AeroPress XL Coffee Maker

The AeroPress XL Coffee Maker has the same AeroPress brewing method as our Original, scaled up to a 20oz carafe – double the capacity, for brewing more in one go.

Understand the Choice. This is the one to reach for if you’re regularly brewing for two or more. The XL uses the same immersion-and-plunge method as the Original, just built around a 20oz shatterproof Tritan™ carafe instead of a standard cup. It comes with a starter pack of replacement filters, an XL-sized stirrer and scoop, so it’s ready to go straight out of the box.

Brews the same way as every AeroPress: pour, stir, steep, plunge, through a paper filter for a clean, grit-free cup. The larger chamber just means more coffee per brew, so it suits a shared pot rather than a single quick cup – if you’re usually brewing solo, the Original, Clear Colours or the Go will suit you better.

For when one AeroPress-sized cup isn’t quite enough.

AeroPress FAQs

What is an AeroPress?

A compact, manual coffee brewer that combines immersion with air pressure from a plunger to push water through coffee grounds and a paper filter. It needs no electricity, produces a stronger, cleaner cup than a standard filter brew, and the Go or Original size is small enough to pack for travel or camping.

How does an AeroPress work?

Coffee and hot water go into the brewing chamber, are stirred, and left briefly to steep. Pressing the plunger down forces the brewed coffee through a paper filter into your cup, leaving the spent grounds compressed into a solid puck that pops out for easy cleaning. It can also be brewed the other way up (“inverted”) for a slower, more infused result, closer to a cafetière.

What’s the difference between the AeroPress Original and the AeroPress Go?

Same brewer, same brewing method – the Go is the compact travel edition, with a travel mug, sized-down for packing into a bag. Most Go buyers already own an Original at home and want a second, portable one for camping or festivals.

What’s the difference between the AeroPress Original and the AeroPress Clear Colours?

Same brewing method again – the Clear Colours are made from shatterproof, see-through Tritan™ instead of the Original’s polypropylene, so you can watch the brew happen, and it comes in seven colours from fully transparent through to solid black. It costs more than the Original as a result of the material, not because it brews any differently.

What’s the difference between the AeroPress Original and the AeroPress XL?

Same brewing method, larger capacity – the XL uses a shatterproof 20oz Tritan™ carafe, roughly double the capacity of the standard AeroPress, so you can brew more in one go. Best suited to sharing; for solo brewing, the Original, Clear Colours or the Go are the better fit.
