Fellow Prismo Aeropress metal filter
Fellow Prismo is definitely the best accessory for your Aeropress if you want to turn your coffee experience into a full-blown home espresso.
It mainly consists of a stainless steel filter, a pressure-actuated valve, and a no-drip seal. Its stainless steel 70-Micron Etched Filter is designed to last for a long time and always deliver a full-bodied brew.
Fellow Prismo combined with Aeropress will produce those much-desired espresso shots full of flavor and rich aroma.
Another pro about this product is the fact that there is no need for a large server as the valve aperture allows you to brew directly into espresso shot glasses.
2Pour Dual Press Accessory
If your soulmate or friend happens to be a coffee lover as well, the capacity becomes an issue with an AeroPress, that’s why 2Pour is that kind of must-have accessory.
This gadget offers you the possibility of making two 8oz. coffee cups at the same time. Pretty awesome, isn’t it?
All you need to do is place your Aeropress on top of 2Pour and plunge down normally, except that with this charmer, you’ll have two filled cups with delicious coffee at an even ratio.
That means no more cup switching or brew separation. The only minor issue is that t
Able Travel Cap
This accessory has to be the simplest, yet the most practical if you’re on the move.
Able Travel Cap fits on the open end of the AeroPress plunger and it allows you to use the empty space inside the plunger as a storage compartment. This is perfect for storing some coffee beans or even some filter papers.
It also provides better stability for the AeroPress when you’re brewing using the inverted method and has a comfortable grip.
Puck Puck Aeropress Cold Brew Adapter
Puck Puck is without a doubt a cool accessory for your Aeropress that will become part of your daily routine on hot summer days.
When combined with a bottle that contains mineral water, Puck Puck turns Aeropress into a cold brew coffee maker, giving it a rich and smooth coffee taste. How?
Well, Puck Puck offers a controlled slow dripping of the water over the coffee which will create the perfect brew for an iced coffee.
The mind-blowing fact about this accessory is that the creators also made sure to make it easy for users to track the brewing process by creating an app: PUCKPUCK Drip Counter App.
Puck Puck is compatible with any brand of mineral water bottles.his accessory is designed for small cups so the recommended cup height is 3.8 inches.
AeroPress Travel Filter Holder
if you want to preserve your aeropress filters, another One of best aeropress accessories for this purpose is the micro-Filters holder.
The gadget also comes super handy If you travel a lot, or use your aeropress outdoor.
The Travel filer holder can hold up to 20 micro-filters. Which is more than enough for that adventurous trip in the wilderness!
This accessory can be ordered through the aeropress official website.
Able Disk Filter
If you want the option of a reusable metal filter instead of paper filters, Able Disk Filter is definitely the logical choice.
There are two different types of Able Disk Filters available.
1- The standard stainless steel filter produces a fuller-bodied cup. This is because some of the coffee fines are able to pass through to your cup when you press.
2- The fine filter option: which allows fewer coffee grounds to enter your cup. So, the end result is a lighter, cleaner cup of coffee.
Keeping in mind that the fine filter is thinner than the standard one so it needs some extra care when applying pressure because it might bend.
They’re 100% made in the USA and are used by a multitude of AeroPress professionals.
Blue Horse Caddy Aeropress Organizer
Blue Horse Caddy is just the right AeroPress accessory if you’re an organized individual who likes to keep their kitchen all tidy and clean.
This accessory provides you with enough space to keep your Aeropress organized and clean during the drying process and in between uses. The caddy comes in attractive stainless steel with non-slip rubber feet to keep it in place and protect your countertop.

A small and maybe underrated accessory, but this fine RSVP stainless steel tablespoon can be quite useful when measuring and brewing just the perfect amount of coffee in your Aeropress.
It consists of a very comfortable thumb grip and measures 4-inches by 2-inches by 3/4-inch. In one word, RSVP offers you the perfect scoop!
And of course, its design fits into jars and small canisters. A great addition to your Aeropress.
Aeropress Double Wall Insulated Glass Mugs with Lids
These two coffee mugs are just too cute and practical to ignore so they definitely make our list.
They’re designed with a double-wall borosilicate glass which guarantees an optimal coffee temperature and freshness. Due to their double-walled design, you can still grab or touch the mugs from the outside without the risk of hurting your skin when the coffee is burning hot.
Additionally, these cute coffee mugs are scratch-resistant, shatter-resistant, dishwasher safe, and microwave safe, they also come with matching lids that will keep an ideal temperature.
Along with the lids, to protect these elegantly shaped coffee mugs, you also get two wooden spoons.
Hexnub AeroPress Protective Travel Case
Among the many Aeropress traveling accessories, I had to include Hexnub AeroPress Protective Travel Case.
This durable case is made from shockproof EVA foam and water-resistant fabric. This means you can comfortably take it outdoors without risking damaging your coffee maker. It also has a durable handle so you can easily carry it.
Inside, there is a foam compartment that enables you to hold the AeroPress, thermal mug, metal tins, stirrer, scoop, and filters. The stainless-steel thermal mug is included, as are the storage tins for sugar and coffee.
I used this multifunctional Aeropress travel case very often and I do recommend it 100%.

This is another great option if you’re on the lookout for some AeroPress filter alternatives.
Altura Premium Mesh Filter is an environmentally friendly stainless steel filter, that is also quite affordable and has a small footprint. This means it is fully washable and reusable.
Its slim design makes it suitable for all Aeropress models regardless of their date of production. Also, the fine mesh filter allows all the useful oils and nutrients to drip into your coffee, creating an impeccably flavorful brew.
Speaking of flavorful, let’s dig deeper into the best gadgets for your Aeropress if you’re a coffee snob like me!

They also have smaller pores and are low absorbent, meaning that the coffee won’t lose any of its natural oils.

If you’re traveling somewhere or just having a nice picnic outside after you’re done with the coffee rituals, you can pack Aeropress and its parts directly into JavaJug2, and with the help of its built-in latch, the parts will stay firm inside.
That being said, I’d say the best part is the stainless steel lid and a two-level tab, ensuring no drop of coffee is spilled anywhere.
Not to forget the fancy JavaJacket that is wrapped around the JavaJug2 to hold the coffee temperature at an optimal value, whether you brew it hot or cold.
The Javajug2 can also be ordered from the Javagear official website
