We wish it was clear too. We chose the material for its durability and gave up some transparency with the choice. One trick you can do is put a rubber band around the chamber at the number you use and it will be easier to see. It also helps to brighten the lights.
FAQ
- previous post: Hi – been using my Aeropress for almost 8 years now, and there is something I've always wondered about, but never even thought to look for a place to ask until I found this page while looking for a replacement seal and chamber. So, the question, I understand the concept of the Aeropress is about pushing the water through the grounds rather than, as with French press, pushing the grounds through the water. What I notice though, is that, after stirring, the majority of the coffee grounds are floating at the top of the chamber. When pressing, they only flow down with the water level so most do not get the water pushed through them. Is this how it is supposed to work or am I missing something or setting it up incorrectly? – From Matthew E.
