The day your AeroPress arrives is like a holiday for home baristas. That excitement is hard to match, but not impossible. The secret? Spice up your coffee routine with some incredible AeroPress accessories. It’s a game-changer for your coffee adventures.

Looking to improve your coffee-making skills or searching for the perfect gift for a coffee enthusiast? These AeroPress accessories are must-haves to enhance an already fantastic coffee experience.

Quick Take: Best AeroPress Accessories

1. Aesir Premium Paper Filters

Discover the secret to a better brew with the AeroPress and AeroPress Go. Ditch the thin, low-grade paper filters they come with. Switch to Aesir’s premium filters for a simple, affordable upgrade that promises a smoother cup every time.

But why does filter quality matter?

AeroPress coffee shines for its clean, vibrant flavor with hardly any grit. It’s a key contrast to French press brews, known for more sediment.

If you’re not a fan of gritty coffee, Aesir filters are your best bet. They make your coffee super clear and taste amazing every time. Even the top baristas at the 2019 World AeroPress Championship swear by them, with both the 1st and 3rd place winners using them.

2. Able Disk Metal Filter Set

I took a leap thinking you might not love French press coffee. It’s true, not everyone enjoys their coffee light and smooth. For those who crave a richer, bolder cup, it’s time to say goodbye to paper filters and hello to a metal press.

Enjoy the best of both: rich, full flavors and smooth, clean tastes in your coffee.

The Able Disk set includes two metal filters. The standard one brews a rich, bold coffee, perfect for French press lovers. The fine filter, on the other hand, delivers a smoother, lighter coffee, much like what you’d get from an AeroPress.

This coffee set really brings top-notch quality to the table. The star of the show is the Able Disk filter, which is the finest metal filter for AeroPress I’ve come across. Crafted from a single piece of stainless steel, these filters are built to last. Just a heads-up, though: like most fine filters, they can bend if you press too hard.

The Able Disk filters, just like the AeroPress, hail from the USA.

3. Fellow Prismo Espresso Cap Attachment

Many AeroPress fans love how flexible it is. I fell for the inverted method to make AeroPress espresso right away. But, Fellow discovered a top-notch method for brewing even richer espresso-style coffee with an AeroPress.

The Prismo is a cool twist for your AeroPress, swapping out the usual cap for something special. What sets it apart? A clever valve that seals tight, stopping any drips until you’re ready. It’s like having a magic button for your coffee!

Struggling with the upside-down AeroPress trick? Try the Prismo! It’s a bit more work than the regular AeroPress method but way easier than flipping it upside down. Plus, with the Prismo, you can say goodbye to messy spills since there’s no need to turn the AeroPress over. Perfect for making coffee without the fuss!

The Prismo is a game-changer for coffee lovers! It includes a metal filter, much like the fine one from the Able collection. This fine mesh, combined with the unique pressure valve, creates a coffee that’s as close to genuine espresso as you can get without an actual machine. Plus, the Prismo is more affordable and compact than a budget espresso machine, making it a great choice for your kitchen.

4. Puck Puck Cold Brew Attachment

Explore different AeroPress cold brew recipes! Though traditionally, AeroPress couldn’t do slow-drip cold brew, that changed with the Puck Puck attachment. Now, even beginners can enjoy more cold brew varieties.

This small gadget transforms your AeroPress into a cold brew maker by letting you attach a water bottle and control how fast the water drips in. In just 2.5 hours, you’ll have a tasty, easy-to-make cold brew.

The catch? It only works with certain water bottle brands. Don’t see your go-to brand? No worries! You can just grab the Puck Puck water vessel to pair with the attachment.

5. Able Travel Cap

The AeroPress is a fantastic travel coffee maker because it’s small and tough. Plus, you can store the filters in the plunger handle, which is super handy. It would be perfect if it had a cap to keep the filters secure and clean.

Well, Able has created just such a cap. 

This handy travel cap snaps right onto your plunger handle, keeping your coffee essentials safe. Just throw in some filters and a small bag of beans, and you’re all set for brewing coffee anywhere you go. Just add water, and you’re ready to enjoy a fresh cup on the move!

The cap doubles as a cozy grip while you plunge your coffee. While the AeroPress handle feels fine, the added American-made rubber layer makes it even better.

6. 2Pour Dual Press Accessory

AeroPress recipes are perfect for brewing a single cup of coffee. Though you can make more than one cup, it’s a bit tricky. You’ll need a big container, such as a mason jar, to hold the coffee before pouring it into separate mugs. It’s doable but not as straightforward as making just one cup.

The 2Pour fixes both of those problems.

Ever noticed those coffee makers with spouts? The 2Pour works just like them. It brews coffee and divides it equally between two mugs, pouring directly. So, you don’t need a big pot or to pour the coffee again. Simple and neat, right? Perfect for sharing a fresh brew with someone special.

It’s a simple device, but it works so incredibly well.

7. JavaJug2 AeroPress Carafe

The 2Pour offers a fix for making several cups with an AeroPress, but it’s not alone. The JavaJug2 steps up, providing a big container that can hold a whopping 32 ounces, or 4 cups, of your favorite coffee. 

The AeroPress sits perfectly on the JavaJug2, letting you brew directly into it. Pop the lid on, and your coffee stays warm, even more with the cozy JavaJacket. It’s great for brewing several cups at home or for taking on the go, thanks to its no-spill design. Perfect for coffee lovers everywhere!

The JavaJug2 is a game-changer for AeroPress lovers on the go. It keeps your water hot for a while and has handy marks inside to measure the perfect amount for brewing. Plus, it’s big enough to safely store your entire AeroPress. Say hello to hassle-free coffee travels!

Choose from six cool colors: black, camo, lime green, blue, gray, and red. Add a splash of style to your coffee gear!

8. Hexnub AeroPress Compact Organizer

The AeroPress is a simple coffee maker with just a few parts. Wouldn’t it be great to keep them all together neatly? That’s where the Hexnub organizer comes in! It fits the AeroPress, paddle, funnel, scoop, and even some filters, all in one tidy spot.

Crafted from bamboo, this setup features an AeroPress and funnel resting on heat-resistant silicone mats, making cleanup a breeze.

Short on counter space? Get a hanging AeroPress organizer to save room.

9. Baratza Encore Burr Coffee Grinder

A good coffee grinder is key to a great cup of coffee. Believe it or not, using a low-end blade grinder, or skipping one entirely, can spoil your brew more than a cheap coffee maker ever would.

When you use pre-ground coffee with your AeroPress, you’re missing out. Ground coffee goes stale fast, so to unlock the best taste, you should grind your own beans. Plus, pre-ground coffee doesn’t let you pick the grind size, limiting the AeroPress recipes you can try. Freshly ground beans make all the difference!

The Baratza Encore is a top pick for AeroPress fans, standing out as the best coffee grinder. Known for its quality, Baratza’s Encore offers high-end features at a mid-range price, making it perfect for brewing your favorite cup.

This sleek machine is user-friendly and mighty. Its commercial-grade stainless steel burrs outshine all bladed grinders.

With 40 grind settings, the Encore grinder lets you perfectly match any AeroPress recipe, giving you total control to fine-tune your coffee’s texture.

10. 1Zpresso Q2 Manual Coffee Grinder

The Baratza Encore shines on your counter, but for travel, a hand grinder is more affordable, compact, and handy.

The 1Zpresso grinder’s small, sturdy stainless steel body packs a punch, outlasting other handheld options. With over 60 grind settings, it outperforms the Encore, offering incredible versatility for any coffee lover.

Hand grinders might need some muscle, but the 1Zpresso’s unique ball handle makes grinding easier than ever. You won’t break a sweat grinding beans for 1–2 cups of coffee – which is just the right amount this grinder can hold. Perfect for your morning brew!

11. Brewista Ratio Coffee Scale

For certain recipes, using a scoop to measure your coffee grounds works just fine. However, for AeroPress espresso and other complex brews, weighing your grounds is the key to perfection.

The Brewista Ratio is a top-notch coffee scale perfect for all brewing styles, especially the AeroPress. Its design withstands heat and water, making it great for direct AeroPress measurements and the inverted method.

What really sets this scale apart isn’t just its cool factor. It cleverly calculates the exact amount of water you need for your coffee, using your coffee grounds and a specific coffee-to-water ratio. It’s a handy feature not found in ordinary kitchen scales.

12. Cosori Electric Gooseneck Kettle

Discover the magic of gooseneck kettles! Ideal for manual coffee lovers, they offer precise temperature control and pouring. Perfect your AeroPress recipes and unlock the full flavor of your coffee with these essential tools.

The Cosori, holding 0.8 liters, is just right for your AeroPress. It’s packed with cool features that outshine others. Plus, its coated handle feels super comfy when you’re pouring. Perfect for coffee lovers!

First up, this kettle gives you power over your water’s heat, offering four preset temperatures right off the bat. But, if you grab the Bluetooth model, you’re in for a treat. You can set the temperature anywhere between 104–212 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s the most flexibility I’ve come across in a kettle! 

The Cosori kettle is crafted from top-notch, food-safe stainless steel, ensuring no plastic touches your water. It features a handy keep-warm function that you can set anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes. Plus, you can schedule when you want your water heated up. If you choose the upgraded model, you can tweak all these settings right from an app.

Upgrade Your AeroPress Experience

The AeroPress is a super cool coffee maker on its own. But add the right accessories, and it’s like having the ease of a Nespresso machine, the top-notch coffee taste of an automatic pour-over, and the all-in-one magic of a dual coffee maker.

Got your gear ready? It’s time to dive into the AeroPress adventure! But hold on, you’ll need some coffee beans. While AeroPress is versatile with any beans, why not explore amazing espresso beans or third-wave specialty coffees for a top-notch brew?
