Aeropress Micro-Filters

Exclusively designed for use with AeroPress Original, Go and Clear coffee makers, our paper micro-filters are an essential part of the brewing process. High quality paper absorbs bitter tasting oils while micro-sized holes filter and catch fine particles, stopping them from passing into the cup. Unlike French press coffee brewers, they allow for finer ground coffee and ensure a consistently smooth, grit-free cup of coffee. Not compatible with AeroPress XL coffee maker.

Curio Spice - Bonga Spice 1.4 Oz

Contains: Chilies, coriander, cumin, koseret, besobela (basil), turmeric, black cardamom, nigella, parsley, garlic. This green, piquant blend is inspired by the fertile, leafy countryside of Bonga, Ethiopia where we source herbs and spices from a women’s cooperative. While different from traditional Ethiopian blends, it’s anchored in iconic flavors like koseret (a lemony herb) and besobela (a type of basil). Rub onto chicken, beef, or veggies for mildly hot, lively flavor. Use to season lentils or sautéed greens. Great for marinating too!
