      I mean I could be mistaken, but it looks like they just did?

      Usually adding a paper filter like that will reduce the fines that make their way through the metal filters, so you get a cleaner cup. Moka is already a stronger and heartier brew, so removing some fines would likely make for a smoother cup. Also could potentially increase the pressure, even just slightly, so can grind just a hair coarser.

        Yes, all of the above. The aeropress filters fit pretty well in to the upper size moka pots like my (4 cups I believe). You just wet it to top part’s mesh screen at the bottom before screwing it on. James Hoffman has a good video on the moka pot and this process!
