Set of 3 Pro Reusable Filters for AeroPress Coffee Maker - FINE, ULTRA-FINE and MESH - Premium Stainless Steel - Brewing Guide Included

Didn't purchase for aeropress as I don't have one! and no intention of purchasing one, I like my coffee hot not tepid. Instead purchased for use in a so called "six cup" stove-top coffee peculator/ espresso, which makes only a small mug, but now it makes it without a load of "sludge" in it.So far I have only tried the "fine" filter, I have yet to try the "extra fine" and the mesh filters. Note that the filter is also very easy to clean, I just gently rub it over with a sponge and it's done. This fits the coffee maker perfectly and is used as a second filter. This filter has really improved the flavor of the coffee, as the coffee is hot and can't be drunk straight away, not having the sludge in it stops it getting bitter, and like I wrote above I've yet to try the other two filters. Absolute bargain for three good quality filters.

I have used paper aeropress filters for years now but this is certainly a much easier and more eco-friendly option. Filters are easy to use and clean, and I like the mesh one best. Another funny little thing to note is they do stick to the black filter cap like the paper ones do with a little water so easy to put the cap on (silly little thing I was wondering about) because they are so thin. The only improvements I would ask for is if they could provide a little filter disc case to put this in as I'm worried they'll get lost, and also I was sent to ultra-fine and one mesh instead of one of each but I don't mind at all as I probably wouldn't have used the fine.

They work... they filter coffee but having used both these and the filter papers I prefer the papers. These don’t always work, if you pour water too fast/slow/wrong angle/look at it funny the filter will lift a little momentarily and burp allowing coffee grinds out into the cup (have tried both traditional and inverted method) but this isn’t all the time, it’s an exciting added jeopardy to the ritual of coffee making. My least favourite bit though is the coffee seems ‘oily’ somehow, the filter can’t stop any of the coffee oils which the paper filter would giving a slightly murkier cup. Still drinkable but I’d rather the paper ones

When I initially got these, I went straight for the mesh filter, which handles finely ground coffee perfectly.. Then I obtained some “Bird and Wild” coffee for the RSPB great birdwatch. When I came to try this, the water sluiced through the mesh, leaving a weak brew. I had an initial grumble, but then remembered there were two other filter sizes. Counterintuitively, the coarser filters stopped the sluicing (I’m assuming it’s because the larger holes trap the larger particulates, forming part of the filtering). Mystery solved! Coarse filters for coarse grinds, fine mesh for very fine grinds (I tend to drink lavazza, which is very finely ground). I’ve now had hundreds of mugs from these filters, and no sign of wear or degrading, and no damage to the aeropress either. The saving on paper is admittedly minor, but they’re great filters that give you the flexibility to get the best out of your coffee when used well.

These filters allow more of the coffee oils to pass through than the paper filters, giving it more of a full bodied, smooth espresso flavour. In my hands the paper filters give more of a 'pour-over' flavour - while these metal filters mimic espresso. I'm very please with the result. For the fine grind I use (and grind is all important) and also Aldi's 'Italian espresso' ground coffee works well. In my hands the mesh gives the best flavour ie most oil and a semi creme effect. I've not experience any residual solids passing through - maybe a tinyesest amout that is quite drinkable. I suspect I'm getting an even grind with little dust from a sage grinder and also pre-ground from Aldi. Its the closes to a shop bought espresso in the home. For a strong espressso is use 18 to 22g of fine ground coffee, add 50g of, off-the -boil water, and stir for 30 seconds then top up to between 65 and 90g of water in total, depending on strength I'm after. Very important to wipe any remains off the top of the aeropress ( or it will leak) place the mesh onto the press, then the grill plate and twist into place. Place a warm cup on top and then invert at 1.5 minutes and press hard to get as much pressure on the cake. Sometimes some coffee comes out the gap between mesh and grill but mostly it flows well. Set to one side by the sink to cool. After drinking the coffee, clean-up, lift the cool mesh of the coffee bed, wash under the tap, and then squeeze the coffee into the bin in the normal way. I've been very pleased with the results. I'm sure the mixed results reported earlier are due to peculiarities with grinding and getting irregular grounds. This method works best with the inverted method, the normal (aeropress instructions) method allows too much water to flow through the filter before its brewed. I found grounds stuck in the holes of the fine and ultra-fine filter and there seemed to be less oil flowing through with these filters, in my hands the mesh made the fullest cup of coffee. Best I've had at home from any espresso machine I've tried.

I only use these filters at home, as you need running water to was out, where as when out camping or elsewhere can bin the filter paper, and compost. It fits correctly in the Standard AP.

These filters are nice, but they make it more of a pain to empty and clean my Aeropress. I used to just unscrew the cap, push out the granules and paper into the bin in one lump, and it was done. It took seconds and left no mess. Now I have to slide off the metal filter beforehand, which normally involves either spilling coffee granules all over the place or dropping the filter into the bin, empty the press, then rinse the filter separately which gets more granules all over the sink. It's not a major inconvenience, but it has changed using the Aeropress from being an absolute breeze into being a bit of a faff. I also haven't noticed much of difference in taste compared to filter paper, the mesh filter leaks half the time when I turn the press over, and I can't tell much difference between fine and super fine. All in all these are filters are handy when I want to take my Aeropress with me without having to travel with filter papers, but otherwise I don't see any upside.

I wasn't sure which filter I will like most, so I ordered this set of 3 differents ones. I tried the mesh and the ultra fine and I personally liked the ultra fine so far the most, so I didn't even try the fine... With the mesh one it was very easy to press the plunger, maybe even too easy. Ultra fine felt the same as the paper filter, maybe just a bit more resistance, which I liked. I think the biggest difference from a paper filter is that paper filter is easier to clean, since one only needs to push the contents into the bin and the paper filter doesn't stick to the aeropress bottom part. The metal one sometimes sticks to the bottom (depends on how finely coffee beans are ground I think) so then it gets a bit messy (I still think it's not as messy as a professional coffee machine though!). However one big advantage of these is when travelling the paper filters are more difficult to keep dry and clean, while the metal one can sit inside the aeropress the whole time without any issue, the same is when storing the aeropress in the cupboard, now I only store one unit. Well, plus the environment, depending on how much coffee you drink. Overall I am happy and I would recommend these, especially if you make coffee daily.

This is much better than using paper filters. I've experimented with all three and have had no problems using them after reading the instructions. Each provides a different coffee taste just as the manufacturer suggests. They have all worked flawlessly.

Rara vez usarás todos estos filtros, ya que una vez que has encontrado el que mejor sabor deje a tu café solo usarás ese, pero es bueno tener las otras opciones como repuestos en caso necesario. Y en cuanto a su utilidad, sin duda debí haberlos comprado desde hace mucho, ya no compraré filtros de papel, sobre todo porque están muy caros esos y estos de metal hacen un excelente trabajo.

Dieses 3'er Set ist unabdingbar für die AeroPress. Ab sofort spare ich mir den zusätzlichen Kauf von Papier-Filtern. Beim Test war ich total begeistert, die Verwendung vom Mesh-Filter und vom Ultra-Fine, hatte ich beste Ergebnisse erzielt. Im Verschluss der AeroPress passen diese perfekt hinein. Ergebnis, der Kaffee schmeckt wirklich richtig gut. Die Reinigung erfolgt ganz einfach im Waschbecken. Würde es jedem Empfehlen, der ebenfalls auf Papier verzichten möchte.

I lost the other 2 because I'm still using one. It works forever. Easy to clean. You'll get used to it.

Con estos filtros te olvidas de comprar filtros de celulosa y además son con diferente grosor, son perfectos.
