Primula Brew Buddy Portable Pour Over, Reusable Fine Mesh Filter, Dishwasher Safe, Single Cup of Coffee or Tea at Any Strength, Ideal for Travel or Camping, 404.88 milliliters, Red

Easy to use AND easy to clean.
We bought two Brew Buddy single serve mesh filters to try out before considering them as gifts for the coffee drinkers in our life. After using them we have some thoughts:Overall we like them, a lot!These little gems have worked like a dream! The grinds dump right out of them cleanly; there are a few grinds left, but let’s be honest, that is the nature of the beast! The Brew Buddy sclean right up with some hot water and detergent. There are no open seams for grinds to get caught in and the dark color of the mesh keeps it from getting that dingy look white mesh tends to get from repeated exposure to coffee.We have not used a lot of flavored coffee in the Brew Buddy, we just don’t roll that way, but the mesh hasn’t held a coffee aroma at all.We have tried other pour over style coffee setups and they have been decent. But, some of them have (or should I say, had) white mesh and it has taken on a rather stained appearance over time. And some are hard to use with a mega-sized mug. Or they involve a “hard” filter, or a carafe of some sort, or both. All of which can make traveling with them a bit daunting or just not possible. (You know the result of that, right? You’re stuck with either a really pricey coffee of whatever passes for coffee where you are, neither of which is ideal!)The way the plastic on the Brew Buddy (AKA little mesh basket of caffeine handiness) is shaped keeps steam dripping back into the cup and not rising out of the sides of the filter to prematurely cool your brew. That is so nice, because, you know, some days you just don’t get to brew and consume. Some days life intervenes. With the Brew Buddy you can buy a few more minutes of nice hot coffee without a reheat (it’s never as good that way) or suffering the lukewarm coffee experience.The Brew Buddy also stores pretty flat so it’s easy to transport. I would suggest a plastic zip top bag to carry it in. You can count on a great coffee experience pretty much anywhere with these. Just pack some of your favorite ground bean or tea (it works marvelously for loose tea, too!!!) in a travel container, along with the Brew Buddy and you’re all set to meet adventure with properly caffeinated confidence!The diameter of the Brew Buddy allows it to be used on just about any diameter mug, you would have to have and extraordinarily wide mug for these not to work for you.It’s perfect for just about any size mug, short, tall, wide or narrow. Your coffee pleasure shouldn’t be limited by the mug you’re handed, no matter where you’re imbibing!I think the coffee drinkers on our gift list will be finding one of these in their presents!

Durable, easy to clean, eco-friendly, no waste, perfect for travelers and other things besides coffee!
I love this filter and take it with me everywhere! You can clean this filter innumerably and the mesh is fine enough for fine grounds of coffee, tea, and herbs. I usually don’t use soap to clean this – just water, but if you used it to make, say, a garlic ‘tea’ or something like that – you could use dishwashing liquid to clean this and it will eliminate the smell without affecting the taste of the next thing you brew through it, because it’s a completely washable nylon mesh! I got hooked on this method of brewing coffee after having chorreador brewed coffee in Costa Rica (where they have a small wooden stand with a reusable cloth filter hanging from the top where they pour hot water, and then the coffee drips…quickly…through the cloth ‘sock’ and into a wooden coffee cup sitting on the stand). I have to have my coffee, so if I am traveling anywhere – this is a small, convenient and portable, eco-friendly (one cup at a time equals no waste!) and reusable solution to ensure I can brew myself whatever I want! The ‘lip’ is wide enough to fit on slightly wider-mouthed mugs as well – bonus! (Read: mugs, not bowls!) If it had a small and thin carrying case and a small attached container for used grounds/herbs, etc, I would definitely give it that extra star! I love to travel, and would love to have a carrying case specifically for this filter and for used grounds.

I drink way more tea than coffee, but every once in a while I want a coffee. I used to use instant coffee until a friend gave me a one cup coffee maker, 12, almost 13 years ago now. It has been great, but it gave out on me last week. I was looking on Amazon for one cup coffee makers and I saw this. I like it because it’s low tech. You don’t have to plug anything in. You don’t have a lot of parts to clean like you might have with a coffee maker. (It takes up less counter space, too). You get 2 in the package, so if something happens to one, you have the other as a backup. It is easy to rinse clean. Having tried it, the coffee tastes just as good as if it were brewed in a coffee maker. I really do love it. What a great idea!

Works great!

Compre el filtro específicamente para hacerme té (con café no lo he probado) y estoy muy satisfecha con mi compra, con los infusores convencionales sufría un poco de que si los ingredientes del té venían muy pulverizados siempre sobrenadaban en la taza, no lograba extraer todo el sabor y limpiarlos dependiendo del infusor me daba batalla…. Con este filtro estoy muy contenta, no se le escapa nada, el sabor que extrae es total, es muy sencillo y básico de utilizar, y además súper fácil de limpiar ! Lo recomiendo totalmente para preparar tés e infusiones 😉 sin duda volvería a comprarlo ! Llego bien empaquetado y mucho antes de lo estimado, estoy muy contenta …
