I tried another type of pour over cone a couple years ago that used paper filters and it took forever to make coffee. This double layered all metal filter works much better. I find I need to grind the coffee a bit more than suggested but it makes great coffee and it makes it fast.
I just started doing the "Pour Over Coffee" way of making coffee. My son had a plastic cone that used filters and I thought that the coffee that he made with that was good but then I saw this and thought I would give it a try. (I wanted to eliminate the step of buying and using the paper filters.)
Amazing coffee with this filter! In fact, I just ordered another one today so that I would always have one ready to go! Thank you for this fine product!
The large one can brew a carafe but you'd need to be careful not to allow water or coffee to overflow over the rim. Follow the directions to time the pour correctly for the best flavor bouquet. You will soon find out how much better coffee is with all the oils present in the flavor. Also you can use less coffee for more flavor. No waste and easy clean up. Couple extra steps vs a push button but no BPA plastic to ruin the flavor or give you estrogen mimicking hormones. Makes you feel like a "brewologist" too.
More than anything this simplifies my coffee life! A quiet morning of me and my coffee. No plastic touching my coffee, no carafe or paper filters to worry about. And, because I make it one mug at a time, the coffee's always hot.
I especially like the fact that the strainer part separates from the holder, which not all of these style pour-over cones do, and so there is less to break, crack, bend, and a bit less even to wash.
Thanks for bringing simplicity back to my coffee morning, Brewologist.
What a great idea, this pour over cone is stainless steel so doesn't get as mucky as plastic and it's easy to clean. The construction is sturdy so it's a great option for travelers too. Worth the cost because it will last a long time and no paper cones needed anymore. The pour over also makes a robust cup of coffee, you won't need to use more coffee to get a strong cup so we have actually been saving on coffee cost too.
I was not expecting this product to be that different from any other filter/cone method of making a cup of coffee. But to my surprise, this filter really does make a much better cup of coffee. Easy to use, easy to clean, completely satisfied.
Yes, this pour over filter delivers. I think it is even better than in in-store pour over at Starbucks. Kudos to Brewologist, they delivered, and I'm happy...finally. This product produces a deep, flavorful, and most of all -- SMOOTH-- deep bodied cup of coffee (that is not too bold), with acceptable hassle. Also, easy to clean. Therefore 5 stars.
Before trying this product, I really tried so may different methods: regular brewed (to much time), K-cups (regular), K-cups (personal cup i.e. grind your own and put in with custom k-cup reusable filter), and regular filter with cone pour-over. Every other method had some drawback, mostly not enough flavor or too messy in the end.
