fwiw, those paper filters are reusable many times without degradation. Even just using them 2-3 times, you'd be using less than an A4 sheet worth of paper over a month. Does that really move the needle in terms of waste? I mean, we probably throw away many times that on food packaging every day...

Yes, and the inventor said he went with paper instead of metal because it tastes better and doesn’t allow sediment into the cup.
Trying both I came to the same conclusion. I reuse a filter ~5 times. Bonus: you don’t need to “burn” the filter every time to remove paper taste, and after a rinse you can just leave it in the filter holder to dry so it’s ready to go immediately.

They are also compostable.

I was impressed that Aeropress actually recommends reusing the paper filters.
