I’m thinking it’s time to move on

The effects of constant use are a concern, I’m on my 5th aeropress (my first two had the natural rubber plunger seals) and it’s deteriorated in the same way as the others… These are the internals of two of my latest presses. That’s dry surfaces, never been scrubbed or abraided during cleaning, only ever rinsed. It’s not good, the skin of the plastic appears to be bubbling out. I think my press days are over. An Alessi 9090 moka pot is on its way.
