Fellow Prismo - Filter Attachment for AeroPress Coffee Maker

I've been using AeroPress for a number of years and was unhappy when during a move, I lost the filter holder making my AeroPress unusable. I finally gave up looking for it and ordered this. It is easy to use and makes great coffee. I first made the espresso style as in the directions and it is produces good crema and tastes yummy! I can finally have close to espresso at home!

I was excited to try after all the online reviews. Unfortunately, this system provides zero improvement to inversion and paper filters in terms of crema or taste.

This attachment is an absolute game-changer(especially if you use paper filters not the metal one). Holds all the coffee in, allowing it to steep much more efficiently. More than doubles the amount of pressure created giving you a fuller flavor, and if done right an amazing crema. Make better coffee, great espresso, and fire ass lattes anytime. Will not be going back to paper filters lol. If you are a coffee snob like myself, $25 is well worth the brewing and drinking experience this provides. Couldn’t be more satisfied, highly recommend, 10/10!

I just got into the Aeropress scene, so I've been living under a rock up until this point. I have always preferred espresso style drinks, which is why home coffee brewing didn't seem possible. I got my aeropress, tried it out, and it felt too weak of a brew, despite following recipes for more espresso style drinks. Then I added the Prismo. Now that is what I'm talking about! Concentrated demitasse that I can drink as is or try to make a coffee shop drink. I haven't perfected the Aeropress, because it is so kitchenlab science. But with this attachment, I have the late-game tool to a victorious cup of coffee. Also, this does include a fine metal filter so you don't have to worry about purchasing another metal filter which is a definite plus. Very happy with my purchase and is the only real Aeropress attachment/accessory needed to upgrade your coffee skills (besides grinding your own fresh coffee).

First off, I am new to the AeroPress world, and I just love it, and thought it was a perfect design. But, the Prismo is the missing-link in terms of the design of the unit and takes your brews to the next level in a few ways:
1) it improves on the design of the original AeroPress in that when you pour your hot water on the grounds there is no leakage until you apply pressure. So no need to use the inversion method if you want to make an immersion/french-press style cup with coarser grind as there is no water leakage until you apply pressure!
2) it works as intended to make 'espresso-like' shots, dense with a nice crema- just follow the recipe they recommend and there are plenty of vids out there with good tips.
3) no need to buy a separate metal filter since the Prismo comes with one -You will never need to buy another paper filter again.
4) high quality build- fits the AeroPress tightly as if it was an o.e.m. accessory.
5) frenchpresscoffee.com - great, fast service, and the order arrived quickly.

To sum it up, I highly recommend this. In fact, I'm going to make a shot right now lol

Both arrived in short order!
Both work well, just as described and I am glad that my flavorful coffee oils are back!

I've had my Aeropress for about 2 years, and have enjoyed it very much, but I heard from a friend, (an excellent, professional chef), that it makes even better coffee with with a reusable filter. I called Frenchpresscoffee.com, and of the various reusable filters this was the one recommended. This is a great concept, and the first cup of coffee I made with it was really delicious. But (!) it didn't fit well on my Aeropress. Granted it's a retrofit, and that is probably the problem, but I was unable to twist it fully into place. I WAS able to twist it far enough that I almost couldn't get it free again. I had to bring it to my husband out in the shop for him to get it to loosen - and he had difficulty! So the next time I made coffee I didn't twist it quite that tightly. I started the process of making my morning coffee, and was pressing the coffee through the filter. As the plunger went down, it became harder to push. I was pushing pretty hard when the plunger suddenly "gave", the filter popped off, and coffee kind of exploded up - splashing my face, drenching my shirt and actually burning my wrist. So I'm not sure how to rate it. Based on the first cup of coffee I'd give it five stars - but based on the problem of trying to retrofit it to an older, used Aeropress, in my case it's not useable. I've given it away (with a warning) hoping it will fit my son-in-laws Aeropress better. So - balancing 5 stars and unusable I've compromised with 3 stars. But if it fits your Aeropress it's a five star attachement!

Perfect complement to the aeropress. Allows one to have more coffee in the brewer, excellent microfiltration and as close as you can get to espresso in a travel device. Just the sound of the vacuum release is enough to make you want to make a cup!

Happy with the product. Works great.

This site was the only site that could send me the product fast and at a fair price--Amazon's listing was for almost double the cost. The site was easy to use and the post-purchase communication was excellent. The product works as described--really produces a fine cup of "espresso". The metal screen does a great job and come out almost clean. It is a worthy addition to the Aeropress if you are java-phile...
