Metal Disk Filter for Use in a Aeropress Coffee Maker - Aerocoffee Filter - The Micro-filter Stainless Steel Coffee Filter. Washable & Reusable. Lifetime 100%. Filter Fits All Aerobie Aeropress Coffee & Espresso Makers

Works exactly as it should. Easy to install / remove. One advantage of this design over the cheaper S/S screen but no outer ring design ones, is that it comes out of the AeroPress easily after use. The screen only ones (that I have) do not come out easily. You need to leave them in place and just rinse it the best you can with it still in the AeroPress piece. They are so difficult to remove, that I worry I will damage them after multiple installation / removal cycles.I like being able to easily remove the filter and rinse everything more thoroughly. So, if the ease of installation / removal matters to you, this one is worth the bit higher price. Works great.

I bought my Aeropress Coffee Maker about a month ago and I loveit. Its a 6 star product. Besides making a great cup of coffee it is extremely easy to use and especially to clean after you use it. I use the " inverted " method to make coffee and follow the instructions on You Tube closely.I've been using paper filters without a problem but the You Tube Video suggests an even better cup of coffee by using a stainless reusable filter, hence this piece of junk.First of all it doesn't fit at all easily. Its too thick. I followed the instructions that came with it and tried loosening up the filter holder by using several layers of paper filters. After some really tough twisting and finger hurting, I got the thing on the Aeropress, just barely and made a cup of coffee. I thought that things would continue to get better the more u used the filter but they didn,'t. After fighting with this thing for several cups I burned my fingers trying to get it on.The second and not nearly as important problem is that it made the Aero Press more difficult to clean. When u remove the filter holder the coffee spills all over instead of staying in the press so you can just place it over the drain and push on the plungerThey send a brief instruction page with the filter and suggest that if all else fails you can call them and they'll give you some further tips on securing the filter to the Aero Press. I don't have time to fool around with them. If they have something to add why not just incule it with the instructions. Paper is cheap, time isn'tI do want you to know that the filter does make a great frizzbee. Made it over my neighbors house on the first try.I don't know if the other brands of filters are better but this is a definite "don't buy"

I've been using this disk for a couple weeks now and it works great..... now.When I first bought this filter IT DID NOT FIT in the aeropress. The stainless rim was a bit too thick for the aeropress cap to fit over it and still be able to screw on.This wasn't going to stop me from using it though because the build quality and the mesh screen seemed really good.So here's what I did:Got a small pot and brought 3 inches of water to a rolling boil. I then stuck the outer shell of the aeropress in the boiling water for about 3 minutes. After that I pulled it out of the water, put this filter in and screwed the black cap on. The water heated the aeropress up enough to where the cap would screw on easily. After screwing the cap on I placed the entire thing in cold water for awhile.When it completely cooled the lid fit perfectly around the filter.No problems.Makes a great cup of coffee.

I was very sad to find that this will not fit the Areopress without some risk to the press by inserting several paper filters first to expand the gap required for the thick rim of the metal filter. I was unwilling to risk my Areopress in this process. My metal filter remains unused in the cardboard sleeve it shipped in.I would have paid an additional $5 if the maker had shipped a pre-engineered end cap that had been designed specifically for the metal filter.

I bought this filter over a year ago and use it several times per week. Like others, I had a problem with getting it to fit due to the thickness of the disc and had to make a couple of modifications to get it to work. The filter itself seems to have held up well. Aside from a little discoloration, it's in pretty much the same condition as when I bought it.Compared to the solid metal discs with the laser cut holes, I feel that this filter works better. There is a little sediment at the bottom of my cup, but it is very fine, and grounds do not get through like they sometimes do with the other type.Liquid does flow through this faster than the paper filters. If you do not use the inverted method of making coffee, this could be a problem for you.If it fit better, and I didn't have to make modifications to get it to work, I would give it 5 stars.

Great product with modification for tight fit issue seen in many reviews. My fix: Get some fine sand paper and place it on a very flat smooth surface. Take the body of the Aeropress and working in a circular motion sand off a little at a time from the sealing face of the press body. Sand off a little at a time and test with new filter until it fits correctly. if you remove just enough material the press will still work with both the paper and metal filter. Make sure to use fine sand paper since the surface needs to be smooth to make a good seal against the metal filter. Been using the metal filter for about a year now and it was holding up very well until we lost it. bummer! Ordered another with no regrets.

I just received this. It seems thinner than in the photo and thus I can close the bottom enough that it's not a problem. I brew using the inverted method, if I didn't, the coffee would flow thru this screen at a faster rate than a paper filter. Less resistance as I push down on the plunger now. Gives a slightly different tasting coffee than with the paper filter. I can't decide if I like it better or not.

This has not worked for us at all. The metal rim on this is far too thick to be able to use it with our Aero Press. If that is what you wanted to us it with, don't bother. We have ended up using the paper filters instead.
