Coffee Station Bundle - Steel

Yes, AeroPress Steel is dishwasher-safe. If you don’t have a dishwasher, you can also clean it by hand with lukewarm water, gentle soap, and a gentle cloth every week.

No, because the chamber is double-wall stainless steel, it does not get hot.

No. In fact, AeroPress Steel retains heat better than other AeroPress coffee makers. In brewing, temperature is typically lost in two ways. First, when hot water is added and first contacts the chamber wall, then second, while the coffee is brewing during the immersion part of the process, heat is lost to the surrounding air. Due to AeroPress Steel’s unique double-wall design, less heat is absorbed by the brewing chamber when the hot water is first added, resulting in a higher initial brew temperature. The double-wall design also provides insulation, which keeps the coffee hot longer during the brew process. Note: Preheating any chamber will raise the starting brew temperature, but it does not significantly change the rate of heat loss.

Yes, because it's made from durable stainless steel, AeroPress Steel is a great option for travel, your home kitchen, or anywhere you need great coffee. Like any stainless steel product, it is subject to denting.

You can let it sit for just a few moments, run the filter cap under cool water before removing it from the chamber or you can use a cloth to remove it.

304 stainless steel is a professional grade, premium, food-safe stainless steel alloy known for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. It contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel — which is why you may also see it referred to as “18/8” stainless steel. In fact, 18/8 and 304 are often used interchangeably; 18/8 simply describes the minimum chromium and nickel content within the 304 specification range. Because of its excellent resistance to rust and staining, along with its ability to handle repeated heating and cooling, 304 stainless steel is widely used in food and beverage equipment, commercial kitchens, medical tools, and other demanding everyday applications. It’s strong, stable, and built to last — making it an ideal material for brewing exceptional coffee.

We chose 304 stainless steel because it delivers the ideal balance of durability, corrosion resistance, food safety, and manufacturability for a precision coffee press. 304 is exceptionally resistant to rust and staining, making it perfect for repeated exposure to hot water and daily use. It’s also strong and impact-resistant, helping the AeroPress Steel stand up to years of brewing at home or on the go. Just as important, 304 stainless steel is easier to form and weld than many alternative alloys. That matters in a product like AeroPress Steel, where tight tolerances and precise assembly are essential to ensuring a consistent seal and dependable performance. You may see other brands describe their stainless steel as “18/8” or even “aerospace grade.” In practice, 18/8 is simply another way of describing 304 stainless steel. While 304 can be used in certain non-structural aerospace components, it is not typically selected for high-stress aircraft structures because aerospace engineering prioritizes extremely high strength-to-weight ratios and specialized alloys. For a coffee press, however, 304 stainless steel is exactly the right material — durable, corrosion-resistant, food-safe, and built for everyday performance.

A vacuum-insulated double-wall chamber reduces heat transfer far more effectively than a standard double wall because the air between the walls is removed, minimizing conductive and convective heat loss. This helps maintain a higher, more stable brewing temperature throughout immersion, supporting better brew control.

The Steel chamber holds up to 12 oz, 20% more capacity than AeroPress Original, Clear, Premium and Go Plus.

AeroPress Steel is compatible with standard-size AeroPress filters.

No, please do not place your AeroPress Steel in the microwave.

Yes.

AeroPress Steel can make American style coffee, cold brew style coffee, or espresso style coffee (which can also be used in drinks like lattes and cappuccinos).

Yes, AeroPress Steel makes cold brew.

AeroPress Steel comes with a stainless steel scoop, a stainless steel stirrer, and paper filters.

Yes. Just grind your coffee, heat some water, stir and press!

You can make hundreds of recipes with an AeroPress Steel, but here’s an easy place to start! Put in 2 level scoops of medium-fine grind coffee, fill the chamber to the (5) with boiling water (or 185 degrees if you have a kettle), stir for 3 seconds, then press and enjoy. For more, check out our How to Use page!

Gently brush the end of the stirrer across the paper filter in the cap. This makes the paper curl up for easy removal.

Yes, the materials we use to make the AeroPress Stainless Steel Organizer are free of BPA and phthalates.

Hand wash the AeroPress Stainless Steel Organizer using warm water and dish soap.

11 1/16" long x 4" wide x 7 5/8" high.

You can store Standard size AeroPress paper or metal filters in the AeroPress Stainless Steel Organizer.

The chamber, plunger, filter cap, scoop and stirrer are made of professional-grade 304 stainless steel. The plunger seal is made of LFGB-grade silicone.
