Baoneo Headphone Jack Adapter for X/XS/XS MAX/XR/8/ 8Plus/ 7/7 Plus Earphone Connector Convertor 2 in 1 Accessories

I was looking at the Aerobie Aeropress and ran across this one in the process.This version of MFP comes with a total of three adapters, the K-Cup adapter, the Pod adapter and the ground coffee adapter. The pod & ground coffee adapters fit inside the K-cup adapter for use. Also included are three K-Cup samples.The K-cup adapter has a stainless hypodermic like needle in the bottom of the cup to puncture the K-Cup. I don't know about early versions but current production is very stout. The top pin at the bottom of the cylinder is plastic, it punctures the top of the K-cup, it has 3 holes that direct the water to the sides of the K-cup. There is a positive seal surrounding the pin that makes contact with the top of the K-cup & the ground coffee adapter.The pod adapter is just a basket that will also hold a tea bag,The ground coffee adapter has an extremely fine mesh stainless screen, the lid has a small o-ring seal & it snaps shut. It will hold one typical measure spoon of coffee. With a normal grind, no sediment is apparent. One note, do not fill the adapter full, leave some room for the grounds to expand.The pitcher/plunger has graduations on the side, the sealing ring is robust, it's made like the piston in a hydraulic cylinder. The ring appears to be a Teflon material and it is backed by a silicone o-ring which serves to expand it. The pitcher slides very easily and makes a positive seal. A superior design compared to the Aeropress.The entire unit assembles & disassembles easily and is easy to clean.What the MFP does well is work with K-cups, a trick to getting a good brew is to add a little water, like a teaspoon or so to allow it to re-hydrate the coffee contents. Do this a few times before adding the remaining water and pressing. Press slow to get the best results. If your brew appears too weak, you can dump it in the press and allow it to go through again. You could also just let it drip and then press when it slows.The ground coffee adapter really needs a fine grind for best results. Something just a step up from espresso. You perform the same routine as with the K-Cup. There are little paper filters available that make cleanup easier and might also serve to slow down the water flow. It's on my to-try list. One note, other than the K-Cup package, there really isn't any waste produced where as the Aeropress uses the filter pads.My reason for only 4 stars is that the MFP isn't a true French Press as compared to the Aeropress. It's more of a drip coffee maker with pressure. What I think defines a French press is being able to mix your coffee in suspension to extract all the flavors then force filtering to remove the grounds which is how the Aeropress works. A little re-engineering and Cafejo could replicate the Aeropress.What the MFP does really well is K-cups and packaged coffee/tea.I prefer the MFP design to the Aeropress as overall I think it's a more durable product and I prefer having the water pitcher & catch cup all in one unit. It's a bit more to clean up but not terribly inconvenient.I may attempt brewing by dumping the grounds in the cylinder and seeing if will pass through to the grounds adapter serving as a filter. The drain holes in the cylinder are generous enough that it should be possible especially with a fine grind. The trade off will be a bit more mess to clean up.I'm experimenting with water temperatures, Aerobie says 175-185F and MFP say around 200. Overall it does make a smooth cup of coffee using ground coffee, it may take an extra pass or two to get the strength you desire. It's quicker than the coffee pot and for a single serving it's a more efficient extraction compared to a single serving in a coffee maker. It will also make for a nice addition to the travel bag. We usually pack our own small 4 cup coffee maker on trips along with bottled water. The MFP might be more convenient providing the room has a microwave to heat the water. One other added benefit for travel is the attached cup. We normally use the motels provided disposable coffee cups. With the Aeropress you'll have to pack a mug.

If you love coffee but had wasting time making it, this contraption is for you. If you love coffee but don't require a whole pot of it due to you being the only drinker in the family, this device is for you!Build Quality:I think the build quality is very good. Everything feels solid. The only piece I find a little scary is the coffee pod adapter. The flap feels very flimsy but it shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't rip it open or anything.Ease of Use:It really is simple. You can actually go on Youtube and they have videos showing you how to use it prior to purchase. In my honest opinion, this device works the best with K-cups. You simple pop the K-cup coffee into the adapter, twist the adapter under the plastic tube, pour hot water into it and press down with the plunger. Here is slightly bad news. I find it that you actually need to put some good strength into the plunger. For me it's not a problem but for older citizens, this might be. This issue slightly goes away when using your own coffee grounds with the included adapter. Also, removing the plunger from the tubing also requires some strength to pull out. Because it creates a tight vacuum (which is required for a french press type device), you need to use some muscle to yank the plunger free again. Again, not a problem for me personally but others may. My tip is to use a twisting motion when pulling the plunger free rather than trying to yank the plunger straight up out of the tubing.Cleaning:This is another non-issue. Simply throw away your K-cups if that is what you are using or dump the grounds from the adapter pod and rinse under water. Do the same with the cup holder and the tubing. For the latter, you want to give the underneath part a good rinse. You don't actually have to rinse inside of it unless you find coffee grinds floating up. I rarely found this to be the case other than one time when I packed in too much coffee grounds using the coffee pod adapter. The blue plunger remains clean. This device is far easier to clean than my previous Bodum french press device.Re-usability:Because you are not limited to using just K-cups, this device has the ultimate re-usability rating. Simply pour in your own coffee grounds and away you go. The device works similarly no matter which type of coffee you use. However, I do notice that while you can use your own coffee grounds, this device was mainly built for K-cup consumption. When I use my own coffee grounds, I notice that the water immediately leaks through right after pouring in the hot water in the tubing. With K-cups, not a drip of water appears until I use the plunger to push the water through. I'm guessing this is why more strength is required to use the plunger when using K-cups as oppose to your own coffee grounds.Results:I get a good cup of coffee when using this device. What more can I say? If you are purchasing this item, I'm sure you are already aware that it is not meant to replace your 12-cup automatic coffee drip. This is designed for K-cup consumption and for users who don't want to spend too much on an electronic K-cup brewer. For some K-cups, brewing 8oz of water is perfect while others pack in more coffee grinds and allow you to use 10oz instead. This device allows for both scenarios. When using my own grounds however, I prefer the 8oz option as you can't pack in too much coffee ground into the adapter or else they will float into your tubing.
