Great coffee dripper
Love this coffee dripper. Very sturdy and well-designed, easy to clean and store. Probably best suited to one cup or mug at a time use, though, or maybe coffee for two.Anyway, with coffee prices going up, I began to regret every quarter to half pot I’d pour down the drain in the afternoon. Some days, I’d want three mug-fulls, other days something would come up and I’d only drink one.I like French press coffee, but it’s often a bother and takes a while to make. I also have a Capresso drip coffee maker — but that was the half pot I kept throwing away. So when we decided to buy an always-on automatic water boiler, the Zojirushi CV-DSC40 VE Hybrid Water Boiler and Warmer, Stainless Steel, intending to use it for coffee, tea, instant soups, and on-demand hot water, I decided to switch to a cup-at-a-time dripper.Didn’t want plastic because they do add an unwanted flavor to coffee and the plastic breaks down over time. Didn’t want porcelain or glass because they suck heat from the water and are breakable, plus they tend to cost a lot more. So I decided to give the SlickDrip a try.I really like the fact it’s collapsible, and therefore perfect to take along for travel or camping. Once dry, you can also just collapse it and throw it in any kitchen drawer (careful though, as it doesn’t look like any kind of coffee dripper cone when in the collapsed position and might be easy to overlook).The silicone rubber means it won’t emit anything into the coffee, and yes, it is dishwasher safe so you can sterilize it occasionally that way. At first I was a little leery about whether it’d be strong enough to hold the coffee, filter, and the dripped water, but it seems fine. The base is sturdy and fits perfectly even over my rather large 17oz mug.For what it’s worth, although they say you can use Number 4 cone filters with this dripper, I can’t see a need for anything larger than a 2. You’re really not going to make more than about 20oz maximum at a time with a dripper this size. Going to the larger filter seems to me just to be a waste of paper.My technique? Filter is empty, in dripper, over my mug. I dispense some water from the boiler (which is set to a resting temperature of 208F — we’re high altitude, so the actual temperature is lower, but still about perfect for coffee) to wet the filter, and warm both the dripper and the mug under it. Swirl the water, throw it away. Put about 2 1/2 scoops of coffee into the now wet filter (appropriate for the approx 16 oz of coffee I make with each serving). Put the boiler into its slow dispense mode and as the other review indicated, just add water a bit at a time to keep the grounds soaked but not soupy. In about 2-3 minutes, I have a full mug of piping hot (but not scalding) delicious coffee.Trying to be ecologically minded, we compost the used grounds and paper filters, which we then use on our gardens.Would I buy this product again? Yes. Would I recommend it to a friend? Also yes, but especially for people who travel but want to brew their own coffee.

Wow, one piece, all silicone, flexible, maintains shape
Love this thing….love love love this thing.A 1 piece, flexible, and tough filter that can pack anywhere? Shoooooot. After using it this past weekend on a car camping trip, I’m now of the opinion that this is useful not only on car camping trips but also for picnics, or even business trips if you’re picky about the coffee you drink.so useful, so compact and simple. So glad I bought it.—-Frankly, there isn’t much more I could write in this review than what’s in the title.It really is an amazing little 1 cup filter.It is flexible, and folds flat through an accordion-like mechanism.The entire filter is one pieceas such, the entire filter is flexible. There are no brittle components that might crack or break.It’s very light.While it’s designed to hold ground coffee and have hot water poured through it, it also works just fine to filter out the grinds from cowboy coffee.Better still, with a #2 filter, it clears out turpidity from water.To purify the water, clear out the turpidity with this little gadget and then I can use a steripen to sterilize any bacteria or viruses in the now clear water.Love this thing and plan to buy more.

Absolutely LOVE these silicone coffee drips.We have used these so much I have recommended them to others who want a nice drip coffee. Combine them with the size 2 cone filters for a perfect cup of coffee.We plan to bring them with us on our trip on the train to make coffee we know we will enjoy.These are easy to use and collapsible, so take up very little space.I highly recommend these for everyone. They would be perfect for those who need a quick cup of coffee at work.If I could give this more than five stars I would.

This is highly likely to do exactly what it says on the tin, and collapse while you are using it. Never leave anyone in charge of it who doesn’t completely understand this or they will probably knock it over.Assuming you can keep it under control, this is an excellent coffee cone. It’s easy to clean and to use, and folds up very conveniently – ideal for the office or camping trips. I keep mine at home, where it takes up next to no space when not in use.It’s good for making coffee one cup at a time. If you want to make jugs of the stuff (or two cups at once), you need a different solution.
