AeroPress Go Travel Filter Holder: When to Replace Yours

Quick answer

Replace your AeroPress Go travel filter holder when it no longer holds filters securely, shows cracks or deformation, or fits loosely in the Go's storage area. If the holder is intact but filters stick or rattle, clean and dry it first; replace only if the problem persists.

Diagnose your filter holder

• Symptom: Holder feels loose in the Go: Check if the holder still clicks into place. If it wobbles but stays put, the fit may be normal wear. If it falls out easily, the holder is likely worn. A holder that falls out on its own needs replacement.
• Symptom: Filters stick or won't come out: Remove all filters and rinse the holder with warm water. Dry completely. If filters still stick, the holder's interior may be rough or deformed. Clean and dry first; replace if sticking continues.
• Symptom: Visible cracks or warping: Inspect the holder for cracks, especially near the hinge or rim. Warping may prevent proper closure. Any crack means it's time for a new holder. Cracks or warping are clear signs to replace.
• Symptom: Filters get damaged during storage: If filters tear or crease when stored, the holder may be squeezing them too tightly or have rough edges. Check for debris or damage inside the holder. Damaged filters after storage indicate a holder problem.
• When to choose another option: If you need to carry more than 20 filters or use AeroPress XL filters, this holder isn't compatible. Consider a larger filter case or a different storage solution. For XL filters or larger capacity, look for an alternative holder.
