FellowPrismo Attachment for AeroPress Coffee Maker - Enhance Your Manual Coffee Maker to Brew Espresso-Style and No-Drip Immersion Coffees, Reusable Metal Filter

One of my roommates bought one of the prismo attachments at our old house and I used it for a year. When I moved out, I tried to use the normal aeropress filter for a week, and ended up caving & buying a prismo because I love this thing so much. If you’re a big aeropress user this is a must. See below for my cons and pros.Cons:PRICE! Although I think it’s totally worth the money, this costs the same amount as the actual Aeropress. I get it’s a small company, but I would have liked to have paid $15, maybe $20 max for this.Fit. I have had my Aeropress for 3 years and it’s an older model. I can’t fully lock in this attachment without man handling it (it appears to be slightly too large for the groove) and so if there’s a lot of pressure in the aeropress, it’ll start to bubble coffee out of the cracks. Not a huge deal and I’m sure it has to do with the age of my aeropress.PROS:No Mess!: unlike the normal aeropress filter attachment that always seems to cause a total mess (I hope it’s not just me??), you can actually sit the aeropress upright without a cup under it with the prismo attachment on and nothing will come out until you push down the aeropress plunger.Stronger espresso- like coffee: I add in the equivalent of a scoop and a half using the aeropress scoop of finely ground coffee into the aeropress and I fill the aeropress about halfway with water. Then I stir it, and wait a few minutes while I heat up oat milk and it makes a super good latte. I am sure a coffee snob would not agree with how I use this but I like strong coffee / espresso and this seems to work. It also tastes slightly less acidic maybe? Way cheaper than buying an espresso machine!Durable: I used the prismo along with three coffee-drinking roommates every day for a year and it still looked the same as day one after that period of time and still functioned great.Reusable Filter: awesome quality, reusable filter.I think aeropress should partner with this brand and offer this as an add on with the aeropress. Even if you get it just to make your coffee making process less messy or for the reusable filter, It’s a great product and despite the price, I would recommend!

We have a Nespresso machine at our vacation property that everyone seems to love—except me. Determined to find a better alternative, I recently invested in an AeroPress and paired it with the Fellow filter. After watching countless YouTube tutorials of people flipping their coffee mid-brew, I was relieved to discover this filter eliminates the need for such acrobatics—thankfully, as I am not flipping anything before my first cup of coffee!The results? Game-changing. The flavor is noticeably smoother and more robust compared to the paper filters, making this purchase totally worth it. It’s also super easy to use and to clean. While I haven’t mastered the technique yet (still chasing that elusive crema for my “espresso”), it already beats the Nespresso machine and has become my go-to for a better coffee experience while travelling.

I really appreciate using the Aeropress as my go-to brewer for both home and travel purposes. It's one of the simplest methods available, and I love how easy and forgiving it is to make a great cup of coffee. Unlike other brewing methods that require more technique and attention to detail, the Aeropress is a filtered immersion brew that's straightforward and forgiving.The one complaint I have had with my Aeropress, is the small volume paired with needing to use the plunger to hold the flow. If you brew inverted, you need to insert the plunger deeply enough to prevent leaks or it coming loose, which costs you ~20% of the volume of the brewer. If you brew regular, you push some of the water through the paper filter prematurely when putting the plunger on the top, and again cost yourself 10-20% of the volume at the top. The Prismo solves this problem.The little check valve in the Prismo means the coffee will not flow until the plunger is added and some pressure is applied to the brewer. I can confidently brew upright using nearly the entire volume of the Aeropress, knowing that it will not leak, and I can let the coffee steep until I'm ready to grab the plunger and push it through.I do have one gripe- and it's that the Prismo claims to make "espresso-style" coffee; I would say that's a bit of a stretch. You aren't getting anywhere near the pressure required to make proper espresso. You have none of the body or strength in an Aeropress brew that you get from a real espresso machine. The Prismo is not for making "espresso", but I think the savings on paper filters, the ease of cleaning, and the enhancements to the workflow of using the Aeropress are valuable enough to justify the price without needing to make that stretch.I would absolutely recommend the Prismo as a great quality-of-life improvement for anyone who loves their Aeropress for its simplicity, convenience, and forgiving brewing.
