FWIW the aeropress makes the best coffee I've ever had, it's a hard standard to live up to.
The big issue is that the connection uses a standard thread, but with only a half turn of engagement. Pretty ridiculous for a pressure system. The aero press is also only a half turn, but its not a standard thread. Forgive me for not knowing the correct terminology, but its a twist lock set up.
The designer also did not pay attention to mode of failure, because everything will fail at some point. I've had the filter on my aerobie pop off mid press before, but with the twist lock the whole thing just falls off in your mug and all the water dumps out into your cup, maybe a bit splashes around. Its either full lock, or just full open. With the kafflano, the threads loosen (as threads under pressure are want to do), then the edge of the seal burps and shoots a jet stream of hot coffee directly at the user and all over the kitchen.
MassDrop can you guys test this when you're back in the office or can you get a rep to speak up.
I want something small and compact as heck to make coffee on the go. This looks like it. But he said he has problems and they're not good ones. Coffee spraying on you is not good. Just saying. True or not.

But for real folks, don't be me and just grind one way and then use it all the same way.
Output for the Cafflano is not bad, the filter is fairly fine, definitely needs less pressure applied than Aeropress, end result is comparable, but the Aeropress will produce a cleaner cup if you're using filter paper.
