![DEATH WISH COFFEE Whole Bean Coffee [16 oz.] The World's Strongest, USDA Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Arabica and Robusta B](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71zwNrL8-PS._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
First of all, I bought this because someone at my work lost the filter basket part when I had left it in the kitchen to dry...so I looked for a replacement and came across this...
First impression: Very pleasantly pleased with it - for multiple reasons expressed previously by others; please note that the number of stars I've assigned is based on items 1,2, &3...I'm not gonna base the star count on a purely subjective metric (flavor).
1: Looks to be well-made (take that with a grain of salt as I've just used it for the first time). I like the fact that it's only a single-layer filter - I've heard of nightmares with other metal filters using 2 layers where grounds get in between the two layers and you'll never get those grounds out...shouldn't have that problem with a single layer...at least if you do, you can stab the affected holes with a pin and get on with your life.
2: Zero drippage - when I first used the standard Aeropress with paper filters I thought it was stupid how you're supposed to stir the coffee brewage for x number of seconds whilst your coffee scoots right through the filter leaving you with a weaker brew. Yes, the inverted method takes care of this but still...the whole zero drippage thing is mucho nice - now I don't even need to flip.
3: Zero side jetting - even with using different size vessels, I'd always get at least a little side jet action making a mess on the counter or my clothes...not anymore.
4: Some folks will argue flavor & extraction qualities - frankly, people have different tastes - this metric is purely subjective so for those of you (you know who you are)...quit basing the # of stars you assign on a 100% subjective metric. As far as my personal tastes go - it was definitely a better tasting brew than I've managed with the standard paper filters (inverted method or traditional) when using the exact same grounds. Also worth noting, the product DEFINITELY had a thicker texture (obviously not espresso - everyone knows you don't get true espresso without selling your first-born child to buy a proper espresso machine). People also ascribe a lot to the crema produced - well...I didn't get much of any crema but that's not the fault of this device, it's the fault of using old back-up stash coffee since I ran out of the good stuff. Personally, given that it's a completely different extraction technique than a true espresso machine, you can all argue that it's not true crema...frankly I don't care, I'm not a coffee snob, flavor means more than presentation.
So far so good, if this thing breaks in a very short period of time, I'll note it here.
Cheers!

Pressure Actuated Valve
The secret weapon for “pulling a shot” with more pressure. The special valve stays sealed until you press down and creates more pressure in order to brew coffee to a consistency closer to espresso than the AeroPress Coffee Maker on its own. Additionally, the valve’s small aperture fits directly over an espresso shot glass.
No-Drip Seal
Ditch the flip. Brew full-immersion coffee without inverting your AeroPress Coffee Maker. Or, if cold brew is more your style, leave your AeroPress in the fridge overnight upright without a single leak.
Reusable Metal Filter
Cut out the middleman. Prismo's reusable 70 micron etched fine metal filter makes brewing speedy and efficient while eliminating the need for your AeroPress Coffee Maker's paper filters.

Nope. Never again!
By Dustin in Vegas on July 14, 2019
My wife found this item hard to secure to the Aeropress. She didn't use it. I used it about 20 times. See the picture for the last time I used it before I tossed it in the trash. I secured it well to the bottom of the Aeropress and went about making my first cup of the day. As I as pushing the plunger down, there was a loud pop and an explosion of coffee grounds and hot water all over the kitchen. I was able to salvage my white shirt, which was covered. The resulting mess took me over 30 minutes to clean up. Never again!
