AeroPress Original Coffee Maker & Flow Control Filter Cap Bundle

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.

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

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

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

Yes, you must use a Standard size filter with the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap.
