Fellow is a company that continues to innovate in the coffee industry, and today we are looking at one of their beloved products called the Prismo. This attachment is built for the Aeropress, and it is specifically designed to build higher pressures with a fine grind, in order to create a beverage closer to a traditional espresso found on an espresso machine!
Whether you are new to coffee, or if you are an experienced barista looking for new coffee tools, join me as I make some coffee with the Fellow Prismo and we will see how it compares to the real thing!

At first I was disappointed in the Prismo for espresso-like results but gave it another try on a holiday where I wanted to travel light. I noticed that I get better results if I go even finer than my usual espresso grind size for my Cafelat Robot. This allowed me to apply more pressure and the extraction time increased, with a very tasty result. I also had no lasting crema to speak of and it's less thick, so it's not the same but can be close enough to imitate espresso, especially as a portable solution. Going too fine, however, will make it muddy, so it's important to dial it in correctly, but that doesn't need to be as precise as with regular espresso, so any grinder that can go fine enough, even if it's lacking precision steps, will work.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I definitely want to try again, on a finer grind

Can you use the aero press original metal filter with the prismo doing the inverted method?

@Mikey-ym6ok Жыл бұрын

No. It needs a rubber gasket. Or else it’ll leak out the sides and get a muddy coffee. Because the bottom isnt flat flat. I tried but it needs the fellow filter unfortunately. But it does make sense.

Do you know how does Prismo compare to just using a metal filter on the default Aeropress seal?

In terms of filter performance they'd be similar if the mesh size is the same. Fellow has done a good job on the filter as far as I can tell. I haven't tried other metal filter brands for the regular aeropress attachment. But remember the key benefit of Prismo is that it seals until pressure is applied. Very different usage
