AeroPress Premium Coffee Press - Glass, Stainless Steel & Aluminum Coffee Maker, All-in-One French Press, Pour-Over & Espresso-Style Manual Brewer, 2 Min Brew for Less Bitterness, More Flavor (White)

Product Overview

AeroPress reinvented its classic design with the Premium model, focusing on materials and aesthetics. The brewer’s construction replaces the original plastic with a double-wall borosilicate glass chamber that retains heat and showcases the brew. The plunger is stainless steel, and the filter cap and other parts are aluminum, giving it a substantial feel. Weighing 2.1 pounds, it is significantly heavier than the plastic version, which adds stability during pressing but reduces portability. The Premium uses the same patented 3-in-1 technology: it operates as a French press, pour-over, and espresso-style brewer by adjusting grind size and steep time. It brews a single 10-ounce cup, ideal for individual servings. Cleaning is straightforward—pop out the used coffee puck and rinse. Users should note that the opening does not fit a standard 58mm dosing cup, a minor inconvenience for those with precise dosing tools. The included components are the press, a filter cap, and a pack of filters. Additional filters are widely available. The hand-wash-only care is typical for glass and metal equipment. Overall, the Premium offers a refined brewing experience for those willing to invest in a durable, plastic-free coffee maker.

Build & Materials

The AeroPress Premium replaces the original's plastic with a double-wall borosilicate glass chamber. This material provides excellent heat retention and a clear view of the brewing process. The plunger is machined stainless steel, and the filter cap is aluminum, both adding weight and a premium feel. The components fit together with tight tolerances, creating a solid, rattle-free assembly. Users praise the substantial weight—2.1 pounds—which makes pressing feel controlled and stable. The white finish and minimalist design blend into modern kitchens, though some may find the glass surface prone to fingerprints.

Care requires hand washing with mild soap; the glass chamber and metal parts are not dishwasher safe. The filter cap’s threads are smooth and easy to clean. One reviewer noted that the opening is slightly smaller than the plastic version, not accommodating a 58mm dosing cup. Overall, the build is a significant upgrade in materials, but the glass introduces fragility—a single reviewer reported the chamber shattering during normal use, though this appears rare. The construction is durable for daily handling, but care should be taken to avoid hard impacts.
