Brod & Taylor Pour Over Coffee Dripper

Pretty decent pour over system
Preface this with, I am not a coffee snob. I can tell good coffee from cheap coffee, but I’m not a “I need this brewed at 187° for 165 seconds with 24g of coffee bean” kinda snob. That being said, I like this pour over system. It’s straight forward, makes coffee comparable to the French press I was using, and it’s a breeze to clean.Pro:Simple clean up. I usually just rinse it out afterwards and let it dry. Hit it with soap on occasions.Two part construction (I hold the black plastic and push on the drain with my thumb) once again makes clean up easy. Unless you submerge it, I don’t really see why you’d need to take it apart often.No plastic touching the coffee! I was looking in to some other pour over systems and it seems most are glass or plastic. While glass is fine, I’m always leery of pouring near boiling water in plastic I’m going to eventually drink from. If you find a stainless system they’re usually pretty expensive. This was cheap and I can easily toss it in a camping backpack without worrying about breakage.Cons:Not great for large cups. This makes about 8oz coffees. If that’s what you drink, this is great. Fits on standard 8oz coffee mugs just fine. I usually like to drink 10-12oz out of novelty mugs. If your favorite mug is wider than about 4 inches, this won’t work. If you want more than 8oz of coffee, it does take longer as you’ll have to refresh the water while it’s draining. Still quicker than my French press.Paper filters are nothing to write home about. It’s a pro they include them, but they’re pretty cheap and thick. I always rinse them before using them. They’re not terrible enough to buy new filters before I use these, but they’re not greatOverall, I’m digging this little system. Makes good enough coffee for me, and the clean up is excellent. Just wish it had a slightly bigger 12-16oz size

Works great. Stainless steel funnel 👍🏼
The product is easy to use. There is no mesh lining inside, so it won’t get clogged up overtime. It’s a steel funnel with holes at the bottom. The size of the funnel is good. The outer layer keeps your hands off of the funnel. It came with a bunch of filters. It’s easy to clean. The process of making coffee is faster than a steel mesh, which gets clogged over time with tiny microscopic coffee particles. This funnel is simply doing the job of keeping your coffee filter in a cone shape and the holes at the bottom are big enough that they will never get clogged. So, the speed at which you can create, the coffee is faster than usual steel mesh funnel, which has been used for a couple of times.I would recommend this and would rebuy if needed. However, I do wish that the outer layer was also made out of metal or it just had a circular disk at the bottom so that it can be placed on top of a cup. I actually just might try to find a stainless deal disk that I could use to hold the funnel to use it without the outer layer. We’ll see.
