Review: 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.
Review: 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).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sturdy and compact.
*by M***O on November 16, 2024*

I purchased for our RV. First time using this pour over gadget . My husband likes instant coffee I’d prefer fresh coffee, this is perfect. I was worried it would be flimsy but it’s not. Love that it folds away and easy to clean: And being its in an RV I wanted to use coffee filters for easy cleanup not wanting coffee grinds going into my grey tank from rinsing out a metal coffee filter. I normally use course ground coffee for my percolator coffee pot but ran out so I used really fine coffee grounds that I found in my kitchen . I would recommend not using really fine coffee grounds, I did notice some grounds in my coffee. Not the pour over coffee cones fault more the coffee filter. Just a heads up. I’m very happy with this purchase.
