AeroPress XL vs AeroPress vs AeroPress Go and Brewing With AeroPress XL

Coffee + adventure go hand in hand. As long-time @AeroPressCoffeeMaker users, we were thrilled to hear the company was coming out with a larger coffee maker, the AeroPress XL. So how does it stack up against the classic AeroPress or even the compact travel-ready AeroPress Go? We look at all three in this comprehensive side-by-side comparison. We'll also brew a cup using the new AeroPress XL.

I just brew with 2 standard at a time. Great for those 2 GO travel sizes.

[@stuartsilverman3797]

So it would be helpful to know how much water each of the 3 models hold

[@TheJonwilder]

Like a garden I dig it!!

[@crankshaftculture]

Thank you, sir!

[@genisis53]

Thanks for the video! I just had a chuckle at the outrage I imagined the AeroPress purists would experience if they see your video, haha. Not that there’s a wrong way to brew coffee if you like the way it tastes, but adding water without a weighting it, and squeezing the water out of the puck, they’d go bananas lol. Cheers!

[@pauldavies961]

I recently came from the AP 'GO" to the XL, I'm having problems getting the brew in the XL to taste as good as in the GO, I'm doing 300ml to 21G, in the GO I would do a bypass and water at the end, now I'm doing all the 300 in one and it's quite muted by comparison. Have you been experiencing anything similar and any suggestions on a fix? (I'm also using the inverted method btw)

[@crankshaftculture]

I can't say I've had any noticeable change in taste between the XL and classic or Go. Maybe we need to do a side-by-side taste test?

[@AndrzejC]

How does the Go fit with different mugs and cups? The rim is different from the original one. Could you explain?

[@crankshaftculture]

The Go seems to fit all cups a standard AeroPress fits.

Im annoyed with the fact that the filters dont batch between the xl and the regular

[@crankshaftculture]

While it would've been nice, I'm not sure how they could've made more coffee without increasing the filter and entrie cofee maker diameter. I guess they could have kept the same diameter tube but just made it taller. That being said, the XL is already 19" tall. I can't imagine hall tall it'd have to be if they didn't make it wider.

[@supermansr44]

can you make Vietnamese coffee with this?

[@crankshaftculture]

I'm not sure; I haven't tried!

[@waylandchin]

No scale?!

[@crankshaftculture]

Yes, a scale! I measured out 50g of whole-bean coffee before grinding (see 07:30). I didn't show the process of measuring the beans, however.

[@waylandchin]

@@crankshaftculture so you use the scale for the beans but not the water?!

[@crankshaftculture]

@@waylandchin I know how much water I'm using in fluid ounces and weigh the beans accordingly.

[@waylandchin]

@@crankshaftculture if you doing the inverted method, the volume of your chamber will change slightly each time, so you can’t really rely on the lines to eyeball it

[@crankshaftculture]

@@waylandchin Good to know - thanks!
