AeroPressFlow Control Filter Cap, No Drip Filter Cap for AeroPress Portable Coffee Press, Specialty Coffee Maker, Black

I take my Aeropress to work and used to use the inverted method, so this is ideal for me. No more worrying if someone will knock it over in the communal kitchen, I can just leave it on the mug to brew. I can't really taste a difference between the usual cap and this using a paper filter, but it's worth it for the convenience alone. Hurry up and make one for the Aeropress XL.As someone else mentioned, it has an interesting flatulence sound as you push out the air at the end of the brew, a bit embarrassing in the aforementioned communal kitchen.Cleaning isn't as easy, you don't get the satisfying coffee puck at the end, and the paper gets stuck in the cap. Make sure you don't lose the rubber seal when you're knocking out the paper.Also, a bit pricy. I paid about as much for this as I did the whole Aeropress 5 years ago, still worth it for the amount I use it though.

I was a bit sceptical at first about the difference. This simple attachment can make to my morning coffee. However, I have to report that it improves the quality of the coffee significantly. I do think that the aero press is one of the best ways of making a very good cup of coffee quickly every day I have looked at expensive machines for making an espresso and have found that the quality of the drink isn’t as good as the results from the aero press. No doubt if I spent over £1000 I could get a really good cup of coffee but the aero press does it for me and this attachment has made a significant upgrade.

The product is great and not only does it improve the flavour of the coffee but also prevents leaking / dripping during the preparation phase. It is expensive though for something so basic, I have three AeroPress devices, home, work and travel and if I were to want one of these for each it soon adds up.

I think this is entirely fab. It solves the drip through problem so you now don't need to invert (which was always a silly idea), occasionally adds a nice bit of foam (with a paper filter), makes it a little easier to work with finer grinds, and gives you the flexibility and control to work through different recipes and refine your process.Personally I prefer using a paper filter on its own.It fits fine -- I think a lot of concern about leakage in use actually comes from the practicality of the deeper cap. It does seem expensive but to my mind it is paying off.After a few hundred coffees, here are things you need to know:If you are used to filling a mug to the brim with the standard cap, you will get a lot less in that same mug without leaking, because this cap sits deeper. Even if you give it just enough room, the spray from the nozzle will force some leaks through.You do need to keep the nozzle clean. The smallest amount of coffee solids will hold the nozzle open and you'll get a drip (or it might even squirt some coffee through if you knock it). So if you see a small indentation (or worse a tear) in your paper filter, that is a sign you need to clean the nozzle.It's easy to clean the nozzle: once you've rinsed off the cap and the lid, put the plunger back in, put some water in the Aeropress chamber, put the cap on, press the water through the nozzle, then pull the plunger back a little before removing the cap. That will push water through the nozzle and then pull it closed, and it'll work beautifully the next time. I do this about every three times I rinse, it's quick and easy.

I have used an Aeropress for the past year and have been really pleased with it. It has saved time and money queueing at Costa Coffee for a mid-morning caffeine fix, whilst allowing me to enjoy a superior coffee from my choice of freshly-ground coffee beans.My only problem was that when I added hot water to the grounds, a variable amount would go straight through to my cup before having a chance to brew. This flow control filter cap solved this problem by ensuring that the water stays put until the brewing process has been completed. I used the flow control filter cap with my standard paper filters. The quality of coffee is definitely improved by using this cap. It has a better crema and a smoother taste.The filter cap is easy to grip, making it simple to twist on and off. The filter paper sometimes stays in the flow control filter cap, something that didn’t happen as often with the standard cap. However, it is easy to remove the paper and rinse out the cap so it is ready for its next brew.

Over rated and over priced. I never had an isuse with a few drips of coffee as I would pull a vacumn to hold the coffee to brew for 3 mns. Yes, this stops the drips but its not really worth the price for a piece of plastic. It also doesnt fit in my kit. I plan to keep with the original method. For me, if a metal filter was included I woudl say it may be a worthwhile purchase. This is what the competion offer and would sem to be the better deal of the two.

I'm so pleased I bought this.I no longer need to do the risky flippy method that's caused all sorts of messes and minor injuries to avoid the weak drips that happen with the normal Aeropress method.I also no longer need to even get a mug to start the brew, just pot it down on the counter and start making it, not a drop gets spilt.I use it for a full "4" almost-a-full-mug brew with 15-16g of light roast coffee, but have also used it to create a faux espresso as I assume was intended. I didn't get any crema at all, but the taste was good following a 20g coffee 50g water recipe with 30s agitated brewing followed by a fast press all the way through the grounds.Note: It makes some interesting "flatulent" noises both at the beginning of the brew and the end, as the valve pushes air through, but who doesn't like a fart noise? My wife's review is that it's better than the sound of my grinder anyway!
