- 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
- 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.
