Very finely ground bean dust does come through so I use coarsely ground beans on camping trips. Perfect for that use, quick rinse with water, multiple brews around the fire with no mess or trash. Fit and seal are tight with the AeroPress no leak cap, I refuse to use the original ported cap. In my opinion the taste is dependent on science not metal vs paper, the ease of use, reliability, reusability, and quality make up for any minute difference in taste a coffee snob touts.

Saves Money Overtime, Less Reliable?
Medium and coarse grind only. If you use fine or medium-fine grind; coffee some coffee ground sediment may seep through to your drink. Medium still may seep through, best to use inverted methodGives a more bolder lingering taste if you’re into that. May not be for those looking for a more cleaner tasteBest when used inverted method-Pros:Re-usable. Don’t have to replace new filter every timeEco friendly. Less wasteCan create natural froth: fill coffee to 3 marker, lift up passed 4 marker, then instantly push down full force (careful not to hurt yourself and/or damage mug)-Cons:Extra clean up. Need to wash. For paper filter, you can just dispose with used coffee groundsBe mindful last step. If you’re used to just plopping out coffee grounds and filter after use, must remember to remove filter firstCareful not to lose or misplace. Can save money overtime (vs paper filter) unless you constantly lose it

It's a challenge to issue a blanket statement that this filter is bad. For 99.9% of coffee drinkers I've met throughout my life, this filter is bad. I have met a single coffee drinker that wanted coffee colored water flavored water. This is perfect for him, as the water will just rush through it and absorb absolutely no flavor.
There are some comments suggesting an invert brew process, this is both irresponsible from a consumer-to-consumer standing and just not actually a solution. The solution is the manufacturer actually develops a product instead of paying an intern to gin it up in SolidWorks and then off to the races with production.
Whatever percentage of the "filter" I have covered with polyimide tape there transforms it into a mostly functional item though it adds a not insignificant amount of resistance plunging the coffee. IF AeroPress spent more than 30 seconds on product development (this is assumed to not be the case) the assumption is that time was spent making it easy to plunge rather than making it actually work.
There is relatively little room in my perceptions to be more even-handed on their product development team but they brought it most of the way there. There isn't much to actually do for product development to bring this to the finish line. Getting rid of the branding, at least where and how it's situated as AeroPress is cut into the surface of the filter, would be the solid step forward. It's almost certainly a petty nitpick, but they aren't entirely clean edges and you're scrubbing and rubbing this thing on a daily basis. By far the most important angle they abandoned or never considered is just actually figuring out your waterflow impedance. There are so many holes in this "filter" and they just immediately pass through any amount of liquid poured in that it obviously needs more testing. I'm unsure, but the assumption is these parts are stamped. Stamping tiny holes is cumbersome, I'm not oblivious to the challenges but they must be overcome to actually be a marketable product.
A typical, modern corporation would have (and should have per shareholders) manufactured 2-5 different impedance "filters" and sold them individually at this same price point - knowing for damn sure people are going to end up needing multiples to find their brew. They didn't do this. A moral corporation from yesteryear would have designed the same 2-5 impedance filters and thrown them in the same packaging with no or marginal price change. This is , obviously also, not the case. They do have a restricted flow filtration cap, a cap they charge $25 for. So then, clearly, that is VITAL to this metal filter. If it's vital to this filter, it should probably be included. It is not, though it is sold in a bundle together. This isn't a review of that flow control filtration cap nor did I buy it or was it clear when ordering the metal filter that I'd have impotent coffee without this. This is a minor annoyance. I consider this to be a gamble, investing in owning any of their products.
There isn't a lot to talk about. I've covered the actual user experiences I've had. I'm now going to actually just throw shade at AeroPress. I stand by the above as being more fair than not, and I'm baffled by the overwhelmingly positive reviews. If you read farther, I stand by it as being an irate outburst at a mostly harmless company just trying to get you quick and easy coffee and I would favor you take it as entertainment than a negative towards the product.
"Keep Pressing: Designed for use with AEROPRESS coffee makers, our metal filter is an alternative to paper filters for those who enjoy a fuller bodied cup of coffee; Get consistent, grit-free results no matter what brand or blend you use"
This is what I'd call a Product Description As Lies.
There is no fuller bodied cup of coffee, there is colored water. There is no consistent, grit free results - the holes are gigantic and even at a large granule grind I have pure silt at the bottom of my mug. Because the filter just flushes fluid through too rapidly. This is not an alternative to paper filters, you should either buy those instead or get an actual french press.
"Fuller Bodied Coffee - The reusable AEROPRESS metal filter allows oils to pass through for a somewhat fuller-bodied cup of coffee, whereas the paper micro-filter keeps out those oils for a cleaner flavor profile"
They double down on their fuller bodied coffee here. They think it's so much fuller bodied they need to mention it twice. Despite making coffee colored water. If those oils are beneficial to any flavor palette, it's wasted with this filter regardless.
"About AEROPRESS: Smart design and creativity have always been the heart of what we do, and we are now squarely focused on inspiring even more coffee lovers around the world to revolutionize their coffee routine; Designed in Silicon Valley, Made in the USA, Materials used in AEROPRESS coffee makers are free of BPA and phthalates"
I'm offended by this entire snippet of product description. They made a filter that filters nothing out, while declaring smart design as being central to their culture. Being BPA and phthalates free is neato burritos, if you aren't applying polyimide and silicone adhesive into the "filter" to make it a filter. Also please don't. One it's expensive tape, I have it because I'm weird. Two it's a silicone adhesive. They're both extremely resistant to heat, well over what I'm brewing coffee at, but hey don't voluntarily contaminate foods/drinks with these. In short, my design is also terrible but I needed a flipping cup of coffee and was PRESSED for time.
I'm done with my meandering efforts to convey that this product isn't for you. I hate paper filters, I think you should also have an opposition to paper filters. I strongly suggest you stick with paper filters for your AeroPress, or buy a french press.
