The transparent AeroPress is the worst, I have it and it’s cracking. That’s the reason I got the glass Premium version to replace it. You can see the cracks in it and they can be felt from the inside. They really dropped the ball with that one!

Your cat wants its hat back just saying…
I’ve used a transparent #AeroPress for over a decade, literally on a daily basis. Mine has no cracks. Are you using boiling water or pressing to hard? I’ve never heard of a flaw or AeroPress cracking.
Yeah, something "fishy" with the Aeropress. It just tastes A LOT better than all else. But the rubber from the plunger is also in full contact with the boiling water, and some micro bits from friction will inevitably end up in our morning goodness.
The stainless percolators or the french plungers are also great, but the grounds floating in my cup are not pleasant to my taste.
This is the filter I alluded to earlier. Only weighs 70g and it only needs a splash of water to clean up. Don't even need detergent or a filthy sponge, the grounds just fall off from the tap water.
It's also easier to make extra cups when someone visits, which was always onerous with one Airpress. I live on a sailboat, so weight counts and water is scarce for clean up.
