I use the inverted brewing method with the Aeropress. If I purchase this filter, wouldn't it just fall off when I invert it?

I don,t invert,but if you put all the coffee and water in then the plunger just started in you can invert. I use a glass measuring pitcher (2 cup) and treat it like a french press. I put it all in and stir for 10 sec. let it sit for a minute. Then pour into the aero press and press. You can also place all in aero press and insert plunger and let it sit on top of the cup. There will very little drip through due to the vacuum created by the weight of the coffee and water. I hope this helps. You can also treat it as you do the paper filters. It works about the same.

No, it goes right in the place of the paper filter, so it's locked in. Instead of doing the inverted method I just brew in the water holder, let it sit and then dump that into the filter.

No. It does not fall off when you position the filter on top of the inverted aeropress and then screw on the end cap with holes as you normally would. Flip the entire column over and position on cup as usual. For illustration one brewing method using the inverted column see http://www.coffeenate.com/how-to-make-coffee-with-the-aeropress-aeropress-video-tutorial/

It shouldn't, it's hold by the cap where you usually use the paper filters.
65413
Yes it will. It is not recommended that you use the inverted method with other than paper filters.
65414
Absolutely not. The black piece that screws in is right there. Disk works great for inverted.

I used a plastic coffee filter holder that held a Melitta coffee filter. The filter holder has a flat bottom that stabilizes it over the carafe. I would watch everything carefully as the carafe is not as level as I would want.

Interesting question. I tried it and my opinion is you would not like the coffee it produces. The screen of the infuser is much coarser than filter paper for coffee makers and it lets a lot of fine particles through. I did this using a glass of hot water so I could watch and after a minute the bottom of the glass is covered with sludge.

The aeropress will not fit directly below, you would have to hold it at an angle and therefore not hands free.

yes, it will attach inverted. In my opinion it is too small in diameter to achieve your goal.

My boyfriend is a coffee lover, and what he taught me to do is to put the coffee filter first and then Kcup, it will work the same way, but any coffee grounds will stay in the paper filter. It works in the individual brewer or the 12 cups brewer perfectly. :) Hope it works for you as well!

Yes, I would push the filter down but the coffee grounds would be packed at the lid when finished brewing. But since I got then I don't have grounds in my coffee. I'm just bummed, keurig brewer stopped heating the water after I got my second order of these.

If the Bunn High Velocity brewer uses a standard Bunn filter, the answer is most likely no. The problem we has is the reusable filter is too short and allowed the coffee grinds to flow over the top and into the coffee.

YES! and it comes out dark, thick and smooth. I use 2 scoops from aeropress and add water up to #3, best damn coffee ever! made it with water up to line 2 but it was way to strong. Adjust to your own taste...

The filter has a cylindrical shape. Since it is for a single cup of coffee I think the shape is just fine. It allows the water to drip through the coffee and the entire batch of grounds gets wet so I believe it allows the water to drip through at a slow enough pace that it gets full flavor from the coffee. If you want a stronger cup then adjust the amount of grounds you use until you get it the way you want.

Dorothy, that's actually a very good question, and I don't have the answer. I also have a Keurig with its filter but never thought about this question. Probably Keurig is the best place to get an answer though they'll probably want us to use their filter too.

I'm not sure, because I did not try it. I have ground my coffee more than usual, and it seemed okay, but over the long term, it might gather inside the filter. Try it. If it seems to get clogged, then switch to a coarser grind.

I've been experimenting with it daily and so far this is the best I come up with, the inverted method seen here at Stumptown's site http://stumptowncoffee.com/brew-guides/aeropress/ allows for an amazing flavor (beans best be good or it tastes no better than plain filter coffee) To answer your question, I have not had any crema made out of mine, but certainly the flavor has been really good- definitely not 'plain coffee'.

You leave it down when you are attaching the filter to the machine. After brewing espresso, you can remove the filter handle assembly from the machine, flip up the lever, and turn the whole handle/filter assembly upside-down over a wastebasket or knockbox to bang the used espresso grounds out.

The past answers below recommend tucking in the long part of the filter, which is correct, but what type flavor is your concern? If the tea is very fine, then twist the filter above the tea line and do not submerge above the tea line.

You are talking about the old filter right? If so, yeah, it seems to get stuck pretty good on there over time. If you can get a pair of pliers on the bottom part and twist counter clockwise, remember it's upside down. Once you get it started, it still is pretty difficult until you get it all the way off. Good luck. Thanks.

No have never had that happen. Are you sure you are putting in the right amount of coffee? Also it did not say what type of coffee maker you have. I have a Bunn My Café that only takes these pods. What we do is turn them upside down so they fit snuggly I the tray and it comes out perfect every time. Hope this helps.
