- The reusable stainless disc that replaces the paper micro-filter in an AeroPress cap — the same part is sold as the Gold-Tone, and an XL version covers the larger brewer. Because it's a metal mesh rather than paper, it lets more oils and some fines through, so brewers tend to get a fuller, more textured body and more sediment in the cup than the clean paper finish. It's a one-buy, washable option with no ongoing paper cost. AeroPress publishes no flow rating and there's no reliable within-seat ranking against the paper disc, so we leave flow unrated rather than guess.

- How it brews
- 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.
