Have always been curious about the filters for Aeropress, my brother owns one and it’s a tank, though the disposable filters seem annoying to refill and deal with. Are they proprietary, or is it pretty easy to find replacement filters from 3rd parties for cheap? Worried about what VC money taking over Aeropress means — it’d be like if Patagonia got sold to Blackrock.
I bought a reusable metal filter so that's not an issue for me. There aren't really third party filters available, which is strange given how popular of a device it is.
There are a few 3rd party paper filters out there but I didn't like any I tried; off flavors, bad fit, suspect origin and materials. Plenty of 3rd party metal filter options though.
And once upon a time saw a 3rd party reusable cloth filter, which seems like WAY too much effort to me.
Didn't like the metal filter because I found it made the coffee grittier than a paper filter.
Thankfully I haven't noticed any issues with the unbleached 3rd party paper filters I got - especially since I bought a pack of 1000 lol
