This filter is for the Aeropress Original. This filter does NOT fit the Aeropress XL.

Microfilter Design: The AeroPress uses a thin, circular paper microfilter, which is fine enough to catch even the smallest coffee grounds. This prevents any coffee sediment from entering the cup, resulting in a remarkably clean and smooth brew with no gritty texture.

Enhanced Flavor Extraction: The filter allows for a slightly higher pressure during brewing (compared to traditional pour-over methods), similar to espresso machines. This pressure enables a more efficient extraction of coffee oils and flavors without letting bitterness seep in.

Environmentally Friendly: Each paper filter is small and biodegradable, meaning it creates minimal waste. If opting for a reusable metal filter, waste is even further minimized, and many AeroPress fans choose to compost the used paper filters, making it a great choice for sustainability-conscious coffee drinkers.

The AeroPress filter is small yet mighty, balancing high-quality flavor extraction with ease and minimal waste for a remarkably enjoyable coffee experience.
