You must be a messy workerI've got one but use a Nespresso machine in the MH, running off a suitable inverter as has been mentioned above.
The Aeropress doesn't make expresso type coffee, it makes (warmish) filter coffee. If this is what you want then it is a good option. However, the reason I stopped using it in the MH wasn't because of the coffee it produced but the mess - I found it impossible to avoid coffee grounds going down the sink. It produces a plug of grounds you can dispose of easily but there was always some which escaped and seemed to find their way everywhere.
But as you've ordered one, give it a go.
I place a kitchen towel under the cup and Aeropress on top, do the do and then open the bin, end off Aeropress and wipe with paper from under cup, eject slug of grounds into bin and wipe plunger with same paper towel, replace Aeropress in cupboard and drink coffee.
Based on this post I am going to buy one and treat myself
If it arrives I will definitely be practicing. My luxury at home is a bean to cup machine which is brilliant at keeping me going when cooking for guests in the mornings

Have you tired using two or even three paper filters? you do have to press much harder but its nearer to an espresso. Particularly if you press as fast and as hard as you can.By way of managing expectations, it is a great alternative to a cafetière producing a good ‘clean’ (i.e. not muddy) cup of coffee with the bonus that it is much easier to clean/dispose of the grounds than with a cafetière.
Does it produce an espresso? Not in my view; but then perhaps I haven’t studied how to do that.
I, like some others on here, prefer to use the ‘inverted’ method. When it’s ready for pressing/serving, I simply (re-) invert it directly onto the cup (no need to put the cup on top of it before (re-) inverting it.
The only word of warning I’d give is make sure you do put a filter paper in the lid; I have forgotten/got distracted a handful of times! In these instances, things get a little messy when (re-) inverting into the cup!

No decision needed, I looked at the price, wallet says no.
Indeed they are not 'cheap' but this is the thought process, if you buy two coffees a day @ £2.50 =£5 x 5 Days = £25 per week, x 4 weeks £100 a month that's £1,200 per yearNo decision needed, I looked at the price, wallet says no.
My buying rate when out is about 1 coffee every 3 months I'll be long gone before I have saved enough to buy one.
If I spot you when out and about I will buy a nice Coffee for you in a reusable cup
I’ve never used the steam wand thing on my classic as I only drink my coffee black. What is it not very good at?
I've an Appartamento, but not in the van. It's bean (sic) good. I usually have 3 sets of beans on the go, so avoiding the need to purge all the time have a Comandante hand grinder which I do use in the van, with a 25 year old stainless steel moka pot.
The Classic is quite a good machine, the wand will froth milk but does not do it as well as other machines, I think it lets too much air in, the froth is not as creamy/fine when you compare it to a high end machine so I would be interested to try one of the new classics. Phillips purchased Gaggia a few years back haven't looked to see if they still own them.
I set a budget and bought within it. I would recommend it, although I have nothing similar to compare it with other than a succession of ultimately disappointing cheaper machines over the last 30 years. I'll gradually add a competition filter, grouphead thermometer, bottomless portafilter.I had not seen the Commandant hand grinder that looks like a move piece of kit, can I ask as a an owner of an Appartamento is this a model you would recommend or do you hanker after one of the other models? (I know they are objects of desire

Definitely. And as people have different tastes in coffee some sampling of different types is to be expected. I use a bean to cup machine at home and a moka pot when we are away. The moka pot I find gives a much better taste than using a cafetiere, and it’s easier to clean.

With a much bigger budget (and a bigger kitchen with a corner to hide it out of sight) I'd have looked into Decent
For some reason Rocket's tulip cups give me immense satisfaction at least twice a day (sometimes thrice, as I work from home)

Regarding the Comandante, I should have said that you need to buy their Red Clix axle (easy swap) for finer adjustment for espresso.Villeroy and Boch New Wave Caffe White Coffee Cup - (1024841210) - eCookshop

If I'd needed an electric grinder, and wanting to have different beans daily, I'd have bought a Niche
