2 Pack Replacement Metal Coffee Filters For Aeropress Coffee Makers

Works great as a replacement for paper filters for my Aeropress using pre-ground espresso from Lavazza. Minute amount of grind push through, but not enough to be noticeable. Coffee tasted the same as the using the paper filter. Very easy to clean as well by just rinsing and gently rubbing the screen between my fingers.

I didn't even open the paper filters. I went straight to this stainless steel version. The fit is exactly what you would expect, and the build is excellent. The mesh is fine enough for an espresso grind without any grit getting into your coffee. I was trying for the "espresso like" drink, so I was putting as much pressure as I could on the press. The filter was unphased. Excellent option of you want to have something that can basically rinse clean and isn't expendable.

Got my filters yesterday and I’ve pressed four large cups of coffee and the metal filters are great.Using both the conventional and the inverted brew methods deliver a great cup of joe.Clean up is easy just a quick rinse and your done.The included plastic case makes transport of the metal filters and some paper filters perfect.

First of all, the product works as intended. I can see a little bit of rust forming however. Glad they send two.At first, I was very disappointed because there was a ton of coffee grounds getting stuck to the filter, making it difficult to throw into the garbage. They wound up down the sink, which isn't good! It is strangely difficult to scrape them off of the filter.My solution (albeit not 100% perfect) has been to press the plunger down as hard as I can to get all the water out of the Aeropress. I let it dry for a bit before unscrewing the cap. The vast majority of grounds stay in the Aeropress base this way, allowing me to dispose of them in the trash.Enjoy!

I read the reviews from others saying it made the coffee taste bitter. I really like the brew. So much so I was going to buy an espresso maker, but I didn't because these filters let the taste come thru more.There is that debate about paper filters vs metal filters. That paper filters don't raise cholesterol but metal filters do in some studies. Specifically that there is something that paper filters out that something that raises LDL Cholesterol. Again some studies, My ldl has not changed using metal filters.To sum up, The quality was good, delivery was fast, and I prefer the taste. AND its the cheapest I could find for the Aeropress.

I was really surprised at how well this filter works with my Aeropress. Having gotten to the bottom of the stack of my paper filters that came with my Aeropress, I wanted to find something that caused less waste and found these. I tend to favor the brew method of inserting the plunger into the top of the brewing chamber and inverting it, using the plunger part as the stand. I then add my coffee (2 heaping Aeropress scoops is usually the max I use for easier plunging), fill the chamber with 175F water, mix it around and let it steep for about 30 seconds, then place this reusable filter on top of the chamber opening (it sits right on top without falling in), and screw on the plastic filter part. After that, I flip the whole thing right-side-up and place it on my mug or blender bottle, then plunge (with a hand on each side of the plunger, hooking my fingers on the top, and resting my chin on the plunger works best for me). The first time I used it, I was shocked that there was no coffee grit at the bottom of my cup at all...the paper filters had always left some grit.Here are some additional pros/cons:Pros:- Reusable- Easy to clean (flick the filter to get rid of excess grounds, then rinse)- Little or no coffee ground grit (way less than the paper filters)Cons:- Inside binding edge of the rim isn't flush with the mesh part, so flicking the grounds off can leave digs in fingernails- Even less crema than the paper filters- You have to be careful when ejecting the coffee grounds into the trash so you don't lose the filter (more of an Aeropress design issue than a filter issue, IMO)

Works well enough, but not as well as the paper filters. I like to pull the plunger out and pour more water into the press for a second cup. Sometimes the paper filter does not stay put and then I have a mess. So, I bought this to hold the paper filters in better. As a complete replacement for the paper filters these are just ok. The water pours through quickly and brews less, and there is more oil residue. My wife does not care for the more oily taste, so I never use the mesh filter without the paper filter. Cleanup is not a big deal, some grains stick to the mesh, but easily wipes off.

As others have noted, the water runs right through as if there were no filter there. It does not work at all in an upright position. I note that some people say it works well if "inverted" but that is not how the Aeropress is normally used, and it is not hard for me to foresee accidents trying to make coffee that way. The advertising should clearly state that the filter must be used in an inverted position if that is the intent.
