AeroPressStainless Steel Reusable Filter - Metal Coffee Filter for AeroPress Original & AeroPress Go Coffee Makers, 1 Pack, 1 Filter, Gray

Looks and works as it should. Easy to clean

Quite simply, item does not work as required. Unlike paper filters, it allows water to run straight through into the cup as soon as it is poured into the Aeropress tank. No slow filtering takes place, and if you are not aware it has happened, your cup can overflow. Don't waste your money.

Great idea, a reusable filter. Brought as part of a gift so they will see which is best, this filter or the paper ones. But the idea is good.

It delivers great coffee but can be a bit awkward to clean fully.

I’m now a convert from paper filters, but once use forever, just remember not to chuck it in the food waste with the old coffee grounds

Does the job as far as removing the need for single-use paper filters goes, but brings with it other issues. Normally when using the Aeropress device, you pop a filter in, lob the ground coffee on top then pour in boiling water. The paper filter and coffee is sufficient to stop the water draining straight through. However, this metal filter, even though fairly fine, is still a lot more open than a paper filter so as soon as you pour the water in, it starts draining through very quickly.The only "official" way to stop this happening is to very quickly insert the plunger, then pull it up a smidge so as to stop the flow. This sort-of works, but you have to hurry as it only takes a few seconds for the water to drain through.The "unofficial" (and definitely not recommended by Aeropress) solution is to assemble the thing upside down - ie stand the inverted plunger on the table, pop the body of the Aeropress device down onto it, put the coffee and hot water in, then assemble the filter and end cap on top of it before deftly turning the whole assembly right-side up while holding your coffee mug over the filter end to catch the run-off. The possibilities for spillage and/or scalding yourself are endless.While it does what it is supposed to do, I think this metal filter is very expensive and quite possibly a bit risky to use. I can't really recommend it.

No longer do I need to prize apart the paper filters or remember to order more. Now a quick rinse and I’m all set for another cup, not to mention it’s better for the planet

First time I used this in my aeropress, boiling water poured out everywhere. I thought maybe I'd not screwed the base on properly, so fixed it and tried again. Next try all the water when straight into the cup like a tap, so basically pretty much bypassed the coffee altogether - no idea. On a 3rd attempt, had the same result as the first try. My guess is some of these are defective, so it is luck of the draw what you receive as some reviews praise them, some are terrible like my experience. Sent it back and have reverted back to the easy and reliable paper filters.
