A lot of people have asked whether I’ve used this filter, by Able Brewing Equipment (formerly Coava), in my AeroPress in place of the usual paper filters.

I have, but I don’t like it. Here’s why:

On my preferred AeroPress grind, nearly as fine as espresso¹, the Disk clogs badly. This results in two problems: more difficult cleanup and increased sediment in the cup from the grounds that pass through.

So the Disk ruins three great things about the AeroPress:

• Ability to use a very fine grind.
• Very fast and easy cleanup.
• Zero sediment.

I also didn’t detect a taste improvement over the paper filters. Maybe you can, in which case, go in peace and love your Disk. But I can’t recommend it.
