Great brand, great product
We love bodum products. This is the smaller version of the pour over we already had. Size wise, the smaller one works for one or two people. It works the same and looks great. The glass thickness is perfect. Thick enough to be sturdy but not too thick to be heavy. The coffee produced tastes wonderful. Great product however I do agree with the other reviews about the photos-the listing should reflect the actual product. The filter basket received in the mail did not match the one shown in the photos. It had more plastic. I would have preferred the one in the photo! It was in retail packaging so would be a nice gift.

Filter not as pictured? Brewer is great!
I ordered the small 17oz Bodum brewer for days that I just want a few cups of coffee and for travel. The brewer is great! Itâs the mini version of my 34oz Bodum. Iâm disappointed that the filter that came with the 17oz is not the fully stainless steel as pictured. The filter included is the original plastic and mesh. These days I prefer to keep my plastic usage to a minimum. So beware if you order this brewer from Amazon. I just ordered the fully stainless steel filter for the 17oz Bodum from another retailer. For anyone interested itâs $8.00. Hopefully Amazon will correct the image to reflect the correct filter!

Nice pour over with an interesting, satisfying design.
I’ve had several Bodum products in the past. They make quality glassware that can handle the heat, as well as small appliances like the coffee grinder I own. This pour over has a nice round shape I appreciate. The silicone collar is a great insulator and it all allows for a bit more appreciation of your morning coffee.I don’t always prefer a pour over, as I own other coffee machines that are bit less involved, but it can create a coffee with unique flavor. At 17 oz, it doesn’t produce a ton, but it’s nice for a personal, morning drink. Since the glass is quality, it’s easy to clean – as are the rest of the materials. My only slight gripe is that the filter is not quite as nicely made as I would have liked. The thick black plastic ribs cheapens it a bit. Of course, you only look at it while pouring over. Once removed for serving, it’s no longer an issue.Fun shape, great quality. What’s not to love?

Great for travel, easy to use, easy to clean up
I usually make coffee using a Bodum french press, but once in a while, I have the motivation to work on my pour over technique. A while ago, I bought a Hario V60 pour over set. I had a tough time mastering the technique, but mostly I think it was because my coffee grounds were not fine enough. Once I upgraded my grinder, I was able to get more consistent fine grounds, but I didnât have the motivation to try pour over again.I decided to try out this pour over set from Bodum. It is half the size (34 vs. 17 fl. oz.) that my french press is. I have to be in the mood for a smaller amount of coffee if I want to use this set. One change from the Hario is that this has a permanent metal filter. That is, it doesnât require the use of pre-shaped filter paper. Thatâs good and bad. The good is that more oils end up in the coffee, imparting a flavor close to a french press coffee than a pour over coffee. The bad is that the oils can be detrimental for people who are watching their fat intake for health reasons. I donât think this would be an issue for anyone who has just a cup or two of coffee a day.Using the pour over is exceedingly simple: 1. Grind two heaping scoops (scoop included) of beans, 2. Boil water, 3. Put the grounds in the permanent filter, 4. Slowly pour the water over the grounds. Iâm still working on tweaking my pour over technique (ground size, timing of water pour), but Iâm not that precise, and I donât care to be too precise with my coffee.Clean up is a breeze: Just remove the filter, dump the grounds, and wash everything off. Itâs easier than the cleanup after making a french press coffee.

Plastic parts not stainless steel
I was excited to try this Bodum Pour Over Coffee Maker, mostly because it didn’t contain plastic parts. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I’m a health conscious person and try my best to stay away from using items made of plastic (especially ones that come in contact with heat) whenever possible due to xenoestrogens and other health concerns. I thought this would have been a great replacement for my 5 year old Chemex pour over that is starting to look a bit worn, but I think I will just stick with it for now.

Good quality, strainer does not match the one pictured
I like this pour over coffee maker a lot. It is very elegantly designed, easy to clean, and makes an excellent cup of coffee. Other than that, it is a very simple design like any other pour over coffee maker. My only complaint is that the permanent filter as shown on the product page does not contain plastic whereas the actual product is largely made of plastic. This is very disappointing as I try to avoid having my food come in contact with plastic, especially hot food or liquid. Overall, I like this product but I strongly feel that the product images should be updated to reflect the actual product.
