The AeroPress Go and the AeroPress Original both brew delicious, grit-free coffee without bitterness and with very low acidity. The AeroPress Original is optimized for home use while the AeroPress Go is specifically designed for use on the go. The AeroPress Go includes a drinking mug with lid that doubles as a carrying case, making it great for traveling, camping, or going to work. Please refer to this document for a side-by-side comparison of the AeroPress Go travel coffee maker and the AeroPress Original coffee maker.

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

When fully packed up in the mug with the lid on top, the AeroPress Go, its accessories, and the 20 paper filters that fit into the travel filter holder weigh 11.4 oz. (323 g) altogether.

The AeroPress Go 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 8 oz. serving of coffee or cold brew.

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

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

Storage and Care:

To maximize seal 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.

For day to day use, a simple rinse is sufficient because the plunger wipes the chamber clean as you brew. However, you can wash AeroPress coffee makers in the dishwasher (top rack only). 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.

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.

The AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap's valve doesn't open until users begin pressing. This creates a buildup of pressure that brews barista-worthy espresso-style coffee. The pressure-sensitive valve stops all drip through so that users can extend their brew times and control their brew.

You should use a Standard size AeroPress paper or metal filter with the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap. It is not compatible with XL size AeroPress filters.

You can clean the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap with a quick rinse, or it can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Yes, you must use a Standard size filter with the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap. You can use an AeroPress Paper Micro-Filter, an AeroPress metal filter (either the AeroPress Stainless Steel Filter or the Gold Tone Super Fine Filter), or both at once to create a variety of delicious flavor profiles.

An easy way to remove the paper filter is to use the end of your stirrer to gently brush the paper filter off of the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap. Once it has begun to peel away from the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap, the paper filter will be easy to tap out into the trash.

The AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap is compatible with AeroPress Original, Go, Clear, Premium, and Go Plus (it is not compatible with AeroPress XL).

The AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap makes an espresso-style concentrate that can be used in lattes, cappuccinos, and other espresso based drinks. While it is quite similar to espresso, it is not real espresso.

The AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap is designed in Silicon Valley and made in the USA.

The AeroPress Stainless Steel Filter allows oils to pass through for a somewhat fuller-bodied cup of coffee, whereas the paper micro-filter keeps out those oils for a smoother, grit-free flavor profile. Whichever filter you use, you're sure to make a delicious cup!

Yes, the metal used in the AeroPress reusable metal filter is a food-safe, premium grade 316 stainless steel.

The Standard size AeroPress Stainless Steel Filter works with AeroPress Original, Clear, Go, Premium, and Go Plus (not compatible with AeroPress XL).

Yes, the AeroPress reusable metal filter is made in the USA.

316 and 304 are two different grades of stainless steel. 316 is a premium grade of stainless steel that is much more durable and corrosion resistant than lower grade 304 stainless steel. The AeroPress reusable metal filter is made from 316 stainless steel, unlike other metal filters on the market.

Yes, AeroPress also manufactures the AeroPress Gold Tone Super Fine Filter, a great option for fuller-bodied flavor with increased clarity. All other products on the market are made by third parties.

Yes, the AeroPress Stainless Steel Filter is dishwasher safe (top rack only).

Because it is made of stainless steel, the AeroPress reusable metal filter is not compostable. However, it is infinitely reuseable, so you can make as many cups of coffee as you like with it. Just wash and reuse for cup after cup of rich, full-bodied coffee!
