Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of AeroPress Micro-Filters, Package of 350

Customer Review: Inexpensive, and work well
Summary: 5 Stars

These are the correct replacement filters for the AeroPress coffee maker, which I use at least once a day. They work exactly as advertised.

The manufacturer claims I can wash and reuse the filters, but I don't. They go away with the coffee grounds.

Thanks to the AeroPress people for not overcharging for the filters (and even at $0.01 each, I'm sure they make a little profit). They profit, they sell more coffee makers, I get a good product at a fair price... exactly how capitalism is supposed to work. :)

Customer Review: It works ok but you can get by with a filter
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought the Aerobie press after buying a Bialetti Mokka. What I found was that for a three cup (6oz) of coffee, with the Bialetti espresso maker you use one scoop which is three teaspoons of coffee. With the Aerobie, you use one scoop or 9 teaspoons for 6oz and you are lucky if you get the 6oz. I know its supposed to behighly rated, (thats why I bought it) but it uses tons of coffee. Better buy cheap coffee! Don't buy Illy... Even Bustello and you will be burning up cans of coffee like no tomorrow.

The way it works is you put a little filter into the syringe, add coffee, add hot water. Then it begins acting as a filter with the liquid coffee falling through the filter. You finish it off by pressing the rest of the water through the filter... With quite a push I might add. You are left with a huge puck of coffee in the syringe that you dipose of. Its pretty easy to use but I am finding instead I just choose an easier way.

What I found was that I could get a one cup Melitta plastic funnel with filters at Kroger's for $3.00. It uses Melitta #2 filters. I can then just put the coffee into the filter (just like the aerobie)... add hot water (just like the aerobie) and stir (just like the aerobie)... the only difference is that with the Melitta filter, you don't have a plunger to force all of the coffee through a smaller filter surface area.

I am able to get coffee of just as good quality with the Melitta and its only one plastic part. (the aerobie has a bunch of parts to store somewhere) What makes the Aerobie coffee taste so good is you use so much coffee to so little water. You could do that with the Melitta too. The Melitta is so cheap, I bought one for the office too! heck, three bucks....

So... the Aerobie works, but I don't really need it. It uses three times as much coffee as a stovetop espresso maker, and it uses a filter. So I mostly use the stovetop espresso maker or the Melitta Filter.

Customer Review: LOVE THE AEROPRESS coffee maker!

Customer Review: Long lasting and great quality
Summary: 5 Stars

To be honest, I have not gotten anywhere near opening my filters. The AeroPress comes with filters, and they last a crazy long time. I rinse and reuse the filters, and have used one for several weeks now. At this rate, I will probably be dead before I need the filters.
These are the same as come with the AeroPress, and they are high quality. The thickness means that the final coffee is very grit free and the filter is strong enough to be reused.
I love the product.
