XL Stainless Steel Reusable Filter, AeroPress Metal Filter, Premium 316 Stainless Steel Filter for AeroPress XL Coffee Maker, Washable, Earth-Friendly, 1 Pack, 1 Filter

This is the second mesh filter I have purchased for the XL Aeropress, The first lasted for a while but its design let it down, the double mesh was held in a ring that over time detached from it and coffee grounds got caught in-between the mesh, This new one is made as a one piece so will have no similar problems. The taste I think is better than the paper filters because it allows the oil of the coffee to come out giving a richer flavor, super easy to clean and looks like its built to last { unlike the other one } bonus that its endorsed by Aeropress and one thing they know is how to get a decent cup of fresh tasting coffee easily. The price was in infact cheaper than the other one, also brought on this site, so win win all around

Great compared to the paper filters

Really good filter. Thin and easy to maintain in clean condition (in comparison to mesh filters). Pricey but delivers superior quality

Fine, does it's job well, easy to clean

The hot water just poured through it. There was nothing left behind to press. I've had to use it with a paper filter.

I'm not a big coffee drinker and so I wanted to get something very portable that wasn't a single purpose bulky appliance. Aeropress was the perfect solution. It originally comes with 100 circular paper coffee filters and when you pour your coffee, a lot of pressure was needed to push and strain the coffee through. These metal mesh permanent filters don't need any pushing. Just lightly tap the sides and the coffee just flows through without any grains making it pass the filter. Very fast and efficient. Also, fast and easy to clean. And also, no need to ever buy paper filters.

Werkt even goed als de papieren filters. Misschien duur in aankoop maar je spaart wel een hoop filters en dus bomen uit.

Works perfectly, a little more fines than a paper filter but the reusability is hard to beat. Can go into the dishwasher and is feirly durable after hundreds of uses

Used for a few months now, great solution for reusable filter. Great for camping or coffee setup at home.

As soon as you start pouring the water in it leaks right through and doesn't hold any coffee. I had brown water. The entire point of the Aeropress is to have the coffee stay in the tube until you push the plunger allowing it to brew. This will not hold any water so it's all leaking out before you can get the plunger on. Then cleanup is so much worse, you need to figure out how to get the filter out of the hot grounds before throwing them away and then scrub it to get any grounds out of the holes. Maybe if you have a flow control cap this would work but you can't get a flow control for the XL.
