FellowPrismo Attachment for AeroPress Coffee Maker - Enhance Your Manual Coffee Maker to Brew Espresso-Style and No-Drip Immersion Coffees, Reusable Metal Filter

So far so good. Definitely feels a bit overpriced and I have encountered push-back due to grinding my beans too fine (resulting in a bit of a mess but thankfully no burns.) I like to add a paper filter on top before I screw on the chamber to further reduce grime. Don't go into this expecting espresso-like results but a simpler and easier-to-manage brewing experience. Not having to use the invert method to get maximize saturation makes it worth it alone. Hoping it holds up with time.

I've used the inverted method for my Aeropress for over 10 years (but 2 times over that decade I did manage to tip the Aeropress over on the counter and make a mess.) This works well so that coffee doesn't drip through the press before you get the plunger in. The metal filter provided seems a finer mesh (leaves less fines in the cup) than the official Aeropress metal filter. The device fits the Aeropress snugly and definitely increases the ease of use. The official Aeropress metal filter offers much less resistance to the plunger than using a paper filter, and this is offers just a bit more resistance than the official metal filter. I do like the silicone collar around the metal filter, so it stays in place rather than ending up on top of the puck when you clean the Aeropress. My main objection to this is the cost, at $15 it would be an easy recommendation -- but honestly this should be a default included with the Aeropress, and perhaps it will be someday. For now, it's a very good product.

Fits perfectly, great upgrade to my Aero Press. Honestly it's shocking how bad the original Aero Press bottom fits -- half the time it just twists off because it's not thick enough (if that makes sense). This Fellow version screws on so that its tabs align exactly when it's screwed on snug. Very high quality manufacturing. Also, despite having just one exit hole, it actually expresses coffee into my mug much faster and more evenly than the stock bottom. I highly recommend this. I don't know why the AP comes with such a terrible bottom part, but the Fellow filter turns the AP from a frustration to a joy to use.

Way less smooth, more acidic and darker coffee than the default Aeropress attachmentCross being drip coffee and expresso. More on the formerMuch easier to press down.More difficult clean up. Can’t press out to dispose. Need to dig out used coffee grounds from the metal mesh filter, then take out the filter itself. Can get messy if you’re in a rushLess accidents. No inversion method needed to get consistent tasteNo leakage due to the no drip seal and it being pressure activatedGot his over the official Aeropress Flow Control filter cap since it didn’t include a metal filter

The Fellow Prismo has been a useful upgrade to my AeroPress setup and is a part of my daily coffee routing. Right out of the box, it feels well-built and thoughtfully designed.One thing I really like is the fact that you don’t need to invert your AeroPress when using the Prismo. Everyone with an AeroPress needs to try the inverted method at least once. And if you're familiar with this method and you've had an accient, then you'll understand why the Prismo is a life saver.AeroPress has their own version of this they call the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap. I have never tried it but I'm sure it works similarly.

I purchased the Prismo filter with attachment to use with my AeroPress, to make sure that the coffee stays put once I pour hot water in/stir, until I’m ready to extract using the plunger attachment. I think it goes without saying that owning an AeroPress means I’d like the best tasting coffee I can make at home, and the Prismo attachment helps elevate the AeroPress.With the attachment that came with the AeroPress, a portion of the coffee would end up in the cup right away since it had multiple holes at the bottom (so, after pouring water to line 4, the coffee would reach around line 3 before I’d use the plunger attachment to extract.) It still tasted good, but with a coffee press, you’d think the coffee should have more time to brew beforehand. I originally purchased the alternate AeroPress attachment that has the same function as the Prismo, minus the stainless steel filter, and even after washing, putting it on the top rack of the dishwasher, and even submerging it in warm water with baking soda for at least an hour each time, and then using the paper filter, I’d end up with a chemical perfume taste that leached into the coffee from the plastic, making me unable to drink anything past a sip. After making a few cups of coffee to try to get the scent to dissipate, I realized I’d have to return it (maybe I received a defective product.)Anyhow, I decided to purchase the Prismo attachment plus metal filter instead, based on reviews, and it does not disappoint. I have used it with just the metal filter and it works fine, but my preferred way is to put the metal filter first, then a paper filter on top of it, just to help make clean up easier. It works great either way, and allows for a very rich, flavorful cup of coffee. I use water heated to 194 degrees on a temperature controlled electric kettle—if you don’t have one, I’d recommend using water that hasn’t quite reached boiling point, or boiling water and allowing it to sit for a few minutes first. This way, coffee ends up with a smoother flavor. If you’re a coffee enthusiast, looking for a way to make even AeroPress coffee taste better than it already does, this is for you!
