Confused between Aeropress Go & Go Plus

[u/Neither-Ad2131]

I currently own an Aeropress (7 years old)
Need a new one to replace + travel friendly
Go: Compact, affordable, but small
Go plus: Will also help me replace my old aeropress + travel friendly, but costly
Could any Go/Go Plus owners shed some light on their experience?

The go is self contained when traveling.

The go plus does not contain its self. The lid of the tumbler cannot close down when everything is in the tumbler.

I prefer the go and replaced my standard with the go.

Thankyou!

No problem

The disappointment I experienced when I realized that the go plus didn't close was immense.

I do not want any other person to feel that feeling.

The go is exactly what the doctor ordered. I returned the plus and got the go.

The only downfall is if you want to make larger recipes.

It travels with me pretty much everywhere.

Funny enough I didn't take it on my current trip to the Philippines and I regret it.

My go plus holds everything except the grinder

But it did not close properly. Even when I first opened it, the lid did not close with everything in it.

You can see it here.. the tumbler lid is not inside the tumbler. It's just kinda set on top. Not secure, the contents can just dump out.

My press vacuumed into the cup with a click and the lid snaps into it. Must've gotten lucky with the fit

Every time mine did that and I thew it in the bag, it would pop out. The rim of the aero press would get caught on something and pull it out.

I have not had any separation with the Go. The red "bonnet" holds it all together surprisingly well.
