AeroPress Clear XL

The AeroPress Clear XL is the large AeroPress made in see-through, shatterproof Tritan. It combines the size of the AeroPress XL with the clear look of the AeroPress Clear, brewing 20 oz (600 ml), or 2–4 cups, at once into its own Tritan carafe. AeroPress announced it in April 2025. Here’s how to use it and how it compares with the rest of the range.

The short version

• The large AeroPress in clear Tritan.
• Brews 20 oz (600 ml), or 2–4 cups, at one time.
• Comes with a 20 oz Tritan carafe, a scoop, a stirrer and XL paper filters.
• Uses XL filters, the same size as the AeroPress XL.

What comes in the box?

According to AeroPress, the Clear XL comes with:

• The chamber, plunger and filter cap, in XL size and clear Tritan
• A 20 oz carafe made of clear, shatterproof Tritan
• A scoop for measuring the coffee
• A stirrer
• XL-size paper filters

What filters does the Clear XL use?

It takes XL-size filters, the same as the AeroPress XL. Filters for the Original, Clear and Go are too small. For longer steeps without drips, AeroPress sells a separate XL Flow Control filter cap; the standard Flow Control cap is for the smaller AeroPress models.

What grind size should I use?

Around medium-fine, the same as any AeroPress. Grind finer if it’s sour and thin, coarser if it’s bitter or hard to press.

How do you use the AeroPress Clear XL, step by step?

1. Fit an XL paper filter in the cap and screw it onto the chamber.
2. Stand it on the Tritan carafe. AeroPress recommends not pressing into glass mugs or carafes with this brewer.
3. Add the coffee, measured with the scoop.
4. Pour in hot water to the marks on the chamber and stir.
5. Press slowly and steadily.
6. Pour from the carafe into cups.

For recipes and technique, see the main AeroPress guide.

How do you clean the Clear XL?

Unscrew the filter cap over the bin and push the plunger through to pop out the used coffee and filter, then rinse the parts. AeroPress says the Clear XL is dishwasher safe on both the top and bottom racks.

General guidance only. Always follow the instructions that come with your AeroPress.

When did the AeroPress Clear XL come out?

AeroPress, Inc. announced the Clear XL in April 2025 as the latest version of the AeroPress Clear, now in a 20 oz (600 ml) size. At launch it was listed at $89.95 in the US and was initially available only in North America.

Should I buy the Clear XL?

• Buy the Clear XL if you brew for two or more people and like watching the brew.
• Buy the AeroPress XL if you want the large size and don’t need the clear Tritan body.
• Buy the Clear if you mostly make one cup.
