The cap promises espresso-like crema if you use finely ground coffee, but you can also experiment with coarser-ground coffee and use long steeping times, similar as to what many coffee geeks do with the Prismo. New to the AeroPress filter scene is the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap made by Aerobie themselves. This is one of the first new products released from Aerobie after the company was acquired by a new owner The flavor effect can be significant. Higher turbidity typically results in a heavier, more full-bodied coffee. This can be desirable for some coffee drinkers, particularly those who enjoy darker roasts or more robust flavors. What was really interesting was the difference between the two coffees, both in taste and appearance. The “classic“ filter cap gave its usual slightly oily cup, with more body and more sweetness, but with a lower level of acidity. The Flow Control Filter Cap gave a visibly cleaner cup, with less oily residue and more lively, acidic notes. It was more reminiscent of a percolated extraction than a classic AeroPress cup. Elevate your coffee brewing game with the new Flow Control Filter Cap. This innovative accessory uses a pressure-actuated valve to eliminate drip through and maximize control over the brew process. Unlike others, this cap fits perfectly on all AeroPress coffee makers and can be used with metal and paper filtersPersonally, I favor clarity (so that means paper filtration), but if you like something else, then by all means go ahead.

I am a long time user of the Fellow Prismo, I probably make 60% of my cups using Onyx's 2 minute immersion recipe. I would describe myself as an insufferable coffee snob, and since I began roasting my own beans last year, I've developed a pretty sensitive palate due to all the practice with cupping.COFFEE PRESS FLEXIBILITY - Compatible with AeroPress Original, AeroPress Go and AeroPress Clear. Not compatible with AeroPress XL coffee maker.(Coffee press not included.) We do not recommend using the Flow Control Filter Cap on AeroPress Original coffee makers made before 2014 due to a change in material that may affect the fit of the Flow Control Filter Cap.
