AeroPress Go Plus

The AeroPress Go Plus is the AeroPress as a complete travel kit. A Tritan press brews straight into a 16 oz double-wall, vacuum-insulated stainless steel tumbler, which has a magnetic, splash-resistant lid, holds your filters and fits a car cup holder. AeroPress, Inc. announced it in June 2024. Here’s how to use it, what fits and how it compares with the AeroPress Go.

The short version

• A travel AeroPress that brews into its own insulated tumbler.
• Brews up to 10 oz at a time; the tumbler holds up to 16 oz.
• The tumbler is 18/8 stainless steel, double-wall and vacuum-insulated, with a magnetic lid and a built-in filter holder.
• Comes with a scoop, a stirrer and paper filters.
• Announced 3 June 2024 at $79.95 in the US.

How is the Go Plus different from the Go?

Both brew the same way as every AeroPress: steep the coffee, then press it through a filter. The difference is what you brew into and carry:

	AeroPress Go Plus	AeroPress Go
Brews at once	Up to 10 oz	Up to 8 oz (237 ml)
Brews into	16 oz insulated stainless steel tumbler	15 oz (444 ml) plastic mug
Lid	Magnetic, splash-resistant	Lid included
Filter storage	Built into the tumbler	Separate filter holder
Fits a cup holder	Yes	Not stated by AeroPress
Scoop	Included	Included

What comes in the box?

According to AeroPress and its retailers, the Go Plus comes with:

• A Tritan AeroPress: chamber, plunger and filter cap
• A 16 oz tumbler in double-wall, vacuum-insulated 18/8 stainless steel, with a magnetic, splash-resistant lid and a built-in filter holder
• A scoop for measuring the coffee
• A stirrer
• Paper filters (the count can differ between retailers, so check the listing)

AeroPress sells it in black, cream and pink.

Will other AeroPress models fit the tumbler?

No. AeroPress says the Original, Clear, Premium and Go won’t pack into the Go Plus tumbler. To make the tumbler fit a cup holder, the Go Plus press has a narrower plunger rim, and its chamber has two changes at the bottom so it snaps securely into the tumbler.

What filters does the Go Plus use?

Standard AeroPress paper filters, the same size as the Original, Clear and Go. XL filters are too big. AeroPress says its standard-size stainless steel filter also works with the Go Plus.

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 Go Plus, step by step?

1. Unpack it. Take the press, scoop and stirrer out of the tumbler. Your filters are in the tumbler’s built-in holder.
2. Fit a paper filter in the cap and screw it onto the chamber.
3. Stand the chamber on the open tumbler.
4. Add the coffee, measured with the scoop.
5. Pour in hot water to the marks, no more than 10 oz, and stir.
6. Press slowly and steadily into the tumbler.
7. Top up if you like, close the magnetic lid and go.

The tumbler holds 16 oz, so you can press twice to fill it. For recipes and technique, see the main AeroPress guide.

How do you clean the Go Plus?

Unscrew the filter cap over the bin and push the plunger through to pop out the used coffee and filter, then rinse the press. Wash the tumbler and lid as the instructions that came with yours say, and let everything dry before you pack it away.

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

When did the AeroPress Go Plus come out?

AeroPress, Inc. announced the Go Plus on 3 June 2024, timed for Father’s Day and summer travel, at a US retail price of $79.95. It was the first AeroPress product to carry the company’s new “Press for Better Coffee” branding, which appears on the tumbler.

Should I buy the Go Plus?

• Buy the Go Plus if you drink your coffee on the move and want it to stay hot, in a tumbler that fits a cup holder.
• Buy the Go if you want the lightest, simplest travel kit.
• Buy the Original or Clear if it’ll mostly live at home.

Go Plus vs other brewers

• AeroPress Go: the original travel AeroPress, packing into a plastic mug.
• AeroPress Original: the classic at home, with no mug or tumbler.
• AeroPress XL: for brewing 2–4 cups at once rather than on the move.
• French press: more coffee at once, but not one to carry in the car.
