## Description

Product Description

Review: Worth the Money - Pricey, but it stops the pre-press drip, which I feel does improve the flavour of our coffee even more. It's well made, too, so I expect that it will last many years. Happy that I bought it.
Review: Must have accessory - Great addition to my standard aeropress. Totally no drips, holds well and releases with steady pressure (albeit a tad squirty). Able to maintain a nice extraction all the way.

- Fits Standard Size AeroPress Coffee Makers – Works with AeroPress Original, Clear, Go, Go Plus, and Premium Manual Coffee Makers. We do not recommend using the Flow Control Filter Cap on AeroPress Original coffee makers made before 2014 due to a change in material that may affect the fit of the Flow Control Filter Cap.
- About AeroPress – Part French Press, part Pour-Over, part Espresso, AeroPress combines all three in one sleek, portable coffee maker. Air pressure and micro-filtration work together to brew faster than other methods (less than 60 seconds) so you get less bitterness and a smoother, more full-bodied cup with zero grit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this product fit the Aeropress Go?**
A: Yes it fits fine for making a great cup of coffee! However, your GO kit will no longer fit inside the red cover as originally designed because this cap is slightly larger than the original part.

**Q: Is this the same thing as the Fellow Prismo?**
A: 1) The AeroPress FCFC fits on both our Original and Go AeroPress. It was found that the Fellow's did not fit the Go. 2) The AeroPress FCFC uses either the Micro Paper Filter or the Metal Filter, Fellows only uses their included metal filter. 3) The AeroPress FCFC is Made In The USA!

**Q: Does this replace original bottom piece? My dad got an aeropress for me, but could not figure out how to use it because the bottom piece missing**
A: No, the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap does not replace the filter cap. Please our visit aeropress.com and fill out the Product Submit Form with your complete mailing address and we will get a replacement filter cap out.

**Q: How much pressure does it allow to build up before it opens?**
A: It doesn't actually hold pressure. It keeps the water from dripping when inverted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have accessory
*by G***E on 15 September 2025*

Great addition to my standard aeropress. Totally no drips, holds well and releases with steady pressure (albeit a tad squirty). Able to maintain a nice extraction all the way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The simple way to make great coffee just got better
*by K***R on 12 January 2026*

Hands up, I've been a fan of the AeroPress for the last decade. IMHO its always been one of the best ways to cheaply make great tasting coffee without too much faff! I'm not the biggest fan of the "Pod" machines, they make good (not great) coffee but compared to using ground coffee which tastes better, the price per cup is high. Yeah of course I could always get a big coffee machine, but emphasis on the big (and expensive). So depending on my mood, for the last decade its been my Mokka pot or the AeroPress. So what does the Flow Control Filter Cap being to the party? Well, if you use the AeroPress in the prescribed manner, it stops the coffee dripping through while you wait, and when you do press you can force your coffee though at higher pressure. This makes for a strong coffee, without it being too bitter/acidic. This is where I have to hold my hands up for the second time. The current batch of beans I'm running through are medium roasted, so I still have to see how this addition works with darker roasts, and can it infact produce any crema. So my journey isn't over it's just beginning, but it's a great beginning!
