Pour Over Coffee Dripper, Stainless Steel Pour Over Coffee Filter, Paperless Pour Over Coffee Maker Set, Reusable Double Layer Cone Coffee Filter with Removable Dripper Stand, Single Cup Brew 1-2 Cup

Two-part design
The cone section is separated from the base, which is interesting and not necessary. When you remove the cone, the base has three skinny wires that you have to use to grip it with. So that if you start to over fill the water, because you can’t see through the base, you have to hold onto the wires to set it on another cup to catch the overflow. It has a good flow rate and is stainless, a plus, but awkward design.

Well made
No longer need to buy cone filters. Easy to use easy to clean. No clog fast flow thru filter. Well made.

Awesome for a quick cup
I have a french press. I have a moka pot. I’ve had a pod maker. All of them have been fine for one reason or another, but for a basic cup of coffee, pour over is such a great way to make it. This dripper is great. It creates the proper flow for a rich, solid cup of coffee. It’s very easy to clean as it’s not a mesh cage but a stamped strainer, so the surface is much easier to keep clean than others. The silicone grip makes it easy to handle when hot. The best part is no more paper cones!

A really well made drip coffee maker with a fine mesh that produces a strong flavour.(In the package, you’ll receive the drip filter, the filter stand, and a cleaning brush. )I like the thoughtful design to ensure you don’t burn yourself in the process of using it: The orange tab is made of silicone to ensure that you can lift it up safely by minimizing the heat transfer when making your coffee, while the bottom of the stand is encased in a plastic ring so you can hold it in a safe manner.The funnel-shaped filter has a really good size (3.5″ x 3.5″) and should be large enough to make 2 cups of coffee. The bottom of the funnel is enclosed so water is prevented from going straight through, and instead, is diverted towards the side where the mesh filter is.Overall, I think it works well, is reusable and easy to clean.

I used to use a V60 frequently back in the day when I preferred filtered coffee, but ever since I’ve switched to using a coffee press, it’s made things more convenient. This dripper is obviously more similar to a V60 in design, but the quality of taste is closer to that of smooth and well extracted coffee from a press.The real question is how porous the filter or screen is. With a standard paper filter, depending on the grading, the pores are generally very small, allowing the water to sit with the coffee for longer, resulting in a better extraction. Better extractions can sometimes have a more bitter or acidic taste, and be mistakened for “burned coffee”. With a larger metallic pore, the water doesn’t sit for as long, resulting in a poorer extraction, albeit with more of the finer components intact because of the lack of filter. In this this case, what that basically boils down to is a pour-over french press with a finer screen.Fortunately, the taste is comparable to a smoother pressed coffee IF you slow down the pouring process by using a gooseneck kettle for example. It can get a bit complicated, but it basically comes down to temperature, surface area and time. With a V60 design, you need to SLOW down the pouring of hot water in order get a better extraction. If you continue pouring into what essentially becomes a coffee “soup” in the funnel, you’ll get a smoother and bolder taste because the grounds have a chance to “swim” around, presenting more surface area for extraction. Compare that to a press where they’re all just crammed together and can’t move. Therein lies the real difference. The slower you pour, constantly introducing hot water into the soup, the more consistent the water temperature, and combined with the higher surface area….better extraction. Voila?So yeah, now you know the secret. If you use a kettle that can pour slowly (combined with a good bean of course), you’ll always get better tasting coffee. And for me, this thing definitely takes me back to my V60 days, at least in terms of the mechanics. You’ll definitely get less silt than with a press, but slightly more than with a paper filter. Cleaning takes about as long as a press too, but since you can tap the funnel on the side of your disposal/composter to get more grounds out, you get less going down the drain so that’s a plus. I can’t tell you how many coffee press glasses I’ve broken over the years, so metal trumps glass every time when it comes to durability. Just be gentle with your cleaning brush on the pores.Overall, I have to say that it’s a welcome addition to the routine. Since I’m not one for using paper filters anymore, it essentially provides the nostalgia of a V60, but with a taste I’ve become more familiar with. Storage is a bit cumbersome because of the larger profile I won’t lie, but sometimes I like to take time when preparing my coffee on weekends so this will do nicely. 4.5/5 stars from me.

I was originally worried this mesh would not be fine enough since the “pattern” from the listing looks like it has some sizeable holes, and the actual product also looked like that. However upon closer inspection, the inner of the filter looks like there’s a fine layer over it that only shows when you’re seeing it at an angle.We don’t have a separate grinder at home, well we did have one hand grinder that broke after a few uses, so we used the grinder of our Breville machine set to the coarsest setting (16). I was worried that it would still not be fine enough but it worked well and no grinds ended up in my mug. We used 18g of beans and followed usual pour over instructions – pour hot water coating the grinds and allow it to bloom for a minute, then pour in the rest of the water slowly in circular motions, stopping when the filter was almost full and waiting for it to drain before pouring again.The coffee turned out tasting great! It is a bit annoying having to clean it though compared to using a disposable paper filter. I spooned out the contents as much as I could before rinsing it off and using the included brush to get any leftover grinds. Since the bottom is very narrow our spoon still leaves a good chunk of it inside, and I’m quite worried about the remaining grinds clogging up my sink if we use it too often. Using a paper filter inside this would help but then defeat the purpose of owning a reusable filter, so that’s not something we’re going to explore.
