AeroHome
AeroHome supports an inverted AeroPress before brewing and gives the used brewer a cap-down resting place afterward while a removable black PETG basin catches residual liquid.
What AeroHome is
AeroHome supports an inverted AeroPress before brewing and gives the used brewer a cap-down resting place afterward while a removable black PETG basin catches residual liquid.
The stable outer shell and removable black PETG catch basin remain in testing, and the release files and tested print profile are public on MakerWorld. The whitepaper is still in preparation.
An inverted AeroPress benefits from a stable place to stand before brewing, and after pressing the used brewer can still drip from the filter cap. Moving it to a towel, scale area, or improvised cup spreads the workflow across the bench. AeroHome gives both moments one simple station.
AeroHome controls brewer placement and post-brew containment: where the inverted brewer stands before the recipe, where the used brewer rests, and where residual liquid lands. It does not change extraction; its value is a steadier setup and a tidier workspace.
- Place the removable basin inside the outer shell by hand; it does not latch or lock.
- Before brewing, flip AeroHome and use it to support an inverted AeroPress at the plunger ring.
- After pressing, return AeroHome to the drip-catching position and place the used AeroPress filter-cap down. The chamber ring rests on the station while residual liquid falls into the basin.
- The outer shell provides the stable footprint and visible product form. It can be printed in a color chosen for the station without forcing the liquid-handling part to use the same appearance.
- Residual liquid falls into a separate removable PETG basin. The basin is black so staining and normal visual grime are less prominent over repeated use.
- Lift the basin out by hand and empty it when full or at the end of the brewing session. Let both parts air-dry completely after cleaning.
- When an inverted AeroPress needs a more stable place to stand before brewing.
- When the used AeroPress regularly drips onto the counter, scale area, towel, or competition table.
- When the brewer needs a stable destination immediately after leaving the serving cup.
- When repeated practice benefits from keeping wet cleanup separate from the active brew area.
- When the visible outer part should match the station while the removable liquid basin remains practical and dark.
- It does not stop residual liquid from leaving the brewer; it contains that liquid after the AeroPress reaches the station.
- It does not control press output, flow rate, extraction, final beverage mass, or service temperature.
- It is not a pressing platform, transport case, long-term brewer storage system, or substitute for emptying and cleaning the AeroPress.
- PETG material choice alone does not guarantee that every FDM print is waterproof. Layer bonding, wall construction, print quality, wear, and cleaning all affect leak resistance.
- It adds little value when an existing stable, washable tray already fits the workflow and contains the used brewer safely.
- The outer base measures 12.9 × 11.6 × 4.0 cm (5.08 × 4.57 × 1.57 in). It can use any suitable material or color; 6% rectilinear is the tested low-infill setting, and the pattern is not function-critical.
- The removable basin measures 6.9 × 8.6 × 1.6 cm (2.72 × 3.39 × 0.63 in). PETG is recommended for heat resistance and longevity, while PLA is also suitable.
- Print the basin at 100% infill with the Arachne wall generator to improve liquid resistance and reduce print time. This does not guarantee that every FDM print is waterproof.
- The 0.4 mm release profile does not require supports for either part.
- The supplied file uses two plates so the base and basin can use different materials or colors. The tested combination uses translucent PETG for the base and PETG Basic for the basin.
- The two-part profile fits all current Bambu Lab printers, including the A1 mini.
- This release fits the Original AeroPress and AeroPress Clear. It is not presented as compatible with AeroPress Go or XL.
- Prefer a moist towel or gentle hand washing and let both parts air-dry completely. AeroHome is not dishwasher safe.
- Inspect the basin for gaps, weak layer bonding, cracks, and leaks before routine use.
Testing
AeroHome fits compact competition and practice stations where an inverted brewer needs a stable starting position and the used brewer needs an immediate post-press destination.
Brew Supply is independent and not affiliated with AeroPress or the World AeroPress Championship. Testing hardware can still change; confirm fit, cleaning, material, heat, and competition-rule suitability for the exact version you use.
AeroHome makes a narrow workflow claim: it provides a designated resting position and a removable place for drips to collect. It does not claim to improve extraction or cup quality, and Brew Supply does not describe every PETG print as waterproof without version- and print-specific leak validation.
Start with the workflow problem, not the promise of a better cup
A useful precision tool should make one decision or physical action easier to repeat. The first test is therefore operational: can you describe what changed, hold the surrounding recipe steady, and return to the same setup on the next brew? Taste still matters, but taste should be evaluated after the tool has demonstrated that it controls the narrower variable it claims to address.
Compare the normal workflow with the tool-assisted workflow using the same coffee, dose, water, grind, timing, and service target wherever possible. Record mistakes and setup time as well as successful brews. A tool that creates a cleaner measurement but adds too much friction may be valuable for structured testing and unnecessary for everyday brewing. That tradeoff is part of the result rather than something to hide.
Do not change several Brew Supply tools at once when the goal is to learn what one of them contributes. Add the smallest useful control, repeat the comparison, and keep an exit path back to the simpler method. This makes the product easier to judge honestly and prevents a complete competition setup from becoming more complicated than the recipe needs.
AeroHome is in active testing. Public documentation describes the current workflow and the claims Brew Supply is prepared to make, but testing status still means the design can change. Check the linked release hub and documentation for the current file, version, material notes, and limitations before printing or using it in a competition setup.
Brew Supply separates an idea, a documented workflow, and a downloadable release. A landing page can exist before a file so the intended use and limitations are clear, but it must not turn a planned concept into an availability claim. When files are published, the download destination—not an old screenshot or copied model—is the authority for the current version. Feedback is most useful when it names the version, printer and material, fit, workflow conditions, observed failure, and whether the result could be repeated.
Before printing, check whether the linked hub actually contains the named product and whether its version matches the documentation you are reading. A profile link is a discovery destination, not proof that every concept or testing prototype on this site already has a downloadable file. Pages keep the unavailable state visible until a product-specific release destination exists.
Keep the original method available during testing. If a printed part does not fit, clean easily, survive the intended temperature, or make the workflow easier to explain, stop using it and record the failure before changing the model. Open-source iteration improves when unsuccessful conditions are documented as carefully as successful ones.
Competition legality is a separate check. Review the current event rules and confirm the exact printed version before adding any accessory to a competition kit.
Yes. The product-specific AeroHome files and tested print profile are available on MakerWorld while hardware testing continues.
The outer shell provides the stable, customizable form while the removable PETG basin handles residual liquid and can be emptied and cleaned separately.
Black makes coffee staining and normal visual grime less prominent over time while the outer shell can be printed in a color chosen for the station.
Yes. Flip AeroHome to support an inverted AeroPress at the plunger ring, then return it to the drip-catching position for cap-down placement after pressing.
No universal guarantee is made. The basin is designed and tested for liquid containment, but actual leak resistance depends on the final print profile, layer bonding, walls, wear, and print quality.
