Which filter for AeroPress?
AeroPress Paper and Natural Paper Micro Filters. These paper filters are a great starting point for anyone wanting to try an AeroPress. Make a grit-free cup, with smooth flavor. The white and the natural paper filters perform the same. Maybe an unpopular opinion in this community, but I regret buying this thing. I purchased the AeroPress Premium because I wanted my coffee filtered through a paper filter and no plastics involved. The whole thing feels like a gimmick and I paid a ridiculous amount of money ($200) for a mediocre coffee maker.If you want to get more of the flowery flavours out of your light-roast coffee beans I recommend taking 2 or even 3 of the AeroPress filter papers.
Are metal AeroPress filters worth it?
Our metal filter is perfect for use with your AeroPress Original, AeroPress Clear, or AeroPress Go. Like our paper micro-filters, it keeps grit out of your cup, but unlike our paper micro-filters, it allows oils to pass through, making for a somewhat fuller-bodied cup of coffee. Some people reuse AeroPress filters dozens of times. When finished with a pressing, peel off the filter from the puck of coffee, rinse it, and place it in the filter cap to dry in position for use with the next pressing.Because it is made of stainless steel, the AeroPress reusable metal filter is not compostable. However, it is infinitely reusable, so you can make as many cups of coffee as you like with it. Just wash and reuse for cup after cup of rich, full-bodied coffee!
What is the healthiest coffee filter?
Unbleached paper filters are a safe, affordable go-to for everyday brewing. Free from chlorine-based bleaching agents, they trap grounds and cholesterol-linked compounds called diterpenes without compromising flavor. Any coffee maker using a paper filter (such as an AeroPress coffee maker) removes virtually all of the cafestol and kahweol from the brew. We had this verified by an independent test lab for coffee brewed by AeroPress coffee makers made using AeroPress paper micro-filters.Overview. Paper filters remove oily components called diterpenes (like cafestol and kahweol). Metal, nylon or porcelain mesh filters do not remove these components.
