AeroPress XL – the large coffee press with carafe
More ground coffee, more water, one long calm plunge – and the included carafe collects enough for two, without brewing a second time.
The AeroPress XL is the double-sized version of the Original. It brews on the same principle of immersion and light pressure, but holds larger quantities and comes with a carafe the coffee flows directly into. We carry AeroPress at Coffee Coaching Club.
For larger quantities
One brew makes around 500 ml of ready-to-drink coffee, and even more if you brew a stronger concentrate and dilute it. For the larger quantity, you grind a bit coarser than with the Original. Dedicated XL filters are used, and unlike the Original, AeroPress doesn't recommend inverted brewing here. You'll need a kettle, since the press doesn't heat the water.

Who it's for
For everyone who regularly brews for two or likes larger cups and doesn't want to press twice. If you brew one cup at a time or want to travel light, the AeroPress Original or the AeroPress Go is a great fit.
What goes with it
For a coarser, even grind, a grinder from our hand grinders or electric grinders. For dosing, a scale from the Normcore range or the Acaia collection, plus a kettle from the Varia collection and XL filters from the AeroPress collection. Beans like Cozy Chocolate or the fruity Wild Peach.
Frequently asked questions
How much coffee does the XL make?
Around 500 ml of ready-to-drink coffee in one brew, so two to four cups – even more with a stronger concentrate and dilution.
Which filters do I need?
The larger AeroPress XL filters. The regular AeroPress filters don't fit. They come in a paper and a stainless steel version.
Can I brew the XL inverted?
AeroPress doesn't recommend inverted brewing for the XL. You brew upright, directly into the carafe.
Can I see the AeroPress XL live before buying?
That depends on whether the AeroPress XL is on display right now. Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – it is too large for that, and the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the AeroPress XL is currently there.
Roastery tip
For the larger quantity we grind a bit coarser and reach for a full-bodied bean like Cozy Chocolate. If you like it light, lengthen a light profile like Wild Peach with a bit more water. That's our recommendation, one among many.
