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

Product Information

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. With the Prismo you can do the same thing much more easily. Plus, you get the added advantages of a metal filter.

Have you been wondering why there’s no crema in any of your AeroPress brews? No doubt you’ve tried to produce a crema, only to fail again and again.Eliminate Filter Papers: The reusable etched metal filter of the Prismo helps to stop the buildup of sludge. This means that you don’t need to rely on filter papers to brew your coffee. This creates a buildup of pressure inside the chamber, which helps extract a rich, espresso-style coffee. The valve also prevents any unwanted drips, giving you the freedom to extend your brew times and more control. Comparison: Flow Control Filter Cap vs Fellow Prismo

However, if you use really fresh coffee beans, you can get a very thin layer of crema out of it. Some users claim they’ve had success, but most others disagree.Construction: The Flow Control Filter Cap is one piece, while the Prismo has two parts (gasket and metal filter). This means less chance of losing parts and easier maintenance. Now you’ll have a double filter. Why this produces the crema it does, I don’t know. But it does. If you know, let me know in the comments below! Insert the provided metal filter into your Prismo. Then, attach your Fellow Prismo to your AeroPress chamber. The Prismo’s superpowers have a greater affect on recipes that use metal filters or the inverted method. Thanks to the no-drip seal, the Prismo allows you to brew with a full immersion recipe with precision without needing to flip the Aeropress. This cuts down on the risk of spilling hot coffee all over yourself without any real downfall. Since every other metal filter I’ve come across so far requires the inverted method to work properly, Prismo is also the best metal filter on the market. Verdict

While the Prismo does help a smidgen with achieving barista-style espresso drinks right in your kitchen, the degree to which it helps is marginal. At this point you can lift the Aeropress off the scale, the no-drip seal will prevent any coffee from leaking out. Full immersion coffee is a method of brewing coffee. It’s any brewing method where coffee and water mix together in a container for a period of time. Portability: Sure, the AeroPress and the Prismo are portable as they are. But making a good “espresso-style” cup demands careful measurements and ratios that can only be achieved with corresponding equipment such as a scale, thermometer, etc.Personally, I favor clarity (so that means paper filtration), but if you like something else, then by all means go ahead. The inverted method has its downside; it’s precarious. Instead of standing on its solid base, the AeroPress is upside down and balanced on the top of the plunger, not exactly a situation you want when boiling water is involved.

Nothing is liable to break in this simple design. But the metal filter is fragile and can fold or bend, so treat it carefully. Value for Money – 3/5 Follow these secret methods and you’ll instantly master how to get crema from your AeroPress. If you don’t yet have the Prismo, start with method 1 and see how you go. You might surprise yourself.Not only does the Fellow Prismo make espresso-style coffee. It also brews full-immersion coffee in the regular position. No more inverted AeroPress! Step 5 is the only one that is more challenging when using the Prismo, thanks to the finer grinder and the higher pressure needed to force the brewed coffee through the pressure-actuated valve. Make sure your arm muscles are up to the task and choose a sturdy mug. This is not the time for that dainty antique teacup. A Note About the Inverted Method You probably already know and have used the regular AeroPress filters, so I won’t spend too much time on them in this post. In our review of the Prismo, we decided to get a little sciencey with our approach. To mitigate the risk of bias or a placebo effect, we staged a blind taste test experiment. So, now that I have my new Prismo attached and some fresh coffee beans ground down to a very fine grind (number 1-2 on the OXO burr grinder are the best settings I’ve found so far), I’m ready to brew espresso style coffee.
