- The original standalone reusable metal disc for the AeroPress, from Able Brewing. It drops into the standard filter cap in place of paper, so it lets more of the coffee's oils through for a fuller, more textured body. It comes in two etches: the Standard passes a touch more fines and body, while the thinner DISK Fine aims for a very clean, sweet cup with little to no sediment. One buy, washable, and it lasts for years — no ongoing paper. Able publishes no within-seat flow rating against paper, so we leave flow unrated.

- How it brews
- A third-party stainless mesh disc for the standard AeroPress cap, an alternative to AeroPress's own reusable metal filter. Like any metal AeroPress filter it passes more oils and fines than paper, so the cup tends to read fuller and carry more sediment, in exchange for cutting single-use waste. Flow isn't rated by the maker and there's no dependable within-seat ranking, so we leave it unrated. It seats in the same AeroPress cap as the standard paper disc.
