Able - DISK Stainless Steel Coffee Filter, AeroPress Coffee Maker-Compatible, AeroPress Accessories for Home & Cafes, 2.45” Reusable Coffee Filters (254-Micron Standard + 152-Micron Fine), Pack of 2

I use a V60 pour over, & paper filters with my Aeropress. I decided to add this to my coffee brewing mix since I wanted to simulate something more like a french press. It's also fun to taste coffee made from a V60 vs paper filter vs standard filter. They all have their benefits & unique tastes. Both filters are great quality & will likely last a lifetime. I prefer the taste from the standard set. Tastes smoother, with more flavor profile for me.

Fits the Aeropress perfectly and works as described. Using a magnifying glass, I found the holes uniform and with smooth edges. A well-made product and worthwhile addition to my Aeropress system. FYI: I have been a daily latte maker since the 1990s. The Aeropress is my go-to for travel and when I'm in a hurry at home.

I use paper filter for over ten years but want to experiment different brewing equipment recently. I immediately tasted the different the first time with the standard one. I was using city Yirgacheffe Aricha Washed roasted by myself. The citrus and floral profile stand is more prominent than brewing with paper filter. I am drinking another one from full city Yirgacheffe Kochere Washed at this moment. It is so strong that resemble an espresso. The filter can be cleaned by rinsing with running water. I haven't try fine one as it will probably harder to press on top of a small cup and I am afraid to break it soon. There will be some residue when using a finer grind which doesn't border me much. Overall very satisfied with this product.

These two stainless steel filters are two more pieces to my AeroPress Coffee Erector Set. I look forward to the many different ways I plan to explore using these filters. (In the future: I plan to see how well they brew using AeroPress Instructions.) Pros: * Both filters brew a decent cup of coffee * I would expect that following the directions with proper equipment, coffee beans, and water that you could duplicate a perfect cup of coffee using these filters * Packaging also serves as storage case with the fine and coffee filter along with instructions for use given. One for each filter. * Both filters are well machined and instructions let us know which end goes up. * Contrary to what I was hearing about these filters they were fairly easy to clean. I just pulled the coffee back into AeroPress with just filter exposed and then slide filter off sideways as to strip the clinging wet coffee beans to the press and not on the filters. After that I used one drop of dishwashing fluid, to filter, rubbed between my hands lightly and ran under hot water from tap while doing this. Filter came out clean and free of debris. * These are flat and fit well in AeroPress * No problem brewing with either Fine or Regular filter. Cons: * Filters only come with only brewing instructions for one each, where we are referred to website for more, yet none exist there. * Medium grind is required for both regular and fine filters. * Instructions for Fine Filter brew call for use specialized coffee scale. * On arrival filters had light scratches and one hole was plugged with debris making me think that maybe I had used filters. * No instructions for Espresso Shot Brew given on website or with filters, and was actually primary reason for getting filters. Last Note: Holes on these filters are conical so be sure to have label up when putting in your AeroPress filter cap and you'll be fine. Yes I'd buy these again and recommend to a friend. If you have any questions leave them below and I'll do my best to answer or find you someone that can. Thank you.

Construction: Both disks look durable and well-made and work as expected. FINE disk is significantly thinner and looks more delicate compared to the standard disk. Only time will tell. Cleanup: Takes longer compared to paper filters (which are usually just thrown away) and some very fine sediments get stuck especially on the FINE disk. Expect the sediments and oils to affect the mouth feel and alter the flavor a bit, but not really too much.

The problem with the paper filter the Aeropress originally comes with is that they absorb much of the oils from the coffee. I enjoy the taste the oils bring to my cup, so these reusable metal filters are not only an environment-friendly alternative to paper filters, but also can improve the way your coffee tastes. The standard disk has larger holes, so to avoid fines in the cup I have to grind a little bit coarser than with the fine disk. So, all things equal, brewing with the standard disk leads to a cup a bit less extracted that brewing with the fine disk. It's fun to experiment with different grinding settings and see what I get with each disk. My only complain is that there were very minor cosmetic flaws on both disks. While these flaws don't interfere with the brewing, they upset me a little (but not enough for me to return the disks).

I was honestly a bit hesitant to try this. a filter that makes coffee a bit more "dirty" was not something i was looking forward to. But after having a taste at some french press style coffee, I decided to take the plunge (hah) and go for it. and im really glad i did. This produces a cup that has more oils and more solids and makes for a great cup with lots of mouthfeel. Don't get me wrong, paper is still nice, but sometimes you want to try coffee in different ways to get a real feel for it and understand the flavors better.

These fit and work well, and the product is nicely packaged. I didn't think that I would be able to notice much of a difference between the two, but the coffee does taste notably different. So, I've learned a little about my coffee preferences as a result of this purchase (apparently I'm a fine filter person!).
