How much coffee can the AeroPress Original make?
The AeroPress Original can brew one 10-ounce serving when you push all the water through the grounds. The manufacturer also says it can make up to three shots of espresso-style coffee, depending on the recipe.
Which filters fit the AeroPress Original?
Use AeroPress Standard-size paper microfilters with the Original. The product page identifies the Original as a Standard-size brewer and lists paper microfilters among the included components.
How should the AeroPress Original be cleaned?
A simple rinse is sufficient for routine cleaning because the plunger wipes the chamber during brewing. It can also go on the top rack of a dishwasher; for more thorough care, AeroPress recommends gentle soap and periodic washing of the seal with warm water and dish soap.
How can I extend the life of the AeroPress Original seal?
Eject the used coffee immediately after brewing and store the brewer with the seal pushed all the way through the chamber, which keeps the seal free of compression. The seal is removable and can be replaced without adhesive; AeroPress sells a compatible replacement for the Original.
What warranty does the AeroPress Original have?
AeroPress warrants its brand products against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the purchase date when bought from an authorized retailer. Warranty support requires contacting AeroPress to report a suspected covered defect.
What mug sizes fit under the AeroPress Original?
The largest mug that fits under the AeroPress Original has a top inner diameter of 3 3/4 inches (95 mm), while the smallest has a top inner diameter of 2 5/8 inches (67 mm). Use a sturdy mug or carafe rather than thin-walled glass.
