The AeroPress all on its own is one of the most impressive coffee makers money can buy, producing café grade (or even better) quality coffee without a lot of headache, without a lot of hassle, and without having to spend a ton of money, either.
This amazing little gizmo will totally transform the way you make coffee from here on out, guaranteed.
But while millions of people love their AeroPress just the way it is (and that’s hard to argue with), there are a handful of accessories that can upgrade your experience with the AeroPress – if you can believe it!
Below we run through what we consider to be the very best AeroPress accessories on the market today.
These are the kinds of accessories you’ll want to seriously consider adding to your arsenal ASAP.
Let’s get right into it, shall we?

Best AeroPress Accessories
- Able Disk Coffee Filters
- Fellow Prismo Attachment
- 2Pour Dual Press Setup
- The Blue Horse AeroPress Caddy
Able Disk Coffee Filters
The AeroPress changed the game completely when it was first released, transforming freshly ground coffee beans into delicious café quality cups of coffee – leaving behind little “hockey pucks” of ground beans to be disposed of, eliminating a ton of waste along the way.
That said, there’s still a little bit of waste left behind with the paper filters you use to stop those grounds from being pumped into your coffee cup.
Able Disk eliminate that waste forever.
Product Highlights
Made of only the highest quality stainless steel, these razor thin filters totally replace your need for paper filters once and for all – instead swapping them out for a filter that can be used over and over and over again (for literally years when taking care of).
Available in a couple of different mesh options (fine and standard), you’ll be able to pop these little filters right into your AeroPress without any fidgeting and without any fooling around. There designed to work specifically with the AeroPress coffee maker.
Features
- Stainless steel construction material is durable and long-lasting
- Two different filtration options available to fit your needs
- Very easy to clean
- The last AeroPress filter you’ll ever need to buy
What We Like
What’s not to like when it comes to the Able Disk stainless steel filters?
One of the biggest complaints (if you can even call it that) about the AeroPress is that you have to have paper filters on hand, and that you need to chuck them in the garbage when you’re done using your AeroPress every day.
These stainless steel 100% reusable filters eliminate both of those problems entirely.
You can literally drop these filters right into your AeroPress and only take them out to clean them, keeping them with your coffee maker so that you’re ready to brew at a moment’s notice.
What We Don’t Like
The only thing we aren’t crazy about with these Able Disk filters is that the fine mesh options can be a bit of a nightmare to clean. Aside from that, though, there’s really nothing wrong with this set up.
Pros
- Stainless steel is hygienic, durable, and won’t impart negative flavors
- Super durable, will last a lifetime and then some with proper care
- Two different filter sizes available
Cons
- Fine filters clogged up quickly
- Instead of disposing of filters you’ll need to clean them yourself after every use
Fellow Prismo Attachment
On its own, the AeroPress is responsible for making some of the best coffee you can pump out at home – and it doesn’t require any fancy hardware, bells, or whistles to do it.
That’s part of the charm and part of the allure, and why millions of people have fallen head over heels in love with the AeroPress already.
What if we told you, though, that this accessory – the Fellow Prismo attachment – could make your AeroPress even better at what it does?
Product Highlights
The real highlight of this almost understated looking attachment and accessory is that it can turn your “ordinary” AeroPress into something that can make espresso, cold brew, and traditional coffee – something it can’t do without this!
You see, as soon as you start to use your AeroPress “normally” coffee begins to drip through the filter into your cup. You can’t really steep your coffee grounds, you can’t build high-pressure to pump out espresso.
By attaching this accessory, though, all of that becomes possible.
Some people even leave coffee in the AeroPress overnight (thanks to the seal on this accessory), extracting the maximum amount of flavor and making espresso and cold brew possible.
Features
- The pressure actuated valve on this accessory is the “heartbeat” of this add-on
- Makes espresso and cold brew with an AeroPress possible
- Doesn’t negatively impact the “normal” use of the AeroPress
- Lightweight, easy to clean
- Leakproof seal and stainless steel filter system
What We Like
As mentioned above, thing we really like most about this accessory is its ability to transform and already amazing AeroPress into something that can produce espresso, cold brew, and normal coffee, too.
Easy enough to snap right into place (and with its own reusable stainless steel filter), you don’t need a lot of extra hardware – or any electricity – to make the most of this system.
It just works!
What We Don’t Like
Some people have written in their own reviews that the Prismo has a tendency to sort of “pop off” when under extremely high pressure, especially if you leave it overnight. That can create a mess you’ll need to clean up later.
Pros
- Enables you to make espresso and cold brew with your AeroPress
- Attaches directly to your AeroPress, without any extras necessary
- Replaces paper filters with a reusable stainless steel option
- Dishwasher safe and easy to clean
Cons
- Sometimes the high-pressure produced pops the top and creates a mess
- It can take a little bit of time getting used to attaching this to your AeroPress consistently
2Pour Dual Press Setup
While plenty of people love to use their AeroPress when making a cup coffee for themselves – especially bright and early in the morning when they don’t want to wake people up with an electric coffeemaker – the AeroPress usually gets tucked away when company comes.
It’s just not all that easy to brew multiple cups of coffee with an AeroPress. It takes a lot of time, a lot more than a standard drip feed coffeemaker would.
With this accessory, though, you’re able to double your AeroPress output without a lot of extra effort (and without a lot of extra time, too).
Product Highlights
The coolest thing about this product is that it turns your regular AeroPress into a dual press system, literally pumping coffee from your AeroPress – the same kind of coffee that would have ended up in a single cup before – into two cups of your choosing.
You’ll be able to double your output instantly without wasting time, energy, or effort.
Sure, the cup sizes for this dual pour system are a little on the smaller side of things (this product was designed in Europe where coffee cups are a bit on the smaller side of things). But that’s not all that big of a deal for most.
Features
- Very durable construction materials
- Ingenious design that makes brewing 2 cups of coffee at the same time easy
- Fits every AeroPress ever made
- Easy to clean
What We Like
The most obvious thing we really like about this product is the ability to double your coffee producing output without having to double the time it takes to brew that coffee to begin with.
If you’ve ever sat around and watched as someone used your AeroPress, just waiting for the chance when they finished to brew your own cup of coffee, you know how agonizing that can be.
This thing eliminates all of that completely.
The fact that it effortlessly attaches to any AeroPress (old or new), that it works seamlessly with other AeroPress accessories like the stainless filters we mentioned earlier or the espresso system above, and that it is so durable and reliable make it one of our top AeroPress accessories, too.
What We Don’t Like
Europeans might be happy with the size of the cups of coffee that this AeroPress accessory produces, but folks that are used to drinking 20 ounces of coffee at the time – or more – are going to be left a little frustrated.
Pros
- Pump out dual cups of coffee from a single AeroPress at once
- Effortless to clean and maintain
- Fits all AeroPress models
- Works well with other AeroPress accessories
Cons
- Output is a bit on the smaller side of things
The Blue Horse AeroPress Caddy
The last option on our list of the best AeroPress accessories money can buy isn’t going to help you produce better coffee with your AeroPress (at least not directly, anyway) – but it’s going to make life owning this coffeemaker a whole lot easier for sure.
You’re looking at one of the best caddy style organizers for the AeroPress right here.
Product Highlights
Specifically designed to be used with AeroPress coffee makers and AeroPress coffee makers only, you’ll be able to quickly disassemble, wash, store, and dry your AeroPress components – without worrying about losing ANYTHING – when you have this on your counter or in your pantry.
Made from high quality materials, this product isn’t going to rot, it isn’t going to become discolored, and it isn’t going to grow mold like other caddies may have.
Features
- Stainless steel construction material is strong, light, and durable
- Stainless steel is also very hygienic
- Made 100% in the USA
- Engineered specifically for AeroPress coffee makers
- Rubberized feet are nonslip on counter surfaces
What We Like
We like absolutely everything about this countertop caddy for the AeroPress!
Lightweight, minimalist, and something that sort of gets out of the way on your counter (rather than gobble up a lot of space), you’ll be able to keep everything clean and organized when you snap this up.
You’ll never again have to worry about losing core components of your AeroPress. You’ll never have to worry about how you’ll clean and dry your AeroPress quickly and effectively. This thing is a game changer.
The fact that it’s made in the USA out of high quality stainless steel components is another big bonus.
What We Don’t Like
There’s absolutely nothing we don’t love about this AeroPress accessory.
It’s about as close to a perfect option as you’re going to find today.
Pros and Cons
- Stainless steel is durable, hygienic, and easy to clean
- Unit is lightweight and discrete on your countertop
- Intentionally designed for your AeroPress coffee maker
- Keeps everything safe and organized
