Is AeroPress dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
The AeroPress is generally considered dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the rubber seal and prevent potential warping.
Why
The AeroPress is made of polypropylene plastic and a rubber plunger seal. While the plastic is dishwasher safe on the top rack, the high heat and harsh detergents can degrade the rubber seal over time, reducing its lifespan. Many manufacturers recommend hand washing to maintain performance.
How to wash it
Hand wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive scrubbers. If using a dishwasher, place only the plastic parts on the top rack and remove the rubber seal first.
