AeroPress Stainless Steel Reusable Filter - Metal Coffee Filter for AeroPress Original & AeroPress Go Coffee Makers, 1 Pack, 1 Filter, Gray

Works great if you pair it with a AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap. Without it, it may run too fast, though. But once you have both, it's the ultimate travel companion.

I just don't think this works. I have tried very hard to use this with different coarse of coffee and methods and every time the water just pours straight through. I don't even have enough time to plunge. Not to mention its incredibly thin and easy to bend. Waste of money

So much better than a paper filter , robust and reusable , great item and great value for money

This replaces the paper filters in your Aeropress device. It has pros and cons - on the pro side you do get a wider range of flavours in your coffee; on the downside, you will get small grains at the bottom of the cup which doesn't happen with paper filters. It is very easy to clean, just run it under the tap.

"What should other customers know?" -- Well I'd ignore any review where the reviewer doesn't understand that you need to use these with a flow-control cap or inverted.(There are two kinds of people who brew inverted: those who have had an accident and those who are yet to have an accident. I don't recommend brewing inverted.)That said, these are well-made for using with the Flow Control cap, and fit fine. I don't personally really like the coffee I get with that combination, and I think it's a bit too messy to clean up, so I've gone back to paper filters. But it's a personal choice: if you think you want to try metal-filtered Aeropress with an appropriate method, these are fine.

Does the job as far as removing the need for single-use paper filters goes, but brings with it other issues. Normally when using the Aeropress device, you pop a filter in, lob the ground coffee on top then pour in boiling water. The paper filter and coffee is sufficient to stop the water draining straight through. However, this metal filter, even though fairly fine, is still a lot more open than a paper filter so as soon as you pour the water in, it starts draining through very quickly.The only "official" way to stop this happening is to very quickly insert the plunger, then pull it up a smidge so as to stop the flow. This sort-of works, but you have to hurry as it only takes a few seconds for the water to drain through.The "unofficial" (and definitely not recommended by Aeropress) solution is to assemble the thing upside down - ie stand the inverted plunger on the table, pop the body of the Aeropress device down onto it, put the coffee and hot water in, then assemble the filter and end cap on top of it before deftly turning the whole assembly right-side up while holding your coffee mug over the filter end to catch the run-off. The possibilities for spillage and/or scalding yourself are endless.While it does what it is supposed to do, I think this metal filter is very expensive and quite possibly a bit risky to use. I can't really recommend it.

Perfect fireworks better than paper filters

The quality is fine, but it just doesn’t work. The filter isn’t fine enough, so water just pours through unless you use the inverted brew method, then you still get excessive fine bits in your brew. It’s also really thin, so bends easily. If you use it with a paper filter it’s fine, but defeats the point. I want to line it, but it’s genuinely a waste of time.
