Great for convenience
I take my Aeropress to work and used to use the inverted method, so this is ideal for me. No more worrying if someone will knock it over in the communal kitchen, I can just leave it on the mug to brew. I can't really taste a difference between the usual cap and this using a paper filter, but it's worth it for the convenience alone. Hurry up and make one for the Aeropress XL.As someone else mentioned, it has an interesting flatulence sound as you push out the air at the end of the brew, a bit embarrassing in the aforementioned communal kitchen.Cleaning isn't as easy, you don't get the satisfying coffee puck at the end, and the paper gets stuck in the cap. Make sure you don't lose the rubber seal when you're knocking out the paper.Also, a bit pricy. I paid about as much for this as I did the whole Aeropress 5 years ago, still worth it for the amount I use it though.

This should come with the Aeropress
I'm so pleased I bought this.I no longer need to do the risky flippy method that's caused all sorts of messes and minor injuries to avoid the weak drips that happen with the normal Aeropress method.I also no longer need to even get a mug to start the brew, just pot it down on the counter and start making it, not a drop gets spilt.I use it for a full "4" almost-a-full-mug brew with 15-16g of light roast coffee, but have also used it to create a faux espresso as I assume was intended. I didn't get any crema at all, but the taste was good following a 20g coffee 50g water recipe with 30s agitated brewing followed by a fast press all the way through the grounds.Note: It makes some interesting "flatulent" noises both at the beginning of the brew and the end, as the valve pushes air through, but who doesn't like a fart noise? My wife's review is that it's better than the sound of my grinder anyway!

Good but pricey.
The product is great and not only does it improve the flavour of the coffee but also prevents leaking / dripping during the preparation phase. It is expensive though for something so basic, I have three AeroPress devices, home, work and travel and if I were to want one of these for each it soon adds up.

A must for your Aeropress
I use my Aeropress a lot when out in the hills and this has definitely been an aid. It fits perfectly and allows you to do half presses to make to cups with no leaks. It has also meant that I’m no longer doing the inverted method as it prevents water just passing through.

Leak proof brewing
A great gadget for Aeropress owners as it is leak proof. However don’t expect it to produce crema.

Its not worth it. Over priced piece of plastic
Over rated and over priced. I never had an isuse with a few drips of coffee as I would pull a vacumn to hold the coffee to brew for 3 mns. Yes, this stops the drips but its not really worth the price for a piece of plastic. It also doesnt fit in my kit. I plan to keep with the original method. For me, if a metal filter was included I woudl say it may be a worthwhile purchase. This is what the competion offer and would sem to be the better deal of the two.

Worthwhile upgrade
I'm really happy with this. It allows me to leave the coffee brewing as long as I like before I filter it.Pro tip, if the coffee is a bit leaky check the rubber gasket is in place. I made this mistake after washing it one time.

Do bother
Do not buy.Don't bother. It just ruins coffee and doesn't create any crema. The standard setup creates better tasting coffee.
