    I would think that the paper filter would strip too much of the teas dissolved solids from the brew = not a good thing.

    Unless you make a suitable mesh filter.
    Thats kinda what I thought, might muck around with the mesh idea.

    I tried it once and it didnt seem to catch all the leaves.
    ie some got past the filter.

    There are holes on the sides of the filter cap as well as those covered by the paper.
    Havent had an issue with that, I figure if ground coffee doesnt get through then tea leaves shouldnt.

    Aeropress for tea brewing

    Just a thought I had yesterday when I was at a market not selling much coffee (consistent rain). Does anyone use the aeropress for brewing leaf tea?

    Had a quick go this morning no measuring of anything and I was pretty happy with the result. The main reason I dont drink more leaf tea is the washing up at the end (tea bags are just too convenient). There may be an issue with the paper filter but I would love to know if anyone else is doing this and what their methods are?

    Cheers
