title_body: Alternatives to Aeropress?
upvoted_answer: The Aeropress is the best choice for travel. I would get the Porlex Mini with it as it will fit inside the Aeropress. 
  
  I think the Hario V60 is also a great choice for starting out, but this is a bit more bulky and not as good for travel. 
  
  Note that although the Aeropress is durable, it can break if pressure is applied in the wrong direction. I had the plastic crack once after putting it in my checked bag. You might want to get a case for it or at least put it in your carry-on bag.
