Unfortunately, these filters will not work in the AeroPress. AeroPress filters are small disks, a bit smaller than the diameter of the average coffee mug. They are made from tough microfiber, which makes them durable while preventing grit from falling into your coffee. Every AeroPress comes complete with filters. If you are a real coffee fanatic, fear not. Additional filters are easy to purchase from hundreds of online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
If you are concerned about the environmental impact of your coffee waste, the AeroPress is an excellent choice. AeroPress filters are fully biodegradable, which means they will quickly breakdown over time. You can also compost your AeroPress filters along the spent coffee grounds. If you go this route, you can drink great coffee all year round and produce almost no excess waste. The filter is just one advantage of the AeroPress.
Humans have been brewing coffee for thousands of years. It makes sense to be skeptical of a new product that makes big promises when it comes to ease and quality. This brewing method uses a heating element and gravity. Once the water reaches temperature, it is pumped up and onto the grounds.
As the water drips through, it absorbs flavor from the grounds. Brewing is complete when all the water has flowed through the grounds and into the carafe. The drip method allows you to brew vast quantities of coffee at one time, making it ideal for large gatherings.
However, most drip machines do not allow you to control the temperature of your water, which means your coffee may lack the proper flavor. Additionally, the long brewing time means more acidic coffee. The AeroPress has no heating element, so you need a separate device—a stove or kettle—to heat your water to the proper temperature of 80 degrees Celsius. Depending on the style you choose, an AeroPress can make cups of coffee at one time, making it perfect for single people and couples.
This method also requires an external heat source for proper brewing. Like the drip method, the French press also requires a longer steeping time around five minutes , which results in more acidic coffee. The primary disadvantage of the French press is the filter, which is permeable enough to allow grit to pass through.
Not so with the AeroPress. The microfiber filter does not allow even the smallest particles into your morning joe. Once in the morning and once in the evening.
It is rinsed and reversed for the second pour. Then it is discarded. I've seen comments on coffeegeeks that range in the 3 to 4 uses. Should I be mining the filter like satfrat? How many times are you using your filters for the AeroPress? Tyson Volunteer Posts: Audio - It's all a big fake. But then I only drink 1 cup per day. Switch to tea in the evenings.
Philistine Full Member Posts: » Gallery. Well, I'm on the same side of the equation as Robin in that it's embarrassing how long the filters will last. I normally throw them out after 2 weeks because of boredom not filter failure. On the coffegeek site the AeroPress inventor was supportive of long term filter reuse. So my filters get thrown out after about 20 brews but could go on much longer. I use 2 filters and alternate so 1 always gets the time to completely dry out.
Aeropress Espresso I like to call it Aeropresso is essentially a very concentrated black coffee. You can see the full Aeropress Espresso recipe here. Just when you thought you had seen it all, a reusable metal filter arrives. The default paper filters are great, but stainless steel filters offer another dimension of flavor and body. Firstly, they allow a very small amount of microscopic grounds to enter your mug. These micro-grounds attach to the acid particles and tone them down a bit.
They also add a creamy smoothness to your coffee. Aside from boosting flavors, metal filters also make travel brewing easier. You just rinse them carefully and pack them up - no paper waste created. See other benefits to using stainless steel Aeropress filters here. The Aeropress is an amazing coffee brewer - and I hope these things have made it even more amazing in your eyes. But remember, great coffee always starts with great beans.
