OVALWARE Paperless Stainless Steel Pour Over Coffee Filter – Reusable and Permanent Coffee Cone Dripper for Ovalware, Chemex, Hario and Other Carafes (Titanium Rose Gold)

The product I purchased was the Ovalware Stainless Steel Pour Over Coffee Filter back in December of 2019. This is a simple pour over coffee filter designed to fit in pour over vessels. It is made of two layers of stainless steel mesh, providing filtration of water through coffee. The perimeter of the filter has a silicone ring that causes it to fit perfectly in my Chemex carafe. This was one of the the solutions for my daily coffee making routine, which was a little different than what I have done previously.My choice to purchase this filter was to determine if permanent filters are as good as paper filters in regards to flavor, time to use and cleanup. Another objective was to see if there is a savings between permanent and what I usually use which is Chemex Classic Coffee Filters, Squares, 100ct.(all prices are at the time I purchased)Ovalware = $19.99, Chemex filters = $12.99$12.99/100 = $0.13/ use$19.99/ $0.13 = 153 filters153 filters means 2 packs of filters @$12.99ea = $25.98I received the item in the box as pictured on the Amazon store page. Inside the box was also a small insert directing the buyer to their website where the product could be registered and more products could be purchased. My first use was the same as all of my other coffee making sessions, except I was using this permanent filter. Proper grind and coffee to water ratio produced an expected filtering (drop) time and the coffee was good. There was no sediment. Cleanup involved dumping the grounds; now I can save them easily for the garden as opposed to picking them out of a filter. Then a rinse under the water followed by towel dry to remove excess water and any oils left behind.Today it has been over 200 days or 2 packs of filters and the Ovalware is still in great shape; this can be seen in the attached photos. The inside seam, which is what I see failed in many reviews, is intact like the day I got it. The outer seam has also maintained. The inner mesh shows no signs of staining and there are no trapped grounds. Depending on the bean, I do use a single regular coffee filter with this; however, this does not affect the drop time. I have over filled the filter (~2.4 ounces), but did not experience any grounds going past the silicon ring into the carafe. I have also fine ground with no issues except increased filter time.I did go to the company’s website to register my product and have not received enough emails from them to unsubscribe. The emails are thoughtful and monthly. I took a look at their other products and, if I ever need any other coffee gear in the future, that is one of the places I would look, as they have everything. They also have some helpful information such as coffee to water ratio and a blog which is a great resource.My final thoughts are that this product has met and exceeded my expectations and needs. This is a high quality product at a very reasonable price. It makes the same tasting coffee that I had made with the paper filters and the cleanup is easy. Keeping filters in stock takes time and prices change; this filter is always there and has lasted over 200 brewing sessions. The silicone ring seats it perfectly in my carafe and allows me to quickly and easily take the filter out right away without burning my fingers. In regards to the math, this absolutely has saved me money and time.

Last year my girlfriend opened my eyes to pour-over coffee, and I purchased the Ovalware RJ3 Drip Kettle. The little thing has been fantastic for me. Not only has it do I get amazing coffee in the morning, pour-over coffee has become a really peaceful addition to my morning routine. ANYWAYS getting back on the point. Noticed that Ovalware released a steel filter (Amazon recommendations.. go figure), so I snatched it up since I was so pleased with my drip kettle. Once again, 10/10 product from Ovalware, I love my new filter, and hopefully I'll never have to deal with the annoying disposable filters any longer!.Don't have another stainless steel coffee filter to compare it to, but been really pleased with the construction and functionality of the stainless steel filter so far:1. Job well done: Don't know what else to say, except that this filter gets the job done! My coffee is still as smooth as ever. The stainless steel doesn't affect the taste of the coffee at all. The mesh is extremely fine and keeps out any coffee grinds from seeping into the coffee. The main difference between this product and a typical disposable filter is that I don't need to deal with tossing a droopy and dripping filter again... this filter feels really durable and I don't expect I will need to replace it any time soon. Another 10/10 product from Ovalware.2. Easy to clean: The one thing that worried me before I purchased, was whether or not I would actually be able to clean the coffee grinds from the small mesh holes in the steel filter. Needless to say, I worried for nothing because cleaning has been extremely easy! All I have to do is transfer my filter over the sink, flip it around and all the coffee grinds pretty much fall out by themselves in one large clump. I keep it flipped over and with a quick rinse and wipe, my filter is as good as new and ready for the next morning. Don't really know the functionality for the silicon rim, but it helps keeps my filter from sliding around when I flip it over to air dry!- Quick tip from a previous reviewer: if you have hard water (which I do at my place), rinse the filter out couple weeks, and it will keep your filter from accumulating any kinds of residue.3. Reusable and green: Wanted to add a 3rd point but cant think of anything else. Fantastic reusable product. Don't plan on replacing this one anytime soon!Highly recommended. Cheers!All things considered, I am genuinely surprised there weren't that many reviews for this product. It is a hands down, solid buy. Highly recommend this product for all coffee enthusiasts!

This filter works great! I was looking for a stainless steel filter to replace the plastic filter that came with my small 17oz Bodum pour over coffee maker. I was worried this filter would be too big but it works perfectly. It does a great job of filtering out any small grounds leaving a smooth taste. It is easy to clean as well. Highly recommend!

We have been using this for over six months and it has been well worth the money. It feels like it’s made from high quality materials, is lightweight and helps make our coffee really smooth. It’s easy to clean, too and has saved us money because we do not buy disposable coffee filters anymore! It is helpful to hold it carefully while you pour coffee from the Chemex, because if it is full some grounds can come out and fall into your cup. But other than that we have been very pleased with this product.

Good product....holding up well

Faz um café encorpado muito bom.

I have a Hario 60 and love my filter coffee in the morning. After trying different paper filters I went for Reusable and Permanent Coffee Cone Dripper.Paper filter:I had to wet the filterIt did not fit snugDrip was slowPaper would sometimes move sideways when pouringWas not cut evenHad a slight taste even if I used the best filtersHad to keep stock not to run outPermanent Coffee Cone Dripper:ReusableFits tightHold very well when pouring hot waterCleans well especially if grains are dryEasy to washCoffee taste is pureDrips faster but Hario I can stop the drip or do the 30sec bloomCan't run out.After reading the info for each suggested filters you can reach your own conclusion.I am sold on the reusable filter.

Sirve excelentemente. Había leído unos comentarios de que no tenías la misma experiencia de calidad y sabor que con los filtros de papel, pero no es real. Yo creo que lo que afecta el sabor del café es la mala calidad del café usado. El filtro queda excelente para la Chemex de 6 tazas.

Such a great money and environment saving product. I find this gives the true taste to my espresso beans rather than the filters which I was using. Easy to clean can go in the dishwasher fine. All in all a great accessory to our chemex.

Der Filter ist wirklich vom Feinsten, handwerklich sauber gearbeitet und im Vergleich mit dem, den ich vorher hatte, im Ergebnis absolut überzeugend. Das Aroma des Kaffees kommt deutlich voluminöser herüber. Schön wäre gewesen, wenn es noch ein kleines Accessoir zum Aufhängen des Filters gegeben hätte. Kritisch ist anzumerken, das, was auch andere zuvor schon moniert haben, sich der Filter, in ausreichend stabiler Kartonage verpackt, warum auch immer, letztlich 'plastiktütenverhüllt' zeigte. Maskenpflicht für Filter? 😕 Dann muss das natürlich sein! 😷
