How It Works

AeroPress uses a patented 3 in 1 brew technology that combines the flavor benefits of espresso, pour-over and french press into one compact, portable device. You get a completely unique and delicious cup of coffee, only possible with an AeroPress

First, water is poured over the coffee, wetting and aerating the grinds, creating the signature AeroPress smoothness. Then, during the immersion process, water penetrates the coffee grinds for deeper flavor notes and a full bodied finish often found in a French Press. Finally, the magic happens - air pressure quickly pushes the brew through the coffee bed and filter, removing grit and bitter tasting oils for an espresso-like richness

What you’ll need to brew: AeroPress, Kettle, Mug, Pre-Ground Coffee

Frame_427319297_75ec4f49-1dd4-4c85-baa0-9135c44ad5a3

Prep and Clean up Time: less than 2 Minutes

Heat water to 185F (85C) using your kettle (if you don’t have a kettle, boiling is fine).
Pull Plunger (1) to separate entirely from Chamber (2).
Put Paper Filter (6) in Filter Cap (3) and twist Filter Cap onto Chamber.
Stand Chamber on sturdy standard-sized coffee mug and add 1 heaping Scoop (4) of store bought, medium ground coffee.
Shake gently to level coffee. Pour water up to #4 marked on the side of the Chamber. If your mug is clear, you will see some coffee drip through into your mug. This is a normal part of the process.
Stir gently for 3 seconds. Then insert Plunger about 1/2 inch into Chamber to create a vacuum and stop the drip through. Wait 60 seconds.
Press down on the Plunger, applying gentle constant pressure (do not push too hard). When you get close to the bottom of the Chamber you will hear a hissing sound as the air begins to push the last bit of brew through the coffee bed. The end of the hissing sound is your signal that Plunger has reached the bottom and your brew is ready.
Remove Filter Cap and place aside. Position AeroPress over sink or garbage bin and push the Plunger the rest of the way through the chamber until you hear the Pop as the coffee bed "puck" pops out.
Remove Paper Filter from Filter Cap and rinse. Hold the AeroPress under fresh water and rinse the silicone plunger end and then store in the AeroPress Organizer Stand. Clean with gentle soap and a gentle cloth every two weeks to preserve the life of your AeroPress.
Prepare yourself for the uniquely smooth, rich, full-bodied flavor of an AeroPress 3 in 1 Brew.

FAQ

How much coffee does the AeroPress Original make?

The AeroPress Original can brew up to three shots of espresso style coffee. If you prefer to brew your coffee by pushing all the water through the grounds, you can brew one 10 oz. serving of coffee or cold brew.

What size filter do I use with the AeroPress Original?

You should use a Standard size filter with the AeroPress Original.

What kinds of coffee can the AeroPress Original make?

The AeroPress Original can make American style coffee, cold brew style coffee, or espresso style coffee for use in drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.

What are the maximum and minimum mug diameters the AeroPress Original fits?

The biggest mug you can press into with the AeroPress Original has a top inner diameter of 3 3/4 inches (95mm). The smallest mug you can press into with the AeroPress Original has a top inner diameter of 2 5/8 inches (67mm).

Can I clean the AeroPress Original in the dishwasher?

You can in the top shelf, but a simple rinse is sufficient because the plunger wipes the chamber. If your chamber ever gets sticky, wash it with vinegar. We recommend occasionally removing the seal from the end of the plunger for a good washing inside and out with warm water and dish soap.

What grind size should I use?

For the best brewing experience, use a medium-fine grind size, shake to level the bed of coffee grounds before pouring in the water, and pour the water slowly. Read More

How do I clean and store AeroPress coffee makers?

Storage and Care:

To maximize the food-grade silicone seal's life, always eject the used coffee right after brewing and store your AeroPress coffee maker with the seal pushed all the way through the chamber. This keeps the seal free of compression for longer seal life. There is no adhesive on the seal, so you can easily remove it and then replace it on the AeroPress plunger. You can purchase replacement seals from our website here: https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-seal.

Cleaning:

For day to day use, a simple rinse is sufficient because the plunger wipes the chamber clean as you brew. However, with the exception of AeroPress Premium, you can wash AeroPress coffee makers in the dishwasher (top rack only, both top and bottom rack in the case of AeroPress Clear). We recommend occasionally removing the seal from the end of the plunger for a good washing inside and out with warm water and dish soap. If your chamber ever gets sticky, wash it with vinegar.

What are the dimensions?

Plunger with Seal: 5.26" tall, 3.28" diameter; Chamber: 4.75" tall, 4.22" diameter (at widest part of the hexagon); Compressed Plunger + Chamber: 5.26" tall (height of the Plunger), 4.22" diameter (diameter of Chamber).

How much does the AeroPress Original weigh?

The weight of the AeroPress Original (including the chamber and plunger, the filter cap, the scoop, and the stirrer) is 7.75 ounces. When camping, backpacking or traveling light, the parts of the AeroPress Original you would take along (the chamber, the plunger, the filter cap, and however many paper microfilters you thought you’d need) weigh 6.5 ounces. You would leave the AeroPress scoop and stirrer at home, and use whatever spoon you were already bringing on your hike as a scoop and stirrer.

Safety

You should use a sturdy mug or carafe and should never press into a thin walled glass mug or carafe.

Inverted method:

The “inverted method” can cause the coffee maker to be less stable and prone to mishaps that expose the user to potential burns from hot liquid. Be advised that we strongly discourage using the inverted method because it is less stable and therefore prone to tipping over and exposing the user to hot liquid.

Warranty
