After making hundreds or even thousands of cups of exquisite coffee, the Silicone Plunger can become a little compressed or worn, allowing some air leakage around the edges.

Be environmentally responsible by rehabilitating your AeroPress instead of throwing it away and starting over! Just pry off the tip with a little “elbow grease” and put on the new one. It’s quick, easy, and amazingly effective.

It is possible for the seal area to smell like stale coffee. We recommend AeroPress users remove the seal from  the plunger once a month to thoroughly clean the seal.

The silicone seals are somewhat softer than our previous seals. We think they work better that way and will also be more durable.
