The AeroPress Go Plus is a complete travel brewing system built around AeroPress's patented 3-in-1 brew technology. That means it draws on elements of immersion, pressure, and micro-filtration in a single device, producing coffee that's smooth, full-bodied, and completely grit-free in under two minutes. The chamber and plunger are made from crystal-clear shatterproof Tritan, and the whole setup packs down neatly into a double-wall, vacuum-insulated 18/8 stainless steel tumbler with a magnetic leak-resistant lid. The result is a brewer and a travel mug in one, with nothing extra to carry.
Where the Go Plus earns its place in a coffee kit is in its versatility. Use it to brew American-style filter coffee, a concentrated espresso-style shot to use as the base for a latte or cappuccino, or cold brew; all from the same device with no more than a change in grind size, water temperature, and steep time. The tumbler holds up to 16oz, and a single press produces up to 10oz of coffee, so two quick brews will fill it completely. The magnetic lid fits standard car cup holders, the whole packed unit is cup holder compatible, and cleanup takes seconds: just eject the spent puck, rinse, and pack away. For technique and recipe inspiration, our brew guides are a good starting point.
The Go Plus is a meaningful step up from the original AeroPress Go. The key differences are the Tritan chamber (clearer and more robust than the Go's polypropylene), the insulated stainless steel tumbler in place of the Go's plastic cup, and the larger 10oz brew capacity versus the Go's 8oz. If you're a regular AeroPress user who wants a travel setup that doesn't compromise on the coffee or the carry, the Go Plus is the one to go for. BPA-free throughout, made in the USA, and backed by a one-year warranty. Filter papers are available separately here.

What is the difference between the AeroPress Go Plus and the AeroPress Go? The Go Plus is a significant upgrade on the original Go. The chamber and plunger are made from clear Tritan rather than polypropylene, the brew capacity increases from 8oz to 10oz, and crucially the Go Plus comes with a double-wall vacuum-insulated stainless steel tumbler rather than the Go's plastic cup. That tumbler keeps your coffee hot, is leak-resistant with a magnetic lid, and fits standard car cup holders. If you travel regularly and want your coffee to stay warm on the move, the Go Plus is the better choice.
What types of coffee can the AeroPress Go Plus brew? It's genuinely versatile. You can brew American-style filter coffee, a short espresso-style concentrate to use as the base for milk drinks, or cold brew by using room temperature or cold water and a longer steep. Adjusting your grind size, water temperature, and brew time is all it takes to move between styles.
How much coffee can I make in one brew? A single press produces up to 10oz (295ml) of coffee. The tumbler holds 16oz, so if you want to fill it, two presses will do it: one to the (4) line on the chamber, then a second to the (3) line.
Does the AeroPress Go Plus fit in a car cup holder? Yes. The tumbler is specifically designed to be cup holder compatible, which was a deliberate design decision by AeroPress. The original Go's shorter, wider cup often didn't fit standard cup holders; the Go Plus tumbler resolves that.
Can I use the AeroPress Go Plus filters in other AeroPress models? The Go Plus uses standard AeroPress micro-filters, which are compatible with the AeroPress Original, AeroPress Clear, and AeroPress Go. They are not compatible with the AeroPress XL, which uses a larger filter size.
Is the AeroPress Go Plus dishwasher safe? The components can be rinsed and cleaned easily by hand, which is the recommended method. The Tritan chamber and stainless steel tumbler are durable and straightforward to clean; simply eject the spent coffee puck after brewing, give everything a quick rinse, and it's ready to go again.
Is the AeroPress Go Plus BPA-free? Yes, fully. The Tritan chamber and plunger are BPA-free, as are all other components including the polypropylene scoop, stirrer, and filter cap.
Can I use a reusable metal filter with the AeroPress Go Plus? Yes. Standard AeroPress reusable metal filters are compatible with the Go Plus. Using a metal filter allows more oils through for a slightly fuller-bodied cup, whereas the paper micro-filters produce a cleaner, grit-free result. It's worth experimenting with both to find your preference.
How does the AeroPress compare to other brewing methods like the V60 or Chemex? The AeroPress is faster and more forgiving than either pour-over method, making it particularly well suited to travel and everyday convenience. The V60 and Chemex reward careful technique and produce exceptionally clean, nuanced cups, but require more equipment and attention. The AeroPress trades some of that precision for speed, versatility, and portability, and in the right hands produces coffee that holds its own against either.
Where is the AeroPress Go Plus made? The AeroPress Go Plus is made in the USA.
The Story Behind AeroPress
The AeroPress was invented in 2005 by Alan Adler, a retired Stanford University engineering lecturer and lifelong tinkerer best known for creating the Aerobie flying disc. Frustrated by the bitterness and lack of control he found in conventional brewing methods, Adler applied the same engineering curiosity to coffee that he had brought to his sporting inventions, experimenting with prototypes in his garage until he had something genuinely new. The result was a deceptively simple device that used air pressure and immersion together to extract smooth, full-flavoured coffee in under two minutes, with a clarity and lack of bitterness that set it apart from anything else on the market.
The coffee world took notice quickly. The AeroPress became a favourite among specialty coffee enthusiasts, baristas, and travellers alike, celebrated for its speed, versatility, and near-indestructible build. In 2008, the World AeroPress Championship was founded, an annual competition that has since grown into a global event held across dozens of countries, with competitors publishing thousands of recipes that continue to push the limits of what the brewer can do.
Two decades on, the AeroPress range has expanded to include the Go, Go Plus, Clear, XL, and Premium models, but the core principle remains exactly as Adler conceived it: a straightforward, pressure-based brewer that produces outstanding coffee with minimal fuss, wherever you happen to be.
