AeroPressFlow Control Filter Cap, No Drip Filter Cap for AeroPress Portable Coffee Press, Specialty Coffee Maker, Black

I'm really happy with this. It allows me to leave the coffee brewing as long as I like before I filter it.Pro tip, if the coffee is a bit leaky check the rubber gasket is in place. I made this mistake after washing it one time.

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.

So glad I bought this. Really stops the substantial dribble that immediately happens with filter paper (unless you use four or five at the same time like I was doing, thus not cost effective), which waters down the flavour of the coffee. My coffee now tastes so much nicer. Only annoying factor is when you plunge, some of coffee can come out the sides for some reason, but I have learned to plunge very slowly. Another annoying factor was that a few days after buying it, the price had dropped down to £26! Definitely buy if you want to get the full benefit from your Aeropress.

The standard cap works fine for typical brewing, but this pressure controlled cap allows for longer brew times, and makes it much easier (and safer) to do inverted brewing - except you don't really need to do that anymore, as this cap won't let a drop out until you press.

I've seen others have this problem and it appears I have it too. Overall I don't regret my purchase as I feel that it has improved the coffee but it does have a tendency to leak a little when pushing the coffee. Also the paper filter sticks to the inside every single time which is annoying.

This cap works very well in stopping any flow of coffee till required and you dont have to revert to the upside down method which can be dangerous if a little clumsy like me. You do have be more careful when emptying it as the papers tend to sick in the cap leaving the grains to go everywhere I have now learnt to only open it over the bin.The price normally stated is a bit of a rip off and for a few pounds more could be included in the original item.I purchased it during xmas sale but it was stil £20.

Very good gets full flavour & totally reusable after cleaning.

I've been using a metal filter on my Aeropress for years and always had the problem that when I turn it over (I do the inverted brewing method) the coffee will slowly start to come out without pressure applied, this makes regular brewing with a metal filter impossible and inverted works but... well it's just annoying.But this cap solves it, can brew regular or inverted and no leakage, no drip without pressure, no mess.If you use a metal filter this is a must have, and honestly they should bundle this with the regular model.
