Michael Hemsworth — February 26, 2026 — Art & Design
The AeroPress Steel portable espresso maker is a metallic version of the brand's signature coffee maker that's constructed with durability and easy maintenance in mind. The coffee maker measures in at 20% larger than the original and is crafted with an 18/8 stainless steel body to give it an inherently style profile that can be carried anywhere without having to worry about breakage. The coffee maker is constructed with a double-wall, vacuum-insulated chamber to support added heat retention and will also maintain a cool touch exterior for safe use.
The AeroPress Steel portable espresso maker is priced at $169.95 and, while available now in the US, is expected to be available in the UK market in the spring.
