AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap - Standard

Should Become Standard Equipment

Having used both the original filter cap and a "pressure" cap from a competing company over several years, I can say with no doubts that the Aeropress Flow Control Cap comes out miles ahead of either of those options. I feel as though it should really be a (discounted) upgrade option for every basic Aeropress package, if not standard equipment! You get the expected ease of workflow but, for those preferring "espresso-adjacent" brews, you get concentrated, crema-topped shots using a fraction of the physical effort that the competitor's pressure cap requires. You get excellent, varied results with either the metal or the paper filter discs and since I'm turning more to paper filtration for health reasons, relying on the competitor's metal filter disc is less attractive to me. The Flow Control does fit very tightly on my 11-year-old Aeropress which is awesome for brewing pressure but follow the instructions, just gently fit it into place, and expect to take a few extra seconds removing it for cleaning up after each shot.

Brilliant compliment for the Aeropress and makes Fab Coffee ☕️

As described. Not sure why it should be bought separately
