I love these filters. I've had an Aeropress for several years now and have tried a few different mesh metal filters which all failed in some way, too flimsy or too thick around the edge, too hard to clean. These are perfect, they fit the aeropress cap perfectly and they do a great job of filtering the coffee. Some people wonder why you wouldn't just use the paper filters, I did for years but am now fully converted to reusable metal filters. Paper filters take out the beneficial oils, chlorogenic acid and polyphenols from your coffee which harms the flavour and reduces the health benefits of coffee.Use these filters in the inverted method and you will have no regrets. I wish they sold a set of 2 fine filters as I prefer those as the super fine are a pain to push through and the fine stops any coffee grounds anyway.

I’m new to the aeropress world and these filters offer a great alternative to the single use paper filters. Very easy to clean and makes great tasting coffee.

A neat way of avoiding paper filters. I've used the fine so far and it works well with home ground beans. The filters have a rose gold finish and are slim fitting into the Aeropress. Time will tell if they are really durable. Cafe Concetto send a mail with instructions which is helpful as the printed instructions on the packet are illegible. There is a tiny nick in each side of the disks presumably caused by the registration when the perforations are made. This is sharp, but not really a problem. I keep the disks in the paper filter holder so as not to lose or damage them.

If you use an Aeropress and enjoy a full mug of coffee, these filters are worth getting. Because I like a full mug of coffee, the inverted method doesn't really work because it's not possible to add enough water and I effectively dilute my coffee with hot water after I've pressed in order to achieve a full mug. When using paper filters using the "uninverted" method, too much water drips through if I want to leave it to brew for a few minutes beforehand. These steel filters solve the problem. Very little water passes through and I can leave my coffee to brew before plunging. It is harder to plunge using these and it is messier because you need to remove the filter before emptying the remnants into the bin. There's two different filters that supposedly achieve different results but I can't taste any difference between them. No need to ever buy filter papers again and these will pay for themselves within a couple of years.

My aeropress travels with me a lot (home/work/holidays) and this filter is so much easier to take around with me instead of trying to carry around paper filters. I store the filter in the aeropress when travelling to kept it safe but it's pretty sturdy tbh. There are some grounds at the bottom of the cup when I get to the bottom of the coffee but this is not an issue for me. You might need slightly more pressure to plunge in comparison with paper filters (perhaps?) but, again, that's not been too much off an issue for me. Great products, glad I purchased and would purchase again.

The cafe concetto metal filter discs make a brilliant and non-wasteful alternative to the standard paper ones. They fit perfectly and are easy to clean. I tend to use the the superfine if I'm making coffee with one scoop of ground coffee, and the fine if I'm using two scoops. Overall a great product!

Basically agree with other comments. It is easy enough to use, I think the flavour you get from the coffee is better, it is certainly more intense. Not as convenient to clean up as it is using paper and my somewhat old plunger results in leakage above the plunger because the filter is harder to push through than paper, which surprised me. I imagine the choice of whether to use the fine/super fine filter will be dependent on the grade of your coffee but for me the fine filter works better and resulted in less grit at the bottom of my cup.Since my primary goal was improved flavour over convenience in cleaning, this is a winner.

Sehr gute Qualität. Geschmack deutlich besser als mit den Papierfiltern. Klare Kaufempfehlung

I bought these filters (I got the two-pack) because I forgot to bring my extra paper filters with me on a long trip. I have only used the "fine" filter so far, but it has been great! I can actually taste the difference in the coffee - it is less bitter and a little sweeter.I used the tip in the Q&A section about sucking water back through it to clear out all the grinds from the holes. That works pretty well, but usually leaves one or two holes filled with grounds. Not a big deal to me since I use it every day. I do wish it was a little easier to just rinse and go though. I have not tried my "super fine" filter yet, so I don't know how easy it is to clean.

The paper filters are some times difficult to separate from the stack. Once in place they work well. However, you can't adjust the coffee flavor. With these two permanent filters I can choose how to make coffee depending upon what I'm putting into it. Great product and a must have in place of paper filters.

I didn’t find the taste any different with the copper from the paper filters. Compression is more difficult. Can’t empty immediately for another cup for a friend because filter too hot to handle. Messy emptying later with filter stuck to grounds then grounds not popping out all at once. Will keep them for emergencies only should I forget to order paper filters on time.

I was a little unsure about claims of flavor enhancement. I have used both fine and super fine filters with freshly ground beans and was pleased by the flavor impovement. Only slight drawback was a marginally increased time to press the water, do not rush this step.
