Super video. There is one significant advantage of paper for me. Accidental loss. I'm used to ejecting my used coffee puck and paper filter straight into the compost or rubbish bin. On more than one occasion I had to rummage through the trash like a raccoon after discarding my metal filter the previous day.
Great video again!! Depending on my target i sometimes use 2 eropress filters at once. Also i wash aeroprss filters and use them 3-5 times to reduce waste - and for sure they are rinsed then super well ;-)
Something I’d never do. 😂 Drinking real coffee is a luxury these days. As part of that luxury I never balk at buying paper filters all the time and then only using them once.
Great comparison between the materials available for filtering options. I have the Able Fine metal filter (haven't used it in a while as I wanted to get away from the inverted method and wasn't a fan of the sediment in the cup). Have you done any testing to see if the Ten Miles Ultra-fine filter is able to be used for the non-inverted method (ie. does it drip while brewing)? Thanks.
It drips a bit yes - especially the 30µ one - you'd think the opposite - but it almost works to allow water to pass through quicker - but holds back all sediment - son in the case of the regular method - it'll still drip. the best approach to regular method no dripping is pick yourself up the Aeropress Flow Control Filter Cap 👌 alternativebrewing.com.au/products/aeropress-flow-control-filter-cap
Thank you! Why would my metal filter stop working? The water goes through immediately, no time to stir or use the plunger. I am left with wer grounds. This didn't happen at first.
The cap to your aeropress is on correctly? - Is the steel filter sert in to the cap as far as it will go? - Still using the same Grind Size - or has this changed? -- if you answered yes to all these questions - you may either have to replace the filter - (it sounds broke) - or try brewing with the AeroPress in the inverted method 👌
More Velvety and smooth - with less muddinees. The Cloth - does tend to let a few more larger fines through - this is my experience - it's close - though you can get a much better cup with the metal fine filters - especially if agitation - versus agitation with the cloth - as this will force more solids through the cloth versus the metal filter 👌
Not as much as the thickness to the papers. A general white paper filter will be thinner compared to a brown filter (unbleached). So you may in fact find the brown filter to be a better filtration depending on your tastes
So, the Aeropress metal filter is 178 microns, Ten Mile F1 is at 100 microns, F2 is at 30 microns, for comparison i wonder if anyone here would know what's the micron size of Aeropress paper filter ? Thanks in advance !
@@AlternativeBrewing percolator seems ok after changed the grind from fine to more coarse and the percolator works, will need to get a new filter for the aeropress
In terms of the individual benefits, Paper on bottom will just cancel out metals benefits, not clean up a metal filter - and metal on bottom - will do literally nothing except possibly slow any dripping initially - or make it a little harder to press.
I use a Prismo with its included metal filter and an Aeropress paper filter à la Jonathan Gagné’s recipe. I also use the Aeropress filters with my 6-cup Bialetti Moka Express. I really like the results I get in both instances. I’m quite tempted to try the Aesir filters just to see what I get.
@@coreycannon4511 I also use Prismo (an entirely improved immersion coffee) with a paper filter for ease of cleaning. When I used to live in town, it was easy to just rinse and flush grounds down the sewer. Now, in the country, those grounds would end up in a grease trap and septic tank. It is so much easier to just pop out and discard a paper filter.
@@coreycannon4511 ah yes ofcourse - that's actually a great tip thanks! 👌 Aesir Filters compared to regular filters are something else ! I suspect you'd also than enjoy the Ultra-fine ones too
Not really no. The amount in there would not be at the scale of concentration that could be deemed harmful. Though some people may experience symptoms with this style of filtration - it'd be more or less unnoticeable as the cause

💯 🙌 So true! Great point
All hail the aeropress. So many coffees from one great design. Thanks for the content
Glad you like them!

Great tip! thanks so much for watching 🤗

Thanks for an informative video regarding different filters. A side question, what kind/brand og cups are you using in the video?
Thanks! They'd be these: alternativebrewing.com.au/products/breville-dual-wall-glasses
If you know how to sew, you can make your own cloth filter. Of course, assuming you have access to cloth
Ill try the 10 mile metal filter.

How is the body with the ultra fine metal vs the coffeesock cloth filter?
More Velvety and smooth - with less muddinees. The Cloth - does tend to let a few more larger fines through - this is my experience - it's close - though you can get a much better cup with the metal fine filters - especially if agitation - versus agitation with the cloth - as this will force more solids through the cloth versus the metal filter 👌
Is there a difference in taste in using white paper filter vs brown paper filter?
Not as much as the thickness to the papers. A general white paper filter will be thinner compared to a brown filter (unbleached). So you may in fact find the brown filter to be a better filtration depending on your tastes
Great video. Thanks
You are welcome!
Question,can i get this paper filter from your online shop and shipping to Taiwan ？？😊
Yes you can!
So, the Aeropress metal filter is 178 microns, Ten Mile F1 is at 100 microns, F2 is at 30 microns, for comparison i wonder if anyone here would know what's the micron size of Aeropress paper filter ? Thanks in advance !
Has anyone bothered stacking genuine filters to see if they're similar to the thicker ones?
Metal for me. 🤘😈🤘
Just combine the metal and paper filter BINGO
Nice fresh hair cut Josh 🔥
Thanks! 😁
I'm trying to resist the temptation to cut circles out of old t-shirts.
😂 😂 😂
found the old aeropress in a cupboard, percolator seems dead, then realised no filters..
😱

Nice! Yea coarser is better 👌
On that note, why would someone use metal and paper filter together?
In terms of the individual benefits, Paper on bottom will just cancel out metals benefits, not clean up a metal filter - and metal on bottom - will do literally nothing except possibly slow any dripping initially - or make it a little harder to press.

With metal, you do have to look out for diterpenes.
Not really no. The amount in there would not be at the scale of concentration that could be deemed harmful. Though some people may experience symptoms with this style of filtration - it'd be more or less unnoticeable as the cause
50,000 holes in the metal filler?!?!?!?
Did you check? Or did you just take the manufacturer's word for it?😏
😂😂😂 i counted them obv 🙃 😝
