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

Primera vez que lo uso, genera una taza más limpia y uds menos presión, requiere todo un mundo por recorrer

Pricey, but it stops the pre-press drip, which I feel does improve the flavour of our coffee even more. It's well made, too, so I expect that it will last many years. Happy that I bought it.

Great addition to my standard aeropress. Totally no drips, holds well and releases with steady pressure (albeit a tad squirty). Able to maintain a nice extraction all the way.

Ich benutze den Flow Control Filter fast täglich mit meiner AeroPress und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Für mich macht er die Nutzung etwas einfacher und kontrollierter weil der Kaffee nicht direkt durchläuft. Dadurch fühlt sich die Zubereitung sauberer und sicherer an vor allem wenn man den Kaffee erst kurz ziehen lassen möchte. Die Kappe passt bei mir gut und macht bisher einen stabilen Eindruck. Ich hatte bis jetzt keine Probleme damit und finde sie im Alltag wirklich praktisch. Zur langfristigen Haltbarkeit und dazu ob oder wann das Ventil irgendwann ausgetauscht werden muss, kann ich noch nichts Sicheres sagen. Nach meiner bisherigen Nutzung funktioniert aber alles einwandfrei. Für mich ist es ein sehr nützliches Zubehörteil für die AeroPress.

I think this is entirely fab. It solves the drip through problem so you now don't need to invert (which was always a silly idea), occasionally adds a nice bit of foam (with a paper filter), makes it a little easier to work with finer grinds, and gives you the flexibility and control to work through different recipes and refine your process. Personally I prefer using a paper filter on its own. It fits fine -- I think a lot of concern about leakage in use actually comes from the practicality of the deeper cap. It does seem expensive but to my mind it is paying off. After a few hundred coffees, here are things you need to know: If you are used to filling a mug to the brim with the standard cap, you will get a lot less in that same mug without leaking, because this cap sits deeper. Even if you give it just enough room, the spray from the nozzle will force some leaks through. You do need to keep the nozzle clean. The smallest amount of coffee solids will hold the nozzle open and you'll get a drip (or it might even squirt some coffee through if you knock it). So if you see a small indentation (or worse a tear) in your paper filter, that is a sign you need to clean the nozzle. It's easy to clean the nozzle: once you've rinsed off the cap and the lid, put the plunger back in, put some water in the Aeropress chamber, put the cap on, press the water through the nozzle, then pull the plunger back a little before removing the cap. That will push water through the nozzle and then pull it closed, and it'll work beautifully the next time. I do this about every three times I rinse, it's quick and easy.
