How it brews

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 larger round paper disc cut for the AeroPress XL cap — a bigger seat than the standard AeroPress, so this filter and the standard one do not interchange in either direction. Like the smaller disc it works under a pressed column rather than a gravity drip, catching fines and oils so the pressed cup lands clean; the extra diameter simply matches the XL's wider chamber and larger batch. AeroPress states no flow class for it and there's no dependable within-seat ranking, so we leave flow unrated rather than invent one. Brewers who dislike any trace of paper tend to give it a rinse before brewing.
