Larger cylinder, 2-3 cup capacity per press (500 ml). Best for 2-person households — solves Original's single-serve limitation. Same brewing mechanism, more volume.

Launched in 2024, the AeroPress XL doubles the Original's brew volume to roughly 500 ml in a single press, enough for two standard 8 oz cups. The wider cylinder uses XL-specific paper filters (the Original's filters don't fit) but the technique and recipe logic translate directly — most brewers scale their Original recipe by 2x and it works. The plunger is heavier to press through the longer travel, which is the trade for brewing a second cup without a second cycle. At $55-65 it costs noticeably more than the Original, but for two-person households it eliminates the back-to-back brew that defines mornings with the standard model.
Pros
- Single press yields enough for two standard cups
- Existing AeroPress recipes scale linearly
- Same paper-filter clean-puck cleanup
- Same pressure-extraction profile as the Original
Cons
- Requires XL-specific paper filters, not Original size
- Longer plunger stroke is more physically demanding
