I've owned my black stainless steel press from the initial release in February. I have thoroughly enjoyed using the steel press these last several months, and I really don't have any complaints. I've used the press at home, at the office, and while camping. Is it heavy, oh yes, but it feels really nice in the hand. Included a short video of my brew from yesterday using Kavat Coffee Sunrise Blend.

I've also seen a few posts on here that discuss the complaints they have, but not really sure they're real issues.

Yes, there are no numbers etched on the inside of the steel press, but you can easily eyeball where the numbers are based on the numbers etched on the outside. The inside appears textured, but it is smooth. Folks seem to think the inside of the press is textured due to the brushed steel look it has. The cap gets hot hot, yes, but there's also a warning etched into the press and the cap to be careful due to how hot it gets. So this is not something that is unexpected. During regular use I don't have a problem taking off the cap 30 seconds after use.

My one gripe: I also ordered the stainless steel flow control cap when it was released. Discovered after attempting a cold brew that the cap did not fit the steel press properly. The lugs on the cap would not lock in to the base of the press and would continue on their rotation without stopping. I left a 2-star review on the aeropress site and they removed my review and then reached out to me to troubleshoot the issue to see if it was an engineering problem that might affect more folks. Turns out, it was an engineering problem. The initial run of the steel aeropresses were not the same presses used to spec the stainless steel flow control cap; therefore, the lugs did not lock up on the initial release versions. That is to say, aeropress changed/updated the specs of the base for the new steel aeropresses. Aeropress sent me a new steel aeropress to confirm that the issue was the press and not the cap, and I can confirm, the issue was the press. My stainless steel flow control cap now locks in to my steel press properly.

Hola, compre mi aeropress por Amazon en marzo y esta así, por lo que leí dice que ya no me hacen cambio, me. Gustaría saber que puedo hacer para cuidarlo mejor y que no se caiga mas la pintura ni se termine de rayar (en las fotos no se ve bien ya qie no tengo un celular con buena cámara) , cabe resaltar que no es mi primer aeropress y me desiluciona un poco el hecho que no se va a ver bonito otra vez

What is everyone's favorite app to help them with ideas and logging your coffee recipe/settings? I am somewhat new to the AeroPress so looking for something to help me dial things in as I experiment.

I see some mention of the Aeromatic app.

I also recently stumbled upon the Aeroprecipe site and their We Make Coffee app ($19 to join though).

In the meantime, I have started logging it on an index card similar to these.

Would love to hear from you.

I saw a person selling this, very cheap. She claims it's new and was bought before 2023. I cannot find any pictures of different models boxes, just want to know for sure if it's the version i want. All i have is the box picture btw. I haven't tryed to ask to open it and show me what's inside, but she dosen't seem to be very eager to open them? Maybe because it's marked as "new, unopened aeropress"

Всем хорошего дня и вкуснейших чашек кофе!)) Посоветуйте пожалуйста как избавиться от противного скрипа супер кофемолки Timemore C3 ESP PRO)). Что только не делал (руки вроде не из задницы растут). И резьбу промывал аккуратно, по резьбе протирал чистой тряпочкой, а "музыка" всё равно остаётся... (( И если раньше очень хорошо закручивалась и раскручивалась, то сейчас не очень. Буду очень благодарен за дельный совет.

I'm fairly new to coffee brewing and having used Moka Express and V60, I wanna try AeroPress.

I've been looking to get the following in India:

- AeroPress Go Plus / AeroPress Clear (leaning towards Go Plus but it's not even listed on Amazon India)

- AeroPress Manual Coffee Grinder (again, not even listed)

- AeroPress Stainless Steel Filter (listed by sellers with really bad reviews)

Even the paper filters are unavailable on Amazon India.

I checked the price history and they were available in the past.

How come these are either not even listed or out of stock all of a sudden?

I usually shop via Amazon / Flipkart (acquired by Walmart) as they somewhat insulate the customer from scammers.

Does anyone know if this is temporary and the products will be listed again shortly?

Please do not recommend unauthorised resellers who don't have return/replacement policy as it's exhausting to fight faceless scammers.

I had seen the AeroPress XL or Original displayed at a Starbucks store but they said it wasn't for sale. It was just something to get people talking.

Well, the brand building has worked. I actively want AeroPress products. Please let me buy them now! 😅

I am new to the Aeropress world (and the coffee rabbithole in general). This photo was taken a few hours before a spectacular blowout/explosion. I made my second cup the same way (not inverted) and after letting it brew for a few minutes gently pressed down on it in the same position as this photo and got hot coffee all over my lap and the hammock.

I am trying to understand what happened so I can avoid in future, I had re-used the paper filter (rinsed off from the previous cup but perhaps not very well).

I know it's not alot to go on but wondering what the common causes for a blowout (from the bottom) would be?

Thanks.

I can't stop buying Frequent decaf. It's the only decaf I get and it's amazing every time. Should I try any other brands?

Saw a similar post on the Aeropress sub and decided to make one for myself so that I can carry it every day to my office. I use the XL since my colleagues also drink coffee.
Just ordered a generic cheap tech organiser bag
(24.5 x 18 x 9.5 cm) from Amazon and a carry kit was made.
A simple kit which can be customised to your own liking by substituting the Aeropress XL with a Moka Pot, French Press, V60 or a Picopresso.
As for the V60 I usually carry a small 300ml Coffee Frother Pitcher.
Usually wherever you go unless in the wild, hot or boiling water is available or I do carry boiling water in a thermos so the only thing you require in that case is a thermometer.
I have replaced my bulkier MHW-3Bomber Cube Coffee Scale Pro with a cheap Jewellery Measuring scale that you can get on Amazon.
As for the measurement part, I used a marker and marked volume in terms of 50ml till 500ml on my Aeropress XL Standard Carafe.
P.S. The coffee canister doesn’t fit inside the bag but I usually pack pre-weighed beans inside small ziplock bags which can easily fit inside this.

Good day, everyone. When you get a new coffee bag, do you have a standard no-brainer recipe you use to make it on an Aeropress the first time before you start experimenting with it? I realized that I use different recipes all the time, so it gets harder to compare how different coffees perform on the Aeropress.
