How it brews
A reusable organic-cotton pad cut to the AeroPress filter cap, from CoffeeSock. Cloth sits between paper and metal: the cotton absorbs some of the oils a metal disc would pass, yet lets the acids through, so the cup reads clear and crisp without the papery note of a fresh paper filter. It's washable, lasts about a year of daily use, and composts at the end of its life. No published within-seat flow rating, so we leave flow 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.
