At first I would like to disagree with people who say that the filter does not fit once. First, there is a great instructional videos by the manufacturer, which the "problem" - which is actually none - addressed very well. Second, you have to clearly look at the target group which is the filter purchase. Normally, these will be the people who like me scalded by the first 300+ filters and now before the election are to be either create a new set of filter paper or a metal filter. Through these several Brühvorgänge one has to screw enough play in the thread to the filter without any problems or power expenses with the end cap on the Aero Press, my thread approaches overlap only minimally less than they did with the paper filters, so there is absolutely no reason to worry! However, anyone who operates a new AeroPress with the filter, should refer to the manufacturer videos, go to this case before despair and return the filter which.
To really benefit: I broth with the upside-down method (Pömpel pure Aeropress upside down, filling, screw, and then turning inside on the mug). I think this is also equal to the largest handling advantage over paper filters. From time to time it's happened that I've fixed the paper filter with a slight bend by screwing or by jerky eversion the filter is minimal slip, thus coffee grounds has come with the cup. That has become impossible by the rigid metal ring around the metal mesh quasi - clear advantage! Cleaning is super easy, rinsing, upending into the thread of the Aero Press to dry and you're done!
To taste: I must honestly admit that my coffee with the S-filter tastes better, I changed with my last paper filters back and forth to make me a picture, you can see after the metal filter even a light film of oil on the coffee one has not the paper filters. This point is of course a matter of taste, will adversely affect the S-filter the taste but certainly not.
I would he should buy the filter in any case once again give up the ghost, about the sustainability of the filter selection must each ultimately decide for themselves. Would be great if you from the outset that this would filter to avoid further plastic in the form of the paper filter holder. The S-filter itself comes in a very small cardboard packaging that is only slightly larger than the filter itself and came to a letter - at packing so there from environmental point of view nothing to complain about!
