Alternatives to Aeropress? New aspiring coffee nerd here. 

I'm looking to do a hand grinder + french press setup. Mostly for home use, but small enough for travel would be a wonderful bonus. Low budget (under $100 total)

I've narrowed my grinder options to the Hario Skerton or Porlex Mini. 

For the press, I was thinking the $30 Aeropress kit. However, I figured I might as well ask this stackexchange for other options you would recommend, if any? I like to explore alternatives before purchasing.

I apologize if this has already been asked, I did a few searches for "aeropress alternatives" and did not find anything.

Cheers,

Jason
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.
