AeroPress Standard Stainless Steel Reusable Filter

The Standard Stainless Steel Reusable Filter replaces AeroPress paper filters with an etched stainless mesh disc you can rinse and reuse indefinitely. For daily AeroPress brewers, it pays for itself in a few months and keeps a steady stream of paper out of the kitchen.

Why it works

• Lifetime use. One filter, no paper restocking, no warming the puck off a damp paper after every brew.
• Slightly heavier body in the cup. Stainless lets through more of the bean's natural oils than paper, which translates to a fuller, slightly heavier cup, closer to a French press finish.
• Drop-in fit. Same diameter as paper, sits inside the standard filter cap with no adapter.
• Dishwasher-safe. Rinse off the puck, into the dishwasher, ready for the next morning.

Setup and care notes

Rinse with hot water immediately after brewing to clear coffee oils. Soak in a coffee-equipment cleaner monthly if you brew daily. Stainless lasts indefinitely with that routine.

Who it's for, who it isn't

Right for daily AeroPress brewers who want to skip paper, or anyone who prefers the heavier body that mesh produces. Not the right pick if you specifically prefer the cleaner, brighter cup that paper filters give, in which case stick with the included paper.
