A fantastic addition, but at a price.
This attachment allows me to make my aeropress coffee by the "inverted" method without having to actually invert the device and risk all the usual instability hazards, which is great in our campervan.The metal filter is OK, but I still continue to use paper filters as well. The resulting coffee tastes amazing.Clean up is no harder than it is with the original end piece. If you loosen the filter from the aeropress and slightly withdraw the plunger, you can then remove the filter and cap and expel the grounds in a satisfying puck just as with the original set up.I was very worried that it would be hard to remove after reading all the reviews that said it was very tight fitting to the aeropress, but it is not. It goes on and off perfectly, and I wonder if those other reviewers had a different aeropress model, perhaps slightly smaller than the original version.The only downside to this item is the cost, which seems bonkers for such a small bit of kit, but it looks like it is going to last, and for that reason it fully deserves my 5 star rating.

Most definitely NOT espresso, but still a great addition to an Aeropress
I was doubtful about the claims of 'espresso style', and I was right. I'm sure this could be improved allowing a better pressure buildup like my little manual portable espresso device, but this filter just won't get close.HOWEVER, this is the only negative thing I'd say about it. This is what the Aeropress should have been like to start with: it seals the cylinder perfectly, no spills, no mess, no silly inversion needed. For that reason alone, this filter is well worth it. I've experimented a bit with different grind coarseness, water temperatures and amounts, brewing times, and there's a nice range of flavours one can get with this, worth experimenting a bit to get the style you prefer. I find the coffee is a bit more aromatic and perhaps sweeter too than when using the original attachment with paper filters, presumably due to oils otherwise stuck to the paper?In short: it makes the Aeropress a lot better to use. It's easier and cleaner. Just don't expect anything close to espresso, but that doesn't mean you cannot get a good coffee.

The Fellow Prismo Attachment for AeroPress is a great product!
The Fellow Prismo Attachment for AeroPress is an excellent product. Bought on the recommendation of a friend, it does a great job of making the AeroPress easier to use, and ensuring a consistently good coffee is the result.It’s also super easy to rinse clean, and has worked well for months now.

Overpriced Tat (That I Can’t Live Without)
As far as overpriced coffee widgets go, this one is pretty cheap. It also makes a meaningful difference to the function of the Aeropress, and I can’t imagine not having one now. I use it for making espresso-strength shots with both the metal filter and a paper filter fitted. It gets used two or three times daily. The coffee through this tastes closer to espresso than the stock Aeropress (which tastes like super-strength filter coffee to me).It is just as easy to clean the Prismo as it is to clean the standard Aeropress gubbins, as long as you use a reasonable amount of pressure to compress the grounds into a puck. It also helps if you use both metal and paper filters. Basically, the Prismo seems fine with a quick rinse along with the rest of the Aeropress. I have not had it leak coffee and, for now, I feel confident pouring water into the Aeropress without a mug underneath it as long as the Prismo is fitted.So why is it overpriced? Well, it’s basically the rubber valve out of a ketchup bottle that’s fitted to an adaptor, allowing you to stick it to the bottom of the Aeropress. Oh, and a reusable filter, which softens the blow a little.As it’s based around a valve that everyone else uses as a disposable part, I have very limited hope for its lifespan. You can, of course, not get spares and Fellow who will offer a two year warranty on a kettle won’t offer you a day on this (but that’s in the UK - they’ll give you a year if you’re in the US). I’ll update and apologise if it lasts a reasonable length of time.

Really helps making latte style drinks with "espresso" recipes
A lot of espresso style aeropress recipes call for the inverted method, which can lead to boiling water going all over the place so I didn't bother attempting that. The fellow prismo holds the coffee until you press down on the aeropress, there is no leakage. Easy to use, plenty of recipes online, makes a good latte. It does NOT make actual espresso.

Not for me
Only for making short espressos. I don't think it adds anything if you are after the filter type. If you really want espressos go for it but instructions also recommends about three times the amount of coffee I used for a filter coffee for the espresso, which would wire me. Returned.

After waiting to buy, was it truly worth it? Oh, yes.
What a simple, yet fine piece of kit. Around three times the cost of a pack of filters, I was cautious to spend the money, but then, I knew I wanted one of these. I had to know if the best coffee I make at home could get even better. And the answer is, thankfully, yes.Provided one does the basic things right, like fitting the mesh into the holder face up, (with the word 'Fellow' showing), and making sure it is firmly attached to the Aeropress, ( a piece of cake, really), all you need do is supply fresh coffee of an appropriate grind, your existing favourite presumably, then it is hard not to produce a memorable brew every time. And it sits ready, without leakage, while I pre-heat my cup, which was not possible before.Maybe I like a good coffee a bit too much, but that being the case, this item, along with the Aeropress itself, gives about the best brew I get anywhere all year, and on a daily basis, and I’ve noticed friends are dropping by more often for a coffee, so maybe I’m getting a reputation for a better brew? Well, a pleasure shared is a pleasure multiplied.
