Quick answer

To replace the AeroPress Clear XL Chamber, remove the plunger and filter cap, slide out the old chamber, insert the new Tritan chamber, and reassemble. Follow the steps below for a smooth swap.

Why replace the Clear XL chamber?

The AeroPress Clear XL chamber is the main brewing vessel. Over time, it can become scratched, stained, or even cracked, affecting the taste of your coffee or causing leaks. Replacing it restores your AeroPress to full working order.

The replacement chamber is made from Tritan, a durable BPA-free plastic that offers clarity and impact resistance. It is designed specifically for the AeroPress Clear XL, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent brewing performance.

What you'll need

Before starting, gather the AeroPress Clear XL coffee maker and the replacement chamber. No special tools are required. Make sure you have a clean, dry workspace to avoid losing small parts.

Step-by-step replacement process

Disassemble the AeroPress: Remove the plunger from the chamber and unscrew the filter cap. Set the filter cap and any filters aside. Make sure the chamber is empty and dry. Check that the filter cap is fully unscrewed to avoid forcing the chamber out.
Remove the old chamber: Hold the base of the AeroPress and gently pull the old chamber out. If it is stuck, twist it slightly while pulling. Do not use excessive force. If the chamber resists, run warm water over it to loosen any coffee residue.
Inspect the new chamber: Before installation, check the new Clear XL chamber for any damage or debris. Ensure it is clean and dry. Verify the chamber is the correct model for your AeroPress Clear XL to avoid fit issues.
Insert the new chamber: Align the new chamber with the base and push it in until it sits flush. It should fit snugly without gaps. Make sure the chamber is fully seated to prevent leaks during brewing.
Reassemble the AeroPress: Screw the filter cap back on securely. Insert the plunger into the chamber. Your AeroPress is ready to use. Do a quick test brew with hot water to confirm there are no leaks before making your first coffee.
