Is this piece replaceable?

If not, I don't really see the point of a the aeropress. Why not get a french press and poor into a carafe?
Not sure if you can replace just that piece - I haven't had a problem with mine that suggests it would need replacing.
I guess you could do what you say but the AP is so easy to clean and use I would think it's an easier approach.
The other difference is that the FP presses the grounds through the water. The AP does it the other way around. I believe the AP is much quicker than the FP.
Bottom line, go with what works. To each his own.
