Primula Brew Buddy Portable Pour Over, Reusable Fine Mesh Filter, Dishwasher Safe, Single Serve Coffee or Tea at Any Strength, Ideal for Travel or Camping, Red, 2-Pack

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!

Ordered these to make my coffee each morning on a long motorcycle camping trip. I'd just boil water with coffee grounds in the pot, then pour through this into my cup and drink. They filter very well and rinse (and pack) easily. Great option and cheaper (and take up less space) than other 'fancy' camping options. Save your money and get these.

I Liked this product, I will use for travel when I went to bring my own coffee And don't want to haul around my Keurig. 😋 The process is easy and It works fine. Not sure it would do well for someone who likes very strong coffee (unless they let it steep). It is Flat, easy to pack. Easy to clean, best if you just let the coffee grinds dry before emptying! The only drawback - of the two pack that I brought, One had tiny holes at the bottom. This allowed the dredges of my coffee to fall into the cup. For the price, I'm not upset but will only use one.

I bought one of these years ago when I was going to be in a situation where I wasn't going to have a coffee pot, but could get hot water. Kept it even though I started using other methods. Needed it again and couldn't find it so I bought another. Took awhile to figure out the right keywords, but I wasn't giving up. Everything that was popping up was either Keurig type pods or overly complicated similar items. Was so happy when I found the same exact one. Ring that sits on your mug, mesh pouch. That's all you need. A glorified sock (only hard core coffee lovers that have been in absolutely desperate situations will understand lol) Makes good coffee. (I fill it up with water and then pour slowly.) Small enough to pop in a resealable plastic bag and stick in a purse or backpack.

This filter is wonderful!!! Its easy to clean and its sturdy and just the right size for my cups. I anticipate having it a long time. It gets the job done.

We use these all the time for my daily use Coffee filters, love the Mesh, easy to use & clean, hardly any grinds ever get through, a must have if you do your coffee this way by pouring over your grinds, tastes great.

Kind of slow. Hot water becomes just warm. I like to burn my tongue with my first sip of coffee but this doesn't quite do it for me. Good for emergencies but not for me every day. Sorry.

It is a great functional coffee filter! It is the quality construction I was looking for. The filter pocket is not flimsy. It is easy to empty the used grounds out. The coffee tastes good. It does leave a small amount of sludge in the bottom of the cup. I don't mind because it is a small amount and everything else about this works so well.
