How it brews
The small round paper disc that drops into the cap of a standard AeroPress — the same filter covers the Original, the Clear and the Go, which all share the one cap seat. Its job is simple: it sits under a pressed column of water rather than a gravity drip, so the paper mostly catches fines and oils and keeps sediment out of the cup, giving the clean finish people tend to associate with a paper AeroPress. AeroPress publishes no flow rating for it and there's no reliable within-seat ranking against, say, the metal reusable disc, so we leave flow unrated rather than guess. A quick rinse is common practice to knock back any paper note, and the XL brewer takes its own larger disc that does not fit this cap.
