CremaCraft Medium-Fine Permanent Stainless Steel Coffee Filter for Aeropress coffee and espresso maker

I've been using this medium-fine filter with my aeropress for over a month and can't imagine going back to the paper filters. Morning coffee is with a french press, afternoon coffee in my office is hand-ground beans with the aeropress. There haven't been any issues with fine grounds passing through the metal filter - the coffee has a much better mouth-feel (beer term I hope works well for coffee) than it did with paper filters. Cleaning the filter is easy too.I did get this product for free, and I would definitely go back and pay full price for it. After all, it's pennies a cup for better tasting coffee.

Purchased this because the shipping time for coffee filters was going to be way longer than what I have left.The actual filter itself does what it is supposed too. It works properly however I noticed the flavor isn't as good of quality vs traditional filters.It is easy to clean however now I have an extra chore to do every day. It is also a nightmare to get out. Normally I just pop it in the trash because it is hot and I don't want it sitting in my aroe press as the oils deteriorate it. Now I have to wiat till its cooled and its kind of a struggle getting it out. You have to rinse it off which is bad for drains since grounds don’t break down in water or wipe it with a paper towel which is more wasteful than using the tiny filter.The quality is there and it does what it is described to do. However, as a consumer and use for an aero press for six+ years now, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.It is more hassle than it is worth and doesn't produce the same flavor, it’s okay but not as good as it should taste.
