If you love the clean, sweet cup you get from an AeroPress but aren’t sure which model to choose, the good news is that they all produce the same style of smooth, low-bitterness coffee using AeroPress’s fast, hybrid brew method.
The differences come down to capacity, portability, materials, and what kind of kit you want on your counter or in your bag. If you value a premium feel, the AeroPress Premium swaps plastic for glass, stainless steel, and aluminium, while the Go versions pack down neatly for travel. If you routinely brew for two, the XL variants will save you a second press.
Below is how the current lineup shakes out based on design, capacity, and portability — and who each one’s best for.
AeroPress Original: Ideal for most people • Balanced value and durability; proven design
