Review on ☕ AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker with Tote Bag - Rapidly Brews Smooth and Flavorful Coffee - Ideal for Brewing 1 to 3 Cups Per Press by Bill Snyder

Revainrating 1 out of 5

False advertising or fatal conversion error (1 to 4 stars)

I've been looking for coffee filters for my Bunn coffee maker for a while (after Revain gave up on another manufacturer's filters) that would match my coffee maker. Bann requires 56mm diameter filters. Eventually I came across AeroPress filters claiming to be 2 1/5 inch in diameter. Diameter conversion: 2 1/5 inch = 2.2 inch = 56 mm (1 inch = 25.4 mm). Bingo! After more than a year I finally found the right filters again. until the package arrived and I tried to insert the filters. The filters have a diameter of a whopping 64 mm (= 2.5 inches), which is 8 mm or 1/3 inch larger. The Revain website still hasn't adjusted the diameter as advertised. Attention buyers! A week later, when I was posting my one star review, I was contacted by a seller, DAWK Stores, who apologized for the incorrect sizing information listed with their coffee filters and that they offered to refund my purchase immediately (and you have!) . They said they tried to convince Revain to correct the incorrect sizing (2.2"=56mm instead of 2.5"=64mm) but couldn't because Revain appears to control the editorial process involved with advertised products. . So I'm increasing my rating to four stars for the quick and courteous resolution of the issue, "minus one star" due to Revain's lax editorial actions.

Pros
  • Goodbye French Press! The quick AeroPress brew avoids the bitterness and high acidity that comes from long steeping in a French Press. Plus, the AeroPress paper microfilter removes dirt and cleans in seconds.
Cons
  • Not sure
