Yeah, it’s actually great, and I wasn’t going to buy one of the many knock-offs from eBay, but why the price tag? It’s a bit of wire bent into a cone shape. Real coffee out on the hills though, that’s something. Would recommend.

Excellent, easy to use
Thus product is well made. I bought it for the compact size to use in my day camping kit. It is sturdy, easy to pack and undo for use. I will buy another one.

The best drip coffee maker.
I like this coffee maker much better than the MSR silicon unit. It’s much lighter and easier to clean. It works best with filters that come to a point at the bottom instead of a square. I found these filters (Hario 2) on Amazon and they work much better than others I find in grocery stores.This unit is the smallest and lightest I have found. After receiving it I bought my son one and he quit using his MSR. Hario 02 100-Count Coffee Natural Paper…UPDATE: After using for more than a year I have stopped using it. This smooth spring sitting on top a stainless steel mug slides off very easy while pouring water into the filter. I have to hold the spring with one hand and pour with the other. I have spilled several cups and if you forget you filters home you will have NO coffee. I have been using “My Coffee Buddy” regular now and it works fine. No filters needed & very stable. I don’t get coffee grinds but you may get a little coffee dust.

Outstanding Pour Over Brewer
I own a number of pour over brewers from Hario, Chemex, Clever, Kalita and Rok. This one is THE BEST because it makes the most consistent high quality brews. The fact that it has very little mass allows more heat to stay in the grounds rather than allowing heat to be constantly transferred to the body of the brewer. More consistent heat means a more consistent extraction. You could say the best brewer is no brewer. And this is as close to no brewer as you can get without a truly rube goldberg type of arrangement with lab equipment and bungee cords. Yes I’m that guy.The unit is high quality and imparts no flavor. It’s very light and portable. It’s easy to clean. And it reminds me of a slinky. 🙂 You can use the smaller or larger Hario cone filters in it. The larger size, 02, may be a bit easier to finagle into position. Design-wise it’s minimalist in a Marie Kondo fashion.Yes, this is the pour over brewer you are looking for.

So cool AND it works!
Great, very functional and awesome when space is at a premium. I am a vanlifer and I need items that do their job and take as little space as possible, this fits the bill. BTW backpackers, this is super lightweight

it doesn’t slip off the jar, or mug, or whatever
I bought this for camping. I have quite a few coffee drippers: a Chemex, a glass V60, a ceramic V60, a stainless steel V60 with fine mesh (so you’re not supposed to need a filter). They all work great except for that last one (which is horrible – it gets clogged after every use no matter the grind and no matter how well you clean it). But, all of those are too bulky for camping, so I wanted to try this one out. And I’ve got to say, it’s perfect. It’s light, it’s compact, and it does the job well. I even use the same 02 V60 filters that I use for everything else. Also, I never brew just one cup at a time (my wife and I drink at least a cup and a half each), meaning when I make coffee with this thing I’m making a full pot. That’s right, it can handle large batches so long as you are careful (it’ll drip out the side a bit at first if you don’t start slow. I know it’s just a simply formed piece of stainless steel, but it’s design is perfect and it’s quality is good. And, it’s become a huge improvement to our camping gear. Oh, and it doesn’t slip off the jar, or mug, or whatever. I think that’s due to the 3-leg support design, rather than only having two supports, like I’ve seen on other models (where there were complaints of it slipping off the cup).

Best camping coffee maker
I’ve had this for years now and am just getting around to reviewing. This is a must for any person that enjoys camping or backpacking, or traveling with coffee and not carrying a big setup. This packs down to literally nothing. It takes up next to no space, and it’s perfect for your morning coffee. Durable and easy to use, love this product.
