No cambió mi experiencia en nada. El filtro de metal no le cabe a la tapa original

I have this and the other branded version. They are both really good and do the job. I have found I like to use this one more than the other. Because the filter seems to be just a little better at filtering. It's easier to clean because it comes out easier, but somehow still has a better seal. It's obvious why looking very closely at the design. Get this one, it's less expensive and better. Down side to this, is also listed as an advantage. The filter comes out easy, if you aren't careful you may drop it. Also, one time the pressure valve popped out while cleaning and I had to fish it out of the drain. The valve is good for normal use, again just be careful cleaning it.

Great addition and alternative to the original brand’s valve filter cap. Metal filter is still holding up after 100+ cups made.

This is a nice upgrade to Aeropress. First, the seal of the valve makes prepping on a scale much easier. I set it up, pour in coffee by weight, add water by weight, then move to a glass and press. That is a lot less stressful than the feeling I need to press as soon as the water is in there. Second, while I thought I would prefer the paper filters because of ease of cleaning, this is better. There's no worry about the filter being out of place and the press exploding on press, the grounds still pop-out and the metal filter is cleaned in place with a quick rinse. I also think it is nice not to worry about having enough filters anymore or whether I get the stack filter wet while handling, this is easier. The coffee tastes much better, there is more complexity with the metal filter. The crema is more authentic. The ability to use less water and have a more espresso-like shot is a big upgrade. A cappuccino, now looks more like a real one with the very dark rich foam contrasting the milk foam. This is better on nearly all fronts. The one downside I see is that the bottom of the press, with this attachment in place, is now wider, so some mugs that were just fitting around the regular Aeropress, no longer fit. This is a tradeoff though. While the outside diameter is larger, the coffee is now being emitted from a smaller opening which allows this to press to be placed on top and outside of smaller vessels, like a smaller rim travel mug, and that can be pressed into without leakage. So far, that has been a nice advantage. On the whole, a big big improvement.

I bought a similar item from another manufacturer and this was nearly as good for less money. Firstly, this will NOT turn your aeropress into an espresso machine! Don't believe the hype. What it WILL do is allow you to make espresso shots of reasonable quality very quickly and easily. The metal filter allows JUST enough fine coffee grounds to give the espresso some texture. The design (identical to previous item I purchased) allows you time to do whatever you need to do without gravity emptying the aeropress. You can stir after adding water then allow it to sit for a minute and stir again without losing a drop. The negative to this item is the filter doesn't have a directional marking. The edge is beveled on one side which may be difficult for some users to understand. The other version I purchased has a clear printing on the filter so it's impossible to make a mistake. Great price, good performance.
