Fellow Prismo

No, it is an attachment for your existing AeroPress. It screws onto the bottom of the brewing chamber to enable pressure-actuated brewing, but you still need the AeroPress plunger and chamber to brew.

You do not. The Prismo features a built-in 70-micron etched stainless steel filter that eliminates the need for paper filters entirely, which helps retain more of the coffee's natural oils for a fuller body.

The Prismo creates espresso-style coffee by building up pressure, but it does not generate the 9 bars of pressure required for true espresso. It is excellent for making concentrated, syrupy shots that work well as a base for lattes or Americanos.

Yes, the pressure-actuated valve creates a tight seal that prevents coffee from dripping through until you press the plunger. This allows you to perform full immersion brewing without losing any coffee before you are ready to plunge.

It is straightforward to maintain. Because the stainless steel filter is integrated into the cap, you simply rinse it under warm water after each use. For a deeper clean, you can occasionally unscrew the valve components.
