E&B Lab Metal Filter for AeroPress – 35 µm or 150 µm
Place the metal disc in the filter cap instead of paper, brew, eject the puck, rinse the filter. The E&B Lab filter replaces the AeroPress paper filter and is used again and again.
E&B Lab is a brand of the Italian manufacturer IMS. The filter comes in two versions: Ultrafine with 35 µm as a woven stainless steel membrane with a double stainless steel ring, and Superfine with 150 µm as a perforated stainless steel disc with 28 % open area.
According to E&B Lab, you brew with the same recipe as with a paper filter, and the filter works across a wide range of grind sizes.

Tip from the roastery: On the AeroPress, Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight bring chocolate, nuts and caramel to the cup. Very Nutty brings maximum body without acidity. If you are curious about something fruity, add Wild Peach. That is our recommendation, one of many.
