Fellow Prismo Espresso Filter For Aeropress

The etched filter eliminates the need for paper filters. The valve’s small aperture also fits directly over an espresso shot glass.

Making your first Prismo shot

Coffee: Use the freshest coffee you can find. A espresso blend or darkly roasted coffee when pulling a shot.

Grind: Grind your coffee as fine as you would for espresso better are produced with Burr grinders. If your coffee is pre-ground, it will be harder to pull a good shot with Prismo.

Temperature: Use boiling water (212°F) when pulling Prismo shots. Very little water is used (50mL) and a lot of temperature is lost to the AeroPress® Coffee Maker, the coffee, and Prismo itself. Using water that’s even a little under boiling, such as 200°F or so, can really throw off the recipe and produce a sour shot.

Stirring: Prismo produces more pressure than a standard AeroPress® Coffee Maker, but less pressure than a real espresso machine. This can be compensated for by stirring the coffee a lot. Stirring increases extraction and helps develop the thick syrupy body that tastes great in a shot.

Press Out: The best results have been produced by pressing very hard on the AeroPress® Coffee Maker plunger to initiate the shot, then keeping constant pressure until the plunger squeezes all the way down to the coffee bed. Pressing slowly when pulling a shot can allow fines to get through the filter and sometimes creates a grainy texture.
