FellowPrismo Attachment for AeroPress Coffee Maker - Enhance Your Manual Coffee Maker to Brew Espresso-Style and No-Drip Immersion Coffees, Reusable Metal Filter

This is a fantastic addition to your AeroPress setup! Not only does it significantly enhances the flavour of your coffee. It prevents leaks, ensuring a consistent brew every time. Plus, it eliminates the need for paper filters, reducing waste and adding convenience. Highly recommended for coffee lovers who value quality, sustainability, and a seamless fit!

This attachment allows me to make my aeropress coffee by the "inverted" method without having to actually invert the device and risk all the usual instability hazards, which is great in our campervan.The metal filter is OK, but I still continue to use paper filters as well. The resulting coffee tastes amazing.Clean up is no harder than it is with the original end piece. If you loosen the filter from the aeropress and slightly withdraw the plunger, you can then remove the filter and cap and expel the grounds in a satisfying puck just as with the original set up.I was very worried that it would be hard to remove after reading all the reviews that said it was very tight fitting to the aeropress, but it is not. It goes on and off perfectly, and I wonder if those other reviewers had a different aeropress model, perhaps slightly smaller than the original version.The only downside to this item is the cost, which seems bonkers for such a small bit of kit, but it looks like it is going to last, and for that reason it fully deserves my 5 star rating.

I was doubtful about the claims of 'espresso style', and I was right. I'm sure this could be improved allowing a better pressure buildup like my little manual portable espresso device, but this filter just won't get close.HOWEVER, this is the only negative thing I'd say about it. This is what the Aeropress should have been like to start with: it seals the cylinder perfectly, no spills, no mess, no silly inversion needed. For that reason alone, this filter is well worth it. I've experimented a bit with different grind coarseness, water temperatures and amounts, brewing times, and there's a nice range of flavours one can get with this, worth experimenting a bit to get the style you prefer. I find the coffee is a bit more aromatic and perhaps sweeter too than when using the original attachment with paper filters, presumably due to oils otherwise stuck to the paper?In short: it makes the Aeropress a lot better to use. It's easier and cleaner. Just don't expect anything close to espresso, but that doesn't mean you cannot get a good coffee.

A lot of espresso style aeropress recipes call for the inverted method, which can lead to boiling water going all over the place so I didn't bother attempting that. The fellow prismo holds the coffee until you press down on the aeropress, there is no leakage. Easy to use, plenty of recipes online, makes a good latte. It does NOT make actual espresso.

As far as overpriced coffee widgets go, this one is pretty cheap. It also makes a meaningful difference to the function of the Aeropress, and I can’t imagine not having one now. I use it for making espresso-strength shots with both the metal filter and a paper filter fitted. It gets used two or three times daily. The coffee through this tastes closer to espresso than the stock Aeropress (which tastes like super-strength filter coffee to me).It is just as easy to clean the Prismo as it is to clean the standard Aeropress gubbins, as long as you use a reasonable amount of pressure to compress the grounds into a puck. It also helps if you use both metal and paper filters. Basically, the Prismo seems fine with a quick rinse along with the rest of the Aeropress. I have not had it leak coffee and, for now, I feel confident pouring water into the Aeropress without a mug underneath it as long as the Prismo is fitted.So why is it overpriced? Well, it’s basically the rubber valve out of a ketchup bottle that’s fitted to an adaptor, allowing you to stick it to the bottom of the Aeropress. Oh, and a reusable filter, which softens the blow a little.As it’s based around a valve that everyone else uses as a disposable part, I have very limited hope for its lifespan. You can, of course, not get spares and Fellow who will offer a two year warranty on a kettle won’t offer you a day on this (but that’s in the UK - they’ll give you a year if you’re in the US). I’ll update and apologise if it lasts a reasonable length of time.

I've been thinking of buying one of these for a long time. There are many ways to use the Aeropress but I like to make a 65 gram shot with 20 grams of coffee. Then I add frothed milk. For darker roasts, that's quite straightforward, but with lighter ones, you don't get all the flavour you can out of the beans.You can, of course, invert the tube but when you revert it before pressing the coffee bed doesn't lie flat.This, way - despite leaving the coffee and water in the tube with a three-minute wait - there is no early leakage through. All the coffee gains the flavour.Not only does the coffee taste great - I enjoy the coffee oils that are usually filtered out via a paper filter.The downside is - for a bit of plastic - the Aeropress and its accessories are ridiculously overpriced these days as they continue to try and over-monetize the brand.But the coffee tastes great at least.
