It is expensive because the seller wants your money! The ring around the outside of this filter actually gets in the way, and it isn't needed. I bought (3) 50 micron 4" x 4" pieces of stainless steel mesh on eBay for very little money in 2014, and cut a filter out of one piece using scissors. I have only needed one for those 4 years, and I have made well over two thousand cups in my AeroPress. It is still like new and I have 2 more pieces if I want to make another filter. When cleaning just put it under running water and rub from the center out to the edge. Occasionally I put it in my ultrasonic cleaner.

If you ever need to get a replacement for an S Filter, you can write us at help@kaffeologie.com. The new version of the S Filter has rings on each side of the mesh so it can no longer separate. All S Filters we sell (and any replacements we send) are the new version. Thanks, Nate
Tim, the filter is real thick, but you can push it down enough to force the plastic piece with the "catches" to close enough to hold the metal filter in place. As an alternative you might be able to get some fine sandpaper in there and sand down the plastic for a little more clearance... Personally, I went back to pa…

Personally, I went back to paper because I found the metal filter just too much hassle. I'll keep it in case I run out of paper filters. RON.

Standard grind like you get at the store for a Mr. Coffee drip coffee machine. My blade grinder is too fine it is like a powder and leaves sediment in the coffee with this filter.
It's designed specifically to use with an AeroPress. I haven't tried to make tea with my AeroPress, but I suppose it's possible. Once you've been making coffee with it, though, you would never want to make tea with it - flavors don't mix.
Most likely the manufacturer's pricing of the filter along with postage and mailer bring the price to around $3.50. If you return the filter Kaffeologie has covered their costs and will trash the filter.
At least four. Probably a lot more than that. Let's put it this way - you are unlikely to grind coffee fine enough that it will pass through the filter. Talcum powder mixed into enough water would _probably_ pass through with some encouragement.…

At least four. Probably a lot more than that. Let's put it this way - you are unlikely to grind coffee fine enough that it will pass through the filter. Talcum powder mixed into enough water would _probably_ pass through with some encouragement. If you're asking that question, this filter is probably not what you're looking for. If you're looking to make coffee, it will probably service.

No. "True" espresso as we tend to think of it uses an intrinsically different brewing method. That said, can you get a product that is strikingly similar in aroma and flavor to "true" espresso? Yes. Will it have the same emulsified "creamy" mouth feel? No. That said, I make two aero's a day using the Inversion method a…

Will it have the same emulsified "creamy" mouth feel? No. That said, I make two aero's a day using the Inversion method and am a happy and caffeinated camper. Hope that helps!
