What AeroPress Accessories and Add-ons Are Available?

Updated

AeroPress sells accessories in four functional groups: grinders, flow control caps, filters, and organizers. Prices on aeropress.com currently range from $19.95 for a Gold Tone Filter to $249.95 for the Manual Grinder in Walnut. Which ones are worth adding depends on what your current setup lacks — if you already own a good burr grinder, the grinder is the easiest item to skip; if drip-through or cleanup bothers you, the Flow Control Cap is the cheapest fix.

Official AeroPress accessories

Accessory Price What it does
Manual Grinder – Walnut $249.95 Compact high-precision grinder
Manual Grinder $199.95 Compact high-precision grinder
Standard Stainless Steel Flow Control Cap $99.95 Prevents drip-through
Stainless Steel Organizer Stand $129.95 Coffee station organizer
XL Flow Control Filter Cap $39.95 Stops drip-through

Barista Filter Bundle $44.95 Trio – Standard compact travel kit

Two patterns are worth noting before you buy. First, the Flow Control Cap exists in both Standard ($24.95) and XL ($39.95) versions, so match the cap to your press size rather than assuming one fits all. Second, the stainless steel Flow Control Cap at $99.95 is a materially different product from the $24.95 and $39.95 caps — the price gap is large enough that you should confirm which material and finish you actually want.

Which accessories solve which problem

Grind precision. Both Manual Grinders ($199.95 and $249.95) address the same job: consistent grind size. If you already own a capable burr grinder, this is the accessory with the least added value. If you don't, it's the single biggest upgrade to cup consistency.

Drip-through. The Flow Control Caps are the direct fix. The Standard version is $24.95, the XL is $39.95, and the stainless steel version is $99.95. This is the lowest-cost way to change how the press behaves during the steep.

Filtration. The Gold Tone Filter – Standard ($19.95) is described as super fine filtration and comes in a 1-pack or 2-pack. The Barista Filter Bundle ($44.95) is a Standard compact travel kit, so it suits people who brew away from home.

Storage. The Stainless Steel Organizer Stand ($129.95) is a coffee station organizer — a workspace item, not a brewing-performance item. Buy it only if counter organization is the actual problem.

How to decide

  • Buy the Flow Control Cap first if drip-through or mess is your complaint. It's the cheapest accessory that changes brewing behavior.
  • Buy a grinder only if you lack one. At $199.95–$249.95, it costs more than most AeroPress press models themselves (the Original is $39.95, XL is $89.95, Go Plus is $89.95).
  • Buy the Gold Tone Filter or Barista Filter Bundle if you want reusable or travel-friendly filtration.
  • Skip the Organizer Stand unless counter space is genuinely the issue.

One caution: the site lists "Standard" and "XL" across caps and filters, and the press lineup also spans Original, XL, Go Plus, and Go Compact. Confirm your press model before ordering any cap or filter, since a Standard-size accessory won't fit an XL press.

A note on the accessory lineup

The accessories are positioned as an "Enhance Your Brew" layer on top of the press range, which runs from $39.95 (Original) to $249.95 (Premium Walnut Glass, Metal & Walnut). That means a full accessory set can exceed the cost of the press itself. Treat accessories as targeted fixes for specific frustrations rather than a bundle to buy all at once.
