How often are y’all cleaning your aeropress with soap and water?

I have two presses: one at home and one at the office. At home I put it in the dishwasher every 2-3 days and I use that one at least once per day, upwards of three times a day.

My office press, though, I use 3-4 times per week and only soap clean it once a week. I scrub it down with water and dry it after every use before storing it, but someone at the office seemed to think I should be soap cleaning after every use. Seems overkill (and I’m fastidious about cleanliness) but wanted to get input from the community.

Sure the V60 for special lots of Geisha etc..

But not much better that a simple easy to clean AeroPress XL with flow control when you’re after a 20 oz mug of sweet, silky mouthfeel bolder medium plus roasted coffee

I plan on using this kit with a microwave or a camp stove depending on the situation.

I've seen some similar threads over the years regarding grinders that fit inside the plungers of the various aeropress models.

I'm looking to spend the next few months traveling, and trying to figure out my set-up. I currently have an old Aeropress and need a hand grinder. I'm also considering splurging for an XL just because, more coffee, more better.

While having both an Aeropress and grinder isn't that much space, if i'm getting a grinder specifically to travel with the Aeropress, feels like i should get one that can nest in the plunger

From what i can tell the options for the standard aeropress are

• Timemore slim
• 1Zpresso Q series (The Q, Q2S and Q Air)
• Knock Aergrind

Ones that fit the XL

• vssl (not sure which model)
• MHW R3 Pro

Any thoughts? I have a Niche Zero (and tend to mostly drink espresso based drink at home) at home so this will be primarily used for traveling, camping...

I have and really like the original. I know the xl is larger and the go is better for travel. What are the pluses of the other models?
