Huh. I've had mine for over a decade; granted, it only for heavy use for a few months when I first got it, and about once a week since, and the rubber gasket is fine. I have no doubt that you're right; gaskets almost always require semi-regular replacement; I have to replace the gaskets in my espresso machine every 2-3 years, and boy is that a chore. Those are doing far heavier duty than the Aeropress gasket, so I'd expect it to last longer. How fast did your's fail?
I don't think they're saying it failed. They're saying that it will fail long before the body ever does.
Oh. But, the glass isn't for longevity. It's to provide insulation and prevent the plastic from (imperceptively) breaking down and leaking microplastics into your coffee. I didn't mean the plastic would fail. In fact, I'd expect the plastic to last longer than the glass, just by the sheer probability of accidents over the lifetime of the device.
