AeroPress Coffee Press

No, this model is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the components with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish of the glass and metal parts.

Unlike a traditional French press that uses a metal mesh screen, the AeroPress uses a paper microfilter. This removes the grit and sediment often found in French press coffee, resulting in a cleaner, brighter cup.

The AeroPress Premium has an 8 oz. capacity, which is designed for a single serving. While you can brew a concentrated shot and dilute it with water or milk to stretch it, it is primarily a single-cup brewer.

The glass chamber is durable and designed for brewing, but it will get hot to the touch. The plunger and cap are designed to be handled safely, but you should exercise caution when pressing.

Because the AeroPress uses a total immersion method, a medium-fine grind works best. This provides enough surface area for extraction while ensuring the plunger moves smoothly through the chamber.

The included microfilters are designed for single use, which ensures a clean, sediment-free cup every time. However, many users find they can rinse and reuse a single filter a few times before it needs to be discarded.
