Reusable Filter Set by Slimm Filter - 3 Piece, Stainless Steel Metal - Mesh, Fine, Ultra-Fine Metal Filter For AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker - Brew Barista-Grade Coffee At Home

These awesome reusable filters take my Aeropress to the next level with convenience and portability, and most importantly, they eliminate the need entirely for purchasing single-use filters.

The mesh filter is thick I can't close my aeropress properly.

I picked these up for my AeroPress, and they work fantastic. The stainless steel filters feel sturdy and well-made, and they fit perfectly without any fuss. It’s a nice upgrade from paper filters, especially if you’re trying to cut down on waste or just want a slightly fuller-bodied cup. One thing to keep in mind is that grind size really matters. You’ll want to dial it in to whatever works best for your taste and brewing style. Once you get that sorted, the results are great. I’ve even doubled up on two of the filters at the same time for extra filtration, and that gives me a cleaner cup while still keeping more of those flavorful oils. Overall, these have been a great addition to my coffee routine. If you use an AeroPress and like experimenting with your brew, these filters give you a lot of flexibility and solid performance.

I am making this comment because I saw some distressing comments by other users who clearly are not thinking through when purchasing this product: 1. Cleaning - yes you have to fish it out before you throw away the grounds. That isn't a feature and shouldn't be treated as one. If you want the convenience of just pucking out the grounds, you clearly haven't thought this through. 2. Cleaning pt 2 - yes you have to clean it with water and soap. Is it environmentally cleaner? I'm no environmentalist but paper also uses water during its process. Is that more water per paper filter than this metal filter? I don't know but it's ignorant to say that pouring much less than a quart of water to clean a metal filter is definitely "cleaner" than purchasing a pack of paper filters every couple of months. Also, I might add, the pack contributes to carbon emissions for shipping and promotes throw-away culture. Did the grounds stick on the filter? Do you think that draining a couple of grams of organic sediment down the drain is equivalent to cutting down forests for your perfect cup of coffee? or the chemical treatment in the paper mills vs the sewage treatment plant that cleans the water regardless of what's in it? Suck it up and take the literal 10 seconds to clean a filter. 3. Flavor/sediments - yes. It has sediments because it allows less filtration. What did you expect?? Don't rate this product because you didn't have the 2 seconds to recognize that this is a feature rather than a bug. I like to use both paper and metal because it gives me flexibility. French press? Metal fine filter. Drip? Double paper. Espresso-lite? Metal super fine filter. You ever tried thinking outside your narrow scope of the world and exploring its endless possibilities? These metal filters should help you escape your own ignorant dungeon. 4. Methodology - yes if you use the standard Aeropress method, then the water will definitely run through. Try using the inverted method if you're capable. Otherwise, stick with paper. If that doesn't work try different grind sizes (if too much is going through, you need a smaller grind size, too little water means you need a larger grind size since the compactness reduces water flow). Finally, my actual review: My roommate accidentally tossed out my last metal filter so I had to purchase more. This product comes with not only three filters but three different ones. Honestly, I should have bought these first and saved the money. This product is great and I don't see any problems with it. I use these at least once or twice a week for a couple of months now. I plan to use these in the next couple of years-decades. The packaging is quite lovely but it doesn't tell you how each filter defines the brew's taste. There are legitimate concerns that these filters may break down in the future but I haven't encountered these yet. TLDR: buy these and ignore those who also believe that paper straws will save the earth. Review the product, not the idea of it

I can’t speak on the longevity of this product since I just used it for the first time, but it works great, the coffee tastes good, and there were no coffee sediments that passed through. Once you understand how to use it, it is easy. Another update: I’m disappointed at how quickly the coffee starts dripping downwards before you get to plunge it - which makes for a weaker cup of coffee. With the paper filters, none of the coffee escapes and you plunge all of the coffee/water to help the water absorb the coffee better. I’m going to see if the “ultra fine” filter is better at keeping the liquid contained as I’ve been using the mesh one. Again, if there were instructions, I would have realized this before having to go back on Amazon and figure this out reading the reviews. Having 3 filters that don’t work as great kind of defeats the purpose of having 3. I like the idea of having >1 but would prefer just one that’s actually good quality. My only critique is that mine did not come with instructions. I figured it out by going on YouTube, but I don’t think I should have to do that, and not everyone is going to. This product would probably get more positive reviews if people were guided properly on how to use it. Perhaps someone has a better way of using this, but I’m just sharing a video to show what worked for me. UPDATE: I was on auto pilot and started using the same inverted method that works only with the paper filters. The first time I made this mistake I was able to poor the not-yet filtered coffee and water into a mug and start the process all over. Well, this morning (I was not fully awake - hadn’t had my coffee yet!) and made the same mistake so to start all over I started plunging the coffee - pushing down on the filter side of the brewer with the plunger underneath - well I didn’t think about how this would cause all the coffee to come out and it exploded and got all over the kitchen, my clothes, and my hand is burned from hot coffee spilling on it. Clearly this was my mistake, but I’m still really disappointed that there are no instructions on what to do and not to do, and warning signs. This is a huge liability for the product that made it. Again, customers need guidance, especially when using something involving hot water.
