IrishHomer · 18-09-2018 11:00AM #1

Just purchased an aeropress and had my 1st delicious coffee absolutely delighted with the coffee

.

Just looking for advice in sourcing filters, it came with a batch of paper filters.

Are paper best or is reusable steel filters appreciate?

Where is best to buy filters?

TIA

I moved to the metal filter and never went back really, they can be bought cheaply on ebay. I bought one similar to this ages ago and never had issue:

Never thought of that - always saw more expensive metal filters and didn't think it'd be worth it. Bought - cheers.

You can use the paper filters more than once, I just leave it to dry beside the aeropress and it's usable until it starts to tear or whatever.

I bought this about three years ago, still going strong and gets used 3+ times per day.

I’ve used paper filters for years now and don’t fancy spending 12quid on the Able one.

I’ll give this a shot. It’s coming from China so I’ll get it before christmas if I’m lucky. Lol
