After waiting to buy, was it truly worth it? Oh, yes.
What a simple, yet fine piece of kit. Around three times the cost of a pack of filters, I was cautious to spend the money, but then, I knew I wanted one of these. I had to know if the best coffee I make at home could get even better. And the answer is, thankfully, yes.Provided one does the basic things right, like fitting the mesh into the holder face up, (with the word 'Fellow' showing), and making sure it is firmly attached to the Aeropress, ( a piece of cake, really), all you need do is supply fresh coffee of an appropriate grind, your existing favourite presumably, then it is hard not to produce a memorable brew every time. And it sits ready, without leakage, while I pre-heat my cup, which was not possible before.Maybe I like a good coffee a bit too much, but that being the case, this item, along with the Aeropress itself, gives about the best brew I get anywhere all year, and on a daily basis, and I’ve noticed friends are dropping by more often for a coffee, so maybe I’m getting a reputation for a better brew? Well, a pleasure shared is a pleasure multiplied.

The coffee doesn't leak out until you apply pressure
Works perfectly. i've had this for over a year, and even with daily use it doesn't clog up. Much better than having to mess with disposable filters. And the best thing is the coffee doesn't leak out until you apply pressure. So you can use the aeropress without worrying about leaksTo be honest i don't know why aeropress doesn't supply something like this with their product.

Great tool but spare parts only available from USA
I bought this in Feb-24 and by Oct the valve had come out (and got lost). I searched far and wide for a new (tiny rubber "Prismo AeroPress Attachment valve") and all I could fine was one for $2 from Prismo USA... with about $10 postage!. Weird how these aren't for sale in UK.....

Overpriced Tat (That I Can’t Live Without)
As far as overpriced coffee widgets go, this one is pretty cheap. It also makes a meaningful difference to the function of the Aeropress, and I can’t imagine not having one now. I use it for making espresso-strength shots with both the metal filter and a paper filter fitted. It gets used two or three times daily. The coffee through this tastes closer to espresso than the stock Aeropress (which tastes like super-strength filter coffee to me).It is just as easy to clean the Prismo as it is to clean the standard Aeropress gubbins, as long as you use a reasonable amount of pressure to compress the grounds into a puck. It also helps if you use both metal and paper filters. Basically, the Prismo seems fine with a quick rinse along with the rest of the Aeropress. I have not had it leak coffee and, for now, I feel confident pouring water into the Aeropress without a mug underneath it as long as the Prismo is fitted.So why is it overpriced? Well, it’s basically the rubber valve out of a ketchup bottle that’s fitted to an adaptor, allowing you to stick it to the bottom of the Aeropress. Oh, and a reusable filter, which softens the blow a little.As it’s based around a valve that everyone else uses as a disposable part, I have very limited hope for its lifespan. You can, of course, not get spares and Fellow who will offer a two year warranty on a kettle won’t offer you a day on this (but that’s in the UK - they’ll give you a year if you’re in the US). I’ll update and apologise if it lasts a reasonable length of time.

Better flavors due to extraction.
The difference of extraction from the coffee is night and day to usual paper filters. It gives a totally different flavour profile, Very happy with the purchase.

Genuinely very very impressed.
I've been thinking of buying one of these for a long time. There are many ways to use the Aeropress but I like to make a 65 gram shot with 20 grams of coffee. Then I add frothed milk. For darker roasts, that's quite straightforward, but with lighter ones, you don't get all the flavour you can out of the beans.You can, of course, invert the tube but when you revert it before pressing the coffee bed doesn't lie flat.This, way - despite leaving the coffee and water in the tube with a three-minute wait - there is no early leakage through. All the coffee gains the flavour.Not only does the coffee taste great - I enjoy the coffee oils that are usually filtered out via a paper filter.The downside is - for a bit of plastic - the Aeropress and its accessories are ridiculously overpriced these days as they continue to try and over-monetize the brand.But the coffee tastes great at least.

Fellow Prismo, not worth the asking price
The Prismo allows you to brew coffee with an aeropress without coffee dripping out immmediately after pouring water on the ground coffee it also allows you to brew a slightly larger volume of coffee. The big claim made for the Prismo is that the valve arrangement increases the pressure so that the coffee is more 'esspresso-like'. I didn't find that it generated any more pressure, nor did it require any more pressure on the plunger. Preparing coffe with the standard Aeropress but using 2 paper filters requires more pressure than the PrismoOf course it's possible to brew 'drip-free' coffee with an aeropress using the inverted brew method, which is my preferred method. The filter on the Prismo is slighly more difficult to clean because of the rubber ring surrounding the filter disc.Bottom line: the coffee is no better than with the standard Aeropress. On balance I'd say don't waste your money.
