I think it's called the Iron Horse Cafe? On University near 280. Decor is just over the line to too modern for me, but it has the best cortado I've tried (out of about 20, in my spreadsheet phase)
For all of us Aeropress junkies, here's a deep rabbit hole: https://aeroprecipe.com/. I hope y'all have as much fun as I did playing around with the recipes and results options.
What is your reason for quitting it? I feel like that might be important context. I quit recently because I recognize that it is not good for my cardiovascular health.
It's made of polypropylene, partially recycled, extremely durable, and again fully recyclable if it does reach end of life at some point. It's also certified BPA free - as opposed to the very first version (that was transparent and used a different plastic). BPA doesn't leech into water unless exposed over a very long time anyway, and the average brew time is about 3-5 minutes; but it's good they made the change anyway. If I remember correctly, BPA became an issue mostly due to being in baby toys that are chewed on, or bottles for beverages with a very long shelf life (e.g. water, that practically lasts forever) where it can leech out over time.
To me it's the ideal travel brewer, since I can pre-grind my coffee and keep it in a tin box, where I can also put a stack of filter papers in to keep them from getting wet. Glass just wouldn't work on the road, the risk of damage is simply too high. And you'll anyway need to have a plastic plunger, or at the very least a plastic coated one, since you need to have a 100% tight seal.
At home I don't use it often since I have a decent espresso machine, but I can see the merit as a daily driver in a small kitchen.
If it is any reassurance, it's a fairly brief and mild withdrawal. In my experience the symptoms were gone by day 3, which was a lot easier than the 7 solid days of hell I went through when quitting nicotine.
For me the withdrawal symptoms only start on day 2, I can do one day without caffeine just fine, but then it lasts ~3 days. Wouldn't call it mild though, I had some really severe headaches. On the other hand side I never used any other addictive substances, so I wouldn't be able to compare.
