With the Aeropress?

As the other anon said, essentially more fines but a lot more body and oils, which is the reason why you would want to switch from paper to metal (it’s worth it 100%).

The cleanup is simple, I just take the metal filter (I use a Prismo) and wash it with hot water then I add a drop of dish soap on it and with my finger (no need for a sponge) I wash it and make foam then rinse under hot water. It takes 30 seconds, it’s not a problem at all and the filter stays clean and unclogged always.

As for the fines, you have to play with agitation/steeping time to find the right extraction, however I found that with mine everything under 1.6.0 on my JX pro makes a lot of fines, it also depends on how you press because if the puck is perfectly formed then you’ll have very little fines but if it’s not formed and broken when you remove the plunge then you’ll have more fines. I guess that it comes down to how much pressure you exercise on the plunge.

So, if you have the Aeropress buy the Prismo and avoid other mesh filters.
