I have a steel mesh filter for my aliexpress knockoff aeropress.
The convenience of not having to use pre-cut paper filters, outweigh the negatives. I'm a coffee noob so I never noticed the oily-ness of running a metal filter.
Finally bought a bag of robusta beans to make cà phê sữa đá, but it's gonna be a while before I can get to it. Family keeps buying coffee even though we've got enough beans to start a coffee shop
I still have half a bag of beans from the Philippines that I've been rationing.
