I’ve been using the original JavaJug daily for years, and was saddened to learn they were not available for purchase for some time. Then I was contacted by the makers and asked if I’d be interested in reviewing the updated JavaJug2. As a believer and daily user of the original JavaJug it was a no-brainer. I’m glad to see a small specialty company that continues to tweak the little things to make a great product even greater.

WHAT IS IT?
The JavaJug2 is an Aeropress aid:
+ stable base
+ measuring cup
+ coffee warmer
+ travel case
WHY IT MATTERS:
- no more Aeropress mess when making multiple cups of coffee
- tidy kitchen and travel: keeps all Aeropress parts in one place
- food-grade stainless steel and dishwasher safe = cook/heat and easy to clean
WHO IT’S FOR:
Anyone with an Aeropress
WHAT’S NEW:
- flanged lip – easier on the wrist when hand washing
- more laser-etched measuring lines now in mL and oz
- stainless steel lid now included (30mL to measure creamer etc)
- neoprene sleeve includes velcro closure to secure lid for travel or strap grinder handle
TIPS, TRICKS & RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:
- Dual tab fit with Aeropress: lid is tighter when Aeropress is shifted closer to the spout side
- Perfect size/shape for receiving crushed ice from my fridge
CONCLUSION:
Hate to sound like a fan-boy, but since I use of my JavaJug multiple times daily, I always hand-wash, I didn’t know of the original version’s limitation of not being dishwasher safe. The original JavaJug was already my must-have recommended Aeropresser’s tool, so the updated JavaJug2 definitely gets the nod.
VERDICT
Great gift for all Aeropress owners (even if that’s you 🙂
TWO THUMBS WAY UP!
