Paper filters for Aeropress.

350 filters in each pack.

When it comes to brewing coffee with an Aeropress, there are two main filter options available: paper filters and metal disc filters. Both options have their pros and cons, and choosing the right filter can make a big difference in the taste and texture of your coffee.

Paper filters are the more traditional option for Aeropress brewing. They are made from thin, disposable sheets of paper that are designed to fit into the Aeropress filter cap. The purpose of the paper filter is to remove any sediment or fines from the coffee, resulting in a clean and crisp cup. Paper filters are also very easy to use and require minimal clean up, as they can simply be disposed of after use.

On the other hand, metal disc filters are a newer option for Aeropress brewing. They are made from thin, perforated metal discs that are designed to fit into the Aeropress filter cap. Unlike paper filters, metal disc filters are reusable and can last for years with proper care. They also allow more of the coffee's natural oils and flavours to pass through, resulting in a richer and more complex cup of coffee.

So, which filter option is right for you? The answer ultimately depends on your personal preferences and brewing style.

If you prefer a clean and crisp cup of coffee, then paper filters may be the way to go. Paper filters are particularly well-suited for brewing lighter roasts, as they can help to balance out any sour or bitter flavours that might be present.

On the other hand, if you prefer a richer and more complex cup of coffee, then metal disc filters may be more your style. Metal disc filters are particularly well-suited for brewing darker roasts, as they can help to highlight the coffee's natural sweetness and body.

It's also worth noting that metal disc filters require a slightly different brewing technique than paper filters. With metal disc filters, you'll want to use a coarser grind and a longer brew time to ensure that the coffee doesn't become over-extracted or bitter. You may also need to experiment with different brewing techniques to find the one that works best for you.

In terms of clean up, paper filters are definitely the easier option. With paper filters, all you need to do is dispose of the used filter and give the Aeropress a quick rinse. With metal disc filters, you'll need to remove the filter, rinse it off, and dry it before storing it for next time.

 Both paper filters and metal disc filters have their pros and cons, and the right choice depends on your personal preferences and brewing style. If you're new to Aeropress brewing, it may be worth trying both options to see which one you prefer. Ultimately, the key to great coffee is finding the right combination of beans, water, and brewing method, so don't be afraid to experiment and try new things!
