AeroPress began life in 1984 as Aerobie, Inc., founded by retired Stanford engineering lecturer and prolific inventor Alan Adler — the same engineer behind the Aerobie flying ring, which still holds the Guinness World Record for farthest thrown object.
In 2005, after a year spent chasing one goal — a genuinely superior cup of coffee — Adler launched the AeroPress. It's now sold in over 80 countries and sits at the centre of the World AeroPress Championship, where brewers from more than 60 countries compete on their own recipes.
Every AeroPress is still designed in Silicon Valley and manufactured in the USA, built on the same immersion-and-pressure principle that made the original a category of its own.
The AeroPress Tinted Clear takes the see-through Clear body and adds colour — a translucent blue or red Tritan™ chamber that keeps the same shatterproof toughness while giving your countertop a bit more personality. The brewing technology underneath is identical to every other AeroPress: immersion and pressure, in under a minute.
It's built for anyone who wants the Clear's transparency with a colour that actually stands out. This is the AeroPress that's easy to spot in a shared kitchen — yours, unmistakably.
The blue or red tint runs through shatterproof, BPA-free Tritan™, so you keep the see-through chamber with a colour that's easy to tell apart from the standard Clear.
Coffee steeps directly in the water before you press it through, extracting more flavour than a drip filter while the short brew time avoids over-extraction.
Each micro-filter blocks fines and sediment that a metal mesh press lets through, so every cup pours clean.
Like the Clear, the Tinted Clear is dishwasher safe on both top and bottom rack.
From grounds to cup in well under a minute of actual brewing, with cleanup just as fast.
No cord, no boiler — just add hot water, so it travels as easily as it sits on the counter.
The AeroPress Tinted Clear is built for households with more than one AeroPress in the cupboard, and for anyone who wants the Clear's look with a colour that's theirs alone. If "whose AeroPress is this" is a regular conversation in your kitchen, this settles it.
Same brew, unmistakably yours — pick your colour.

The AeroPress Tinted Clear Coffee Maker is the brewer we've been waiting for: equal parts design object and precision tool. At Buna Coffee, we've watched South African coffee lovers move beyond pods and french presses toward gear that performs as good as it looks. This tinted clear coffee maker delivers café-grade espresso-style cups in under a minute, anywhere.

The tinted model retains the full standard chamber capacity, so you can run official championship recipes without recalculating ratios. Key upgrades worth noting:
Tinted Tritan chamber
For visual brew monitoring and long-term durability
Refined silicone seal

Wondering how to use a AeroPress on the go? Here's our go-to method:
Learning how to use a aeropress takes about three brews to nail.
The shift toward aeropress south africa brewing isn't a trend, it's a practical answer to load-shedding, remote work, and travel. No electricity required, no fragile glass, and clean-up takes 10 seconds.
For overlanders heading into the Karoo or corporate commuters hopping between Sandton and Stellenbosch, the Aeropress eliminates the need to suffer bad hotel coffee. Bring your beans, a hand grinder, and this brewer, and you've got speciality-grade coffee anywhere. The hardware pays itself off in skipped Wimpy americanos within a fortnight.
Care is refreshingly simple, but one rule matters. After cleaning, store the plunger either fully pushed through the chamber or completely separated from it. Never leave it parked halfway, as that keeps constant pressure on the rubber seal and degrades elasticity over months.
Rinse with warm water after each use, no soap needed on the seal. Every few weeks, give the whole unit a gentle wash with mild detergent. Replace the seal every couple of years, or sooner if you brew daily. Treated right, this is a decade-long companion.
The AeroPress Tinted Clear Coffee Maker is the rare upgrade that's smarter, better-looking, and still championship-ready. For South Africans who take coffee seriously, it's an easy yes, and we're proud to have it on the Buna shelf.
Brewing Tips to Unlock Richer Flavour
Go slightly finer than drip grind for body, or coarser for a cleaner cup. Try the inverted method to extend steep time on lighter Ethiopian roasts. Water temperature between 80-92°C lets you tune acidity versus sweetness. And always wet your paper filter, it removes any papery taste and helps it seal.
The tinted clear model features a transparent Tritan chamber for visual brew monitoring, allowing you to watch bloom and agitation. It uses durable, BPA-free material that resists scratching and clouding better than older opaque plastics while maintaining the same championship-ready brewing capacity.
From start to finish, brewing with an AeroPress takes approximately 1 minute 15 seconds. Simply add 15g of medium-fine ground coffee, pour 220ml of water at 85°C, stir for 10 seconds, then slowly press the plunger over 30 seconds.
