When you twist tight the cap on a AP classic, it feels satisfyingly tight, and you instinctively know that it's sealed.
Which reminds me that James briefly commented on how hot the metal cap was after brewing.
Another un-satisfying thing about the AP Premium.
That's James for you though. He places a lot of value on the "feel" of materials and tools.
