Coffee Filter Cap Replacement

works well. fits. great for when you make that mental slip and throw the original in the trash.

Great, fit my aeropress perfectly!

Perfect fit. No problems with it.

Seemed like exactly the same as the original one I lost but it wouldn’t attach to the press.

I think I accidentally knocked my original cap into the trash or somethin because it just disappeared! This cap is just like the one out of the box. Fits just right. Nothing fancy but definitely not worthless. Gets the job done so I can have my coffee!

After making the classic mistake of leaving my AeroPress filter cap in the trash can, I purchased this 3rd party cap with some trepidation. No need, this is actually better than the original filter cap. The original had a very tight tolerance and would be very hard to remove when heated up by the coffee. This has a looser tolerance that allows me to clean my AeroPress right after making coffee, but still tightens up at the end of the rotational travel so that it performs the function of keeping a seal on the filter when pressing. Overall this has led to a better experience and I'm glad I purchased this one over the original cap.

I must have been tired and thrown out my original strainer with my coffee grounds one day. Looked all over my kitchen and it was gone. This came in a few days and works great.

The cap is easy to lose because you're not supposed to store it with the plunger compressed. A design flaw for sure, but really it means this is a thing. Fortunately this is to me indistinguishable from the original, and that's perfectly fine with me.

We have tried other replacements that don’t fit, but this does

The description of the filter is that the internal dimension is 2.5 inches which is 63.5 mm. The delivered filter ranges between 62.75 and 62.9 mm. It is possible to get it onto the aero press body, but requires Multigrips and a screwdriver to lever to it off. Not a practical solution.

Warning!! Does not fit - way too tight so you are unable to lock into position and properly press.

I bought my Aeropress in 2016 and I doubt that the design has changed since then. This plastic cap had the most positive reviews, but I shouldn’t have discounted the other negative review saying it didn’t fit. It’s really too thight to lock or unlock by hand. Instead of returning it, I sanded the interior to ease the fit, but it’s still not there yet. There were also some residual plastic from the mold still attached to the cap. Save yourself the hassle and order another one!

Doesn’t fit properly rendering it useless. When I pressed the coffee it shot out and coffee went everywhere. For the sake of £2 it’s worth going directly to aeropress to get a replacement. Lesson learnt!
