This cap greatly improves using the Aeropress Go. I wish they had one for the XL. I used to have the coffee begin to flow through as soon as the filter was wet. Now the coffee will stay in the Aero Press until I push the plunger. Also, the plunger moves down more easily, without ever leaking out the sides near the bottom. I highly recommend this upgrade, and it should be packaged with all new Aeropress coffee makers.

This is a game changer for AeroPress brewing. No mess, no need for the "inverted" method. This is great for when I'm in a hurry and want the least amount of mess possible.Another benefit is that it stops that first bit of coffee from dripping out straight away. You know, that extremely sour and under extracted coffee that can ruin the whole cup? This thing stops that completely.For the cleanest cup, use this in conjunction with 2 paper filters. The extra layer of paper will catch most of those bitter coffee oils.

I like the way it holds the water in with the coffee grounds until I press it out. It makes a great cup of coffee.

So glad a friend told me about the upgraded filter cap. This is a huge improvement. No more having coffee shoot out from the sides or coming out around the edges and running down the mug. This works perfect every time and without a mess.I use it with the paper filters.

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.

The normal filter holder is useless having to do the whole upside-down thing - dumb. The Fellow version of this works better and never leaks. This one can leak if you leave the coffee to sit. Otherwise this with a metal (and paper) works great. The paper filter takes out the silt that can make the coffee bitter.

I am a new Aeropress fan and loving this little gadget to keep the brew drip-free, a much safer approach than the inversion method with the original cap. With the flow control cap, the brews made were more flavorful and professional for sure ..So far I only tested the flow control with original Aeropress paper filter. Nice and easy pressurized push to get the finished coffee. No leak around the flow through cap during the push process. Filter paper fitted perfectly into cap and easy snug twist into the bottom. Easy cleanup to rinse and dry.I will try the Aeropress stainless steel filter soon for Expresso style brews. Expecting the reusable s/s filter will be letting more flavors and oil through which is something to look forward to :-)This flow through cap is a must for serious Aeropress brewers. I got a bundle deal with the flow through cap and s/s filter for $35 which is ok for genuine brand that are made in USA.

Düz yöntem ile demleme yaparken bardağa boşa akan sudan bu kapak ile kurtulmuş oluyorsunuz.Demlemek daha pratik oluyor.Ters (invert) yöntemide kullanımı fark ettirmiyor, kullanabilirsiniz.Bu kapak ile kahve kreması çıkaracağını sanmayın, bir kapak ile olsaydı koca koca bilmem kaç barlı espresso makineleri olmazdı :)

While it is a little pricy, it works as intended. The seal is great and there will be no leakage while you are stirring your grounds like with the original one that comes with the AeroPress system. It fits as intended but this one is NOT for the XL. The build quality is satisfactory and I'm certain this could be 3D printed. It is easy to use but you will have to apply a little more pressure when pressing, but be sure not to apply too much pressure. At the end of your press, it will make this pop and suction type noise if it is directly over your coffee mug. I use the AeroPress Carafe with this and that noise goes away.

Produto de qualidade. Mas para ser sincero INÚTIL... Não vale o investimento pões não acrescenta nada ao resultado do café, mesmo porque a Aeropress é a melhor cafeteira para viagem, não necessita de mais nada. Também me arrependi de investir no filtro permanente (metal) outro dinheiro desperdiçado, o filtro de papel faz o que é necessário.

通常の製品は大量の液ダレをしますが、このキャップに変えると全く液ダレしなくなります。1カ所からの抽出なので、エスプレッソ風に抽出した時はクレマが多少泡立ちます。

This cap is tiers better than the original. It allows longer coffee immersion times, almost no leakage, and better plunger control. The cap should come with the Aeropress or be part of a premium package. It’s an immediate upgrade and recommended purchase for frequent Aeropress users.Pros:* Little to no leakage; producing fuller and less astringent results.* The ability to immerse the grinds for longer without the use of the inverted method.* Plunger presses are easier and more controlled.Cons:* Requires slightly more cleaning time compared to the original cap.* Slight leaking can happen at the walls if the plunger is pressed too firmly. This can be avoided by using less force. There will not be a lot of leaking regardless.* Note: The competing Fellow Prismo cap will produce similar results with less leakage. However, it requires a special metal filter.Pro tip: This cap + 2 paper filters will produce an amazing cup of coffee!

This review is specifically for the Aeropress flow control Filter cap.The biggest caveat is that this does not come with a metal filter like the Fellow Prismo does. Had I known that, I might have considered the third party product instead, given how competitive the prices are for what you get. However, I have heard of third party metal filters warping the aeropress in order to use it properly. I assume you get the peace of mind that this will not warp your product, by itself of when used with Aerobie's own metal filter.Build quality feels reasonable, although it can flex if you squeeze it right. It has a nice grippy texture along the edge that makes it easy to unscrew, and plenty of surface area to grip it for installing and removing it. Compared to the filter cap that comes with the Aeropress, it's much easier to install and remove. I don't have any trouble gripping it even when the cap is wet, although it is much taller and wont fit inside the Aeropress Go's case.I tested it with an off-the-shelf dark roast coffee, finely ground in my cheapo 40 dollar cuisinart grinder, and just enough 200 degree water to make the grounds stir-able, steeped for one minute and pressed with reasonable effort. It produced a nice concentrated espresso-like drink with a significantly larger layer of foam compared to similar efforts with the stock cap. The flavor seemed different too, and in a way that I liked. I understand the aeropress and similar manuals cannot produce a true espresso, but it can make a nice substitute in my opinion.Ive been brewing with this cap regularly in my Aeropress go, sometimes for espresso-like concentrates, but often larger servings as well. I typically prefer the "inverted method" (even though it doesn't affect the coffee, its just the process I like), but this cap generally stops water from leaking out early. I can use the Aeropress as intended (reducing spills, water burns, or wasted coffee), and squeeze more water into the chamber since I'm not worrying about keeping the plunger well-seated for a flip.UPDATE: Had some leaking issues with the cap and figured it was just user error or something. I recently found out Aerobie revised the design with a rubber gasket over this issue, and they sent me the revised model at no charge when I told them I was having leaking issues. It's still not perfect, though the revised version works MUCH better. Having used the flow control cap for a year and Aeropress coffeemakers for much longer, this is easily the best accessory for the product. I just wish the price was competitive with the Fellow Prismo kit.
