I upgraded my AeroPress with this $25 gadget, and my coffee has never tasted better

Packaging and Aeropress Flow Control Filter.

We are nuts about coffee at Tom’s Guide — we even have a qualified barista on our team. So, whenever we get the chance to try out one of the best coffee makers or best espresso machines, we are on the case.

But it’s not just coffee machines that we like to test; any coffee gadget that can improve the taste of a delicious cup of Joe will be swiped up by our coffee-loving team for testing. This custom AeroPress filter is no exception, as it elevates the coffee-making experience and results in a professional finish with an impressive espresso-like crema and a more intense flavor, depending on how long you leave the coffee to brew.

I’m a big fan of the no-nonsense method of using the AeroPress manual coffee maker, which uses a plunger. Although it might look tricky, using an AeroPress is not as daunting as you think. Apart from being careful not to push the plunger too quickly, you end up with a quality brew, without the need to splash out on an expensive coffee machine.
