HARIOWoodneck Drip Pot, 240ml, Acacia Wood

This little thing produced the cleanest coffee I ever had even on the first try. I used Blue Bottle medium roast beans, grind 14 grams of coffee beans to medium to fine, water temp at 210 F, and followed the Hario instruction to make my first cup from this cute elegant drip pot. I was rewarded with a cup of clean, smooth and rich flavor of coffee better than the one I had at Blue Bottle Coffee House itself using same bean. It's been 3 days since I had it. I have tweaked few variables such as water flow, temp, etc each time when used it and liked each result. I will continue experimenting with different beans later.I love everything about it. The pot is well designed, elegant looking, easy to clean and no waste of filter papers. Although the cloth filter needs a little attention to keep it moist when it's not in use, it does not however take much effort. The whole ritual of making my morning coffee is calming and self-reflective and a much preferred way to start off my day.

i normally use a chemex to brew our morning coffee for me and my husband, but decided to get a smaller pot for when i need to make just one cup for myself. while a bit fussy to assemble, take apart and clean, i've learned to love this pot. it makes a clean cup of coffee and is actually easier than the chemex (which takes a lot of practice) to get a good, non-bitter extraction each time. i love that the filter is reusable - i store it in a smaller tupperware after i wash it - a little extra step there to clean and store, but i like the fact that i don't have to waste a filter for just one cup of coffee!

When I drink coffee I want to enjoy every drop. But being somewhat thrifty, while I like to experiment with what will affect the outcome, I typically don't want to invest a lot.This drip pot is the perfect size for me (drink a cup or two per day) and the coffee brewed with the cloth filter is amazing!I had read some articles previously on cloth filters making the coffee taste like socks, or having other issues, but I really would have a hard time going back to a paper filter. The coffee brewed with this filter is so silky and flavorful. The grounds are filtered out, but the oils are able to pass through enough to give the coffee a smooth and flavorful drop.For comparison, I brewed some Target brand coffee my wife was drinking in a more traditional pour over with paper filter. This tasted ok, but when I brewed with this filter, wow she could not believe it was the same coffee! I may have controlled the temperature a bit better than when she had brewed, but still the results were strikingly different.

Purchased this for a friend from Brazil, where this system, albeit a much more provincial version, is commonplace in homes. Be advised that some extra care is necessary with the cloth bag-- namely you need to boil it for a while before using, and Kalita suggests that you also boil it after using to remove residual flavors. Then the bag needs, between brewing sessions, to be stored moist inside a zip-lock bag or similar in the fridge.Is it worth all this fuss? Quite simply, yes. I tried the one out that I bought for my friend and found it to be one of the most satisfactory brewing methods for pourover that I've experienced. It's a method that truly allows the character of the coffee to be fully realized in your cup. It's also a rather nice-looking adaptation of the traditional Brazilian brewing method by Japanese company, Kalita.Definitely give this a try. I'm assuming you've got a 0.1g scale and a decent burr grinder, also, as these are necessary adjuncts to this stylish drip pot in the pursuit of pourover coffee excellence. You could do worse by a long shot.

I loved this little pot. It reintroduced me to the simple, straightforward goodness of the pour over method, after years of automatic drip. It definitely turns making coffee into a more tactile experience from grinding the beans, reattaching the flannel filter to the hoop, warming the pot, to the process of pouring. At first it seemed like a chore, but now it's like a pleasant little ritual, reminding me to be present in the moment for a great cup of coffee. A note on the filter- really, if the coffee oils that saturate the fabric are allowed to oxidize, you will get a really unpleasant odor that will flavor your coffee. Keeping it in a ziplock bag full of water in the fridge, as suggested by other reviewers, is my preferred method. This pot is fragile, and I accidentally tipped it over (set it by the steaming kettle, not my best work) and it shattered. I have little kids so I opted for the sturdy plastic bialetti pour over, and I still use the hoop and filter. Makes for a stronger cup, that's for sure, even though the bianelli has a nice, wide hole in the bottom and doesn't seem to slow the process. But that's part of the fun of making coffee: experimentation. This little pot is worth the experience.

Leather and wood are wearing down only a couple months into usage. Only enough for one cup of coffee. Expensive for what you get.

The glass seems a little cheap and thin. But it serves its purpose as long as you’re careful. Other than the glass, it can be a pain to clean. I’ve had to use a bottle brush to get the the bottom of it. And again be very careful. I feel like it will break just by accidentally tapping it onto something.

The cloth filter is a great, environmentally friendly way to have a fresh cup of drip coffee every morning! Maintenance isn't too difficult: just keep the cloth filter soaked in water in the fridge when not in use. The taste of the coffee comes through smooth as long as the coffee grind is "fine," not too coarse. The product itself is produced in Japan, and shipping took less than three weeks from Tokyo. If you love drip coffee, this is a much better product than the ceramic and acrylic coffee drippers from Clever or Hario.

Thank You!

Da ich in letzter Zeit mehr Pour Over Kaffee zubereite und meine Espressomaschine ausgeschaltet lasse, suchte ich nach einem optisch ansprechenden Pour Over Kaffeezubereiter. Diesen fand ich in diesem Produkt.Wie immer von Amazon gewohnt, kam die Lieferung innerhalb kürzester Zeit, sicher verpackt bei mir an.Der Kaffeezubereiter besteht aus einem nicht zu dicken Glas, einem Hario Baumwollfilter, einem Leder(!)band und zwei Kunststoffhälften, um die Hände vor der Hitze zu schützen. Alles macht für's erste einen qualitativ guten Eindruck.Zubereitung: Zunächst einmal sollte man den Baumwollfilter ordentlich mit heißem oder kochendem Wasser abspülen, um den Geschmack des Kaffees nicht zu verfälschen. Da grob gemahlener Kaffee ziemlich schnell durch den Baumwollfilter läuft, mahle ich den Kaffee mit der Tchibo Kaffeemühle (siehe: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0914VGVGY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) zwischen Mahlgrad 18-20. Dadurch wird der Kaffee feiner gemahlen und braucht ca. 3:30 Minuten, bis 300 ml Wasser durch 21 Gramm Kaffeepulver durchlaufen. Ich nutze die 4:6 Methode, um meinen Kaffee zu brühen, das heißt, dass ich das Wasser nach und nach eingieße.Geschmack: Man mag es nicht glauben, aber der Geschmack des Kaffees ist wirklich weicher und weniger säurehaltig, als ein mit einem Hario Papierfilter gebrühter Kaffee. Ich habe einen weitere Hario Kaffeezubereiter (siehe: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00755F9Z4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) und kann daher den Vergleich machen.Qualität: Wenn man das dünne Glas bei heiß eingefülltem Kaffee anfasst, wird es natürlich sehr heiß. Durch die beiden Kunststoffhälften, welche mit dem Lederband zusammengehalten werden, schützt man seine Hände und kann die Karaffe natürlich besser halten. Das Eingießen erfolgt absolut tropffrei. Nichts kleckert oder tropft nach. Leider kühlt der Kaffee in der Karaffe ziemlich schnell ab, so dass man bei größeren Mengen mehrmals Kaffee zubereiten muss.Reinigung: Nachdem man alle Teile abgenommen hat, kann man die Karaffe sehr schnell reinigen. Auch wenn die Öffnung für große Hände zu klein ist, kommt man mit einem Schwamm dennoch in alle Bereiche. Den Filter reinige ich lediglich unter fließendem Wasser und lasse ihn anschließend in der Karaffe eingesetzt leicht trocknen. Den Filter auf keinen Fall auf eine Heizung oder mit einem Haartrockner trocknen. Das würde die Baumwolle beschädigen.Nachhaltigkeit: Da man keine Papierfilter mehr verwenden muss, ist diese Art der Kaffeezubereitung natürlich sehr nachhaltig (obwohl ich natürlich auch den anderen Kaffeezubereiter ab und zu nutze).Preis-Leistung: Den regulären Preis von 34,90 Euro empfinde ich als etwas zu hoch. Angemessen wären in meinen Augen 24,90 Euro. In dieser Kategorie muss ich einen Stern abziehen.Alles in allem bin ich mit dem Kaffeezubereiter zufrieden, jedoch erachte ich den Preis als zu hoch und vergebe 4 Sterne.Falls Ihnen meine Rezension geholfen hat, sich für oder gegen das Produkt zu entscheiden, freue ich mich über Ihre positive Bewertung.

Overall a good productProduces good coffee - It's not much hassle to clean - If you run hot water from the tap straight after making your coffee (and dumping the grounds into the bin) it should come off easily enough. Keep it on a cup of water in the fridge or a zip-lock bag in the freezer if you don't use everyday. Don't let it dry out or it can get the "smells"Only thing I had to say that is negative is the quality of the handle in the filter holder. It is chipping already, it has been less then a week. I might sand it and oil it myself instead of relying on the varnish.

Well made l and easy to use. It's a good way to make coffee, similar to a v60 but the cloth filter let's more of the coffee oils through. Easy to clean too.

Geschmacklich besser und preiswerter als Papierfilter
