SAFETY NOTICES!
Be careful, hot liquids can cause serious burns.
Hold your carafe and chamber securely with one hand while pressing the plunger vertically down with your other hand.
Never press if the seal is loose in the chamber. Hot water can shoot around the seal and burn you. If your seal is worn, go to aeropress.com to order a replacement seal.
Never press into a fragile or narrow base cup. Use included carafe.
Never press hard. It can result in breakage and spills.
Inverted brewing method: Some people brew with their AeroPress coffee maker upside down, which has been referred to as the "inverted method". AeroPress strongly discourages using this method as it can cause the coffee maker to be less stable and prone to mishaps that expose the user to potential burns from hot liquid.
Warranty
AeroPress coffee makers are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from date of purchase from an authorized retailer. Please keep your receipt.
