- The unbleached version of AeroPress's standard round paper disc — same cap seat, covering the Original, Clear and Go, just a natural-brown sheet instead of the white one. Under the pressed column the paper's job is to catch fines and oils for a clean finish, and the only objective difference from the bleached disc is the absence of oxygen bleach; any taste difference beyond a proper rinse isn't asserted here. A quick rinse is common to knock back any paper note. AeroPress prints no flow rating and there's no reliable within-seat ranking, so flow is left unrated.

- 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.
