Using a fresh dark roast is the best way to produce crema with the new AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap. Espresso Results This is a significant development as it allows the brewer to be one step closer to achieving espresso-style brewed coffee just like the Fellow Prismo. It would be interesting to see if this can make a better espresso compared to other pressurized caps available for Aeropress.

COFFEE PRESS FLEXIBILITY - Compatible with AeroPress Original, AeroPress Go and AeroPress Clear. Not compatible with AeroPress XL coffee maker.(Coffee press not included.) We do not recommend using the Flow Control Filter Cap on AeroPress Original coffee makers made before 2014 due to a change in material that may affect the fit of the Flow Control Filter Cap.

Unlike other similar products, the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap fits both the AeroPress Original and the AeroPress Go , as well as the AeroPress Clear. Also unlike other products, it offers filter flexibility: it can be used with an AeroPress paper micro-filter , an AeroPress stainless steel filter , or a combination of both. Another unique aspect of the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap is that it is designed and made in the USA, just like the AeroPress coffee makers that it works with. Now, you might think regular AeroPress filters do the same thing, but when you add around 1.5 bars of pressure, they become more porous. That means they let some of those bitter compounds seep into your cup, making the coffee taste not as great as it could.FILTER FLEXIBILITY - The flexible AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap can be used with the AeroPress Stainless Steel Reusable Filter or AeroPress Paper Micro-Filters (or even both at once) to create a variety of delicious flavor profiles. (Filters sold separately) Sidenote: Alan Adler was always very conservative when it came to releasing new products, but the new owners have already announced a range of new gadgets to be released soon

What was really interesting was the difference between the two coffees, both in taste and appearance. The “classic“ filter cap gave its usual slightly oily cup, with more body and more sweetness, but with a lower level of acidity. The Flow Control Filter Cap gave a visibly cleaner cup, with less oily residue and more lively, acidic notes. It was more reminiscent of a percolated extraction than a classic AeroPress cup. However, turbidity can also mask some of the more delicate and nuanced flavors in coffee, particularly those found in lighter roasts or beans with fruity or floral notes. It was at a Blue Bottle Coffee shop in downtown Los Angeles—one of my first experiences drinking specialty coffee—and I had just had a cup of a fruity Ethiopia extracted with the device. It was smooth and almost creamy, slightly acidic and not at all bitter. … I had never tried anything like it before and desperately wanted to repeat the same experience at home.

AeroPress' patent-pending Flow Control Filter Cap uses a pressure-actuated valve to eliminate drip through and maximize control over the coffee brewing process. ESPRESSO-STYLE CREMA - When used with a paper filter and dark roast coffee, the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap uses a build up of pressure to create an espresso like crema.

Aesir filters are made from a new type of paper, which comes from a more dense and consistent pulp than what you’d find in most coffee filters. Simply attach the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap to any AeroPress coffee makers to stop drip through. For instance, this allows you to have a longer brew time and use coarser-ground coffee like all of our pre-ground medium grind coffee. However, the standard filters often produce a slightly muddy cup if you ask me. This is called “turbidity” by scientifically inclined coffee geeks.

However, it is designed to fit perfectly with the Aeropress, unlike the Prismo, which can be challenging to screw on properly in my experience.
