Lo uso con el filtro de papel y parece que es una mejor manera de hacer un cafÃ© con crema. Obviamente, no es un espresso, pero es lo mejor que se puede hacer sin una mÃ¡quina de cafÃ©.

A must have for your Aeropress to not drip. I cannot imagine why this is not included in the main package

This should be packaged with the AeroPress
While it is a little pricy, it works as intended. The seal is great and there will be no leakage while you are stirring your grounds like with the original one that comes with the AeroPress system. It fits as intended but this one is NOT for the XL. The build quality is satisfactory and I’m certain this could be 3D printed. It is easy to use but you will have to apply a little more pressure when pressing, but be sure not to apply too much pressure. At the end of your press, it will make this pop and suction type noise if it is directly over your coffee mug. I use the AeroPress Carafe with this and that noise goes away.

No need to invert anymore, makes Espresso-like coffee and foam.
This review is specifically for the Aeropress flow control Filter cap.The biggest caveat is that this does not come with a metal filter like the Fellow Prismo does. Had I known that, I might have considered the third party product instead, given how competitive the prices are for what you get. However, I have heard of third party metal filters warping the aeropress in order to use it properly. I assume you get the peace of mind that this will not warp your product, by itself of when used with Aerobie’s own metal filter.Build quality feels reasonable, although it can flex if you squeeze it right. It has a nice grippy texture along the edge that makes it easy to unscrew, and plenty of surface area to grip it for installing and removing it. Compared to the filter cap that comes with the Aeropress, it’s much easier to install and remove. I don’t have any trouble gripping it even when the cap is wet, although it is much taller and wont fit inside the Aeropress Go’s case.I tested it with an off-the-shelf dark roast coffee, finely ground in my cheapo 40 dollar cuisinart grinder, and just enough 200 degree water to make the grounds stir-able, steeped for one minute and pressed with reasonable effort. It produced a nice concentrated espresso-like drink with a significantly larger layer of foam compared to similar efforts with the stock cap. The flavor seemed different too, and in a way that I liked. I understand the aeropress and similar manuals cannot produce a true espresso, but it can make a nice substitute in my opinion.Ive been brewing with this cap regularly in my Aeropress go, sometimes for espresso-like concentrates, but often larger servings as well. I typically prefer the “inverted method” (even though it doesn’t affect the coffee, its just the process I like), but this cap generally stops water from leaking out early. I can use the Aeropress as intended (reducing spills, water burns, or wasted coffee), and squeeze more water into the chamber since I’m not worrying about keeping the plunger well-seated for a flip.UPDATE: Had some leaking issues with the cap and figured it was just user error or something. I recently found out Aerobie revised the design with a rubber gasket over this issue, and they sent me the revised model at no charge when I told them I was having leaking issues. It’s still not perfect, though the revised version works MUCH better. Having used the flow control cap for a year and Aeropress coffeemakers for much longer, this is easily the best accessory for the product. I just wish the price was competitive with the Fellow Prismo kit.

Fast delivery. Tight fit, works great.
I like the way it holds the water in with the coffee grounds until I press it out. It makes a great cup of coffee.

huge improvement but still leaks
The normal filter holder is useless having to do the whole upside-down thing – dumb. The Fellow version of this works better and never leaks. This one can leak if you leave the coffee to sit. Otherwise this with a metal (and paper) works great. The paper filter takes out the silt that can make the coffee bitter.

Great improvement over original
So glad a friend told me about the upgraded filter cap. This is a huge improvement. No more having coffee shoot out from the sides or coming out around the edges and running down the mug. This works perfect every time and without a mess.I use it with the paper filters.

Works great, makes great coffee
This cap greatly improves using the Aeropress Go. I wish they had one for the XL. I used to have the coffee begin to flow through as soon as the filter was wet. Now the coffee will stay in the Aero Press until I push the plunger. Also, the plunger moves down more easily, without ever leaking out the sides near the bottom. I highly recommend this upgrade, and it should be packaged with all new Aeropress coffee makers.

Produto de qualidade. Mas para ser sincero INÃTIL… NÃ£o vale o investimento pÃµes nÃ£o acrescenta nada ao resultado do cafÃ©, mesmo porque a Aeropress Ã© a melhor cafeteira para viagem, nÃ£o necessita de mais nada. TambÃ©m me arrependi de investir no filtro permanente (metal) outro dinheiro desperdiÃ§ado, o filtro de papel faz o que Ã© necessÃ¡rio.
