- 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.

- 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.
