Stainless Steel Filter for AeroPress, 3 Reusable Metal Discs

I just got my AeroPress Go a week ago and while the paper filters worked fine I didn’t want to be dependent on them. Who the heck wants to be on a camping trip and run out of filters and then no coffee for breakfast? I was about to order the AeroPress stainless steel filter and then saw this 3 pack Slimm Filters on Amazon for less $. Now that I have tried these metal filters I give them top rating - they fit my AeroPress perfectly, and the coffee tastes great! I highly recommend!

These awesome reusable filters take my Aeropress to the next level with convenience and portability, and most importantly, they eliminate the need entirely for purchasing single-use filters.

The mesh filter is thick I can't close my aeropress properly.

These filters are extremely easy to use, very effective with no leakage, and fit the AeroPress perfectly. To get the grinds off, I twist the filter a little as I’m removing it, and then it’s a simple matter of rinsing it off. I love the fact that we’re not using so much paper, and it’s handy having 3 different filter styles. Highly recommend!

I am making this comment because I saw some distressing comments by other users who clearly are not thinking through when purchasing this product: 1. Cleaning - yes you have to fish it out before you throw away the grounds. That isn't a feature and shouldn't be treated as one. If you want the convenience of just pucking out the grounds, you clearly haven't thought this through. 2. Cleaning pt 2 - yes you have to clean it with water and soap. Is it environmentally cleaner? I'm no environmentalist but paper also uses water during its process. Is that more water per paper filter than this metal filter? I don't know but it's ignorant to say that pouring much less than a quart of water to clean a metal filter is definitely "cleaner" than purchasing a pack of paper filters every couple of months. Also, I might add, the pack contributes to carbon emissions for shipping and promotes throw-away culture. Did the grounds stick on the filter? Do you think that draining a couple of grams of organic sediment down the drain is equivalent to cutting down forests for your perfect cup of coffee? or the chemical treatment in the paper mills vs the sewage treatment plant that cleans the water regardless of what's in it? Suck it up and take the literal 10 seconds to clean a filter. 3. Flavor/sediments - yes. It has sediments because it allows less filtration. What did you expect?? Don't rate this product because you didn't have the 2 seconds to recognize that this is a feature rather than a bug. I like to use both paper and metal because it gives me flexibility. French press? Metal fine filter. Drip? Double paper. Espresso-lite? Metal super fine filter. You ever tried thinking outside your narrow scope of the world and exploring its endless possibilities? These metal filters should help you escape your own ignorant dungeon. 4. Methodology - yes if you use the standard Aeropress method, then the water will definitely run through. Try using the inverted method if you're capable. Otherwise, stick with paper. If that doesn't work try different grind sizes (if too much is going through, you need a smaller grind size, too little water means you need a larger grind size since the compactness reduces water flow). Finally, my actual review: My roommate accidentally tossed out my last metal filter so I had to purchase more. This product comes with not only three filters but three different ones. Honestly, I should have bought these first and saved the money. This product is great and I don't see any problems with it. I use these at least once or twice a week for a couple of months now. I plan to use these in the next couple of years-decades. The packaging is quite lovely but it doesn't tell you how each filter defines the brew's taste. There are legitimate concerns that these filters may break down in the future but I haven't encountered these yet. TLDR: buy these and ignore those who also believe that paper straws will save the earth. Review the product, not the idea of it
