Pour Over Coffee Dripper Coffee Filter Cone Reusable Paperless Stainless Steel Coffee Filter Single Layer Coffee Maker 1-4 Cup

I let my coffee and ground sit in the fridge for 8 to 12 hours, then pour it through this filter to make cold brew. It works quite well.

My wife bought me a pour over set almost a year ago, since coffee is something I enjoy. And my tastes have evolved over the years. I used to buy pre-ground coffee and use an automatic drip coffee maker. I eventually tried whole beans and grinding them, which put an end to pre-ground coffee. (Hard to go back once you taste the difference) Then I went from a loud automatic grinder to a quiet hand held, manual grinder. Noticing the more balanced flavor a consistent grind gave me. And then the pour over. Well, that took some getting used to and a lot of experimenting, finding the right grind, trying for that 'bloom' and such. I was almost getting it down when another part started to bother me. The time it took for the water to finish going through the filter. I was winding up with coffee that was just...pretty warm. So...I start researching a thermal carafe and it was perfect. Gave me hot coffee again - for a little while. Then it got where I was pouring from the thermal carafe back into the glass and putting it in the microwave for a minute or two to make it hot enough again. But I could swear that was at the cost of flavor, as it didn't quite taste as good after. It got to where it felt ridiculous to go through all this effort and I was about THIS close to just giving up on the whole hassle of it all. So I order a tiny Mr. Coffee maker, figuring I'll just keep grinding my beans and have that do the work and at least have hot coffee. But, dang it again...it just wasn't the same. At all. It was hot, sure, but totally lacking in flavor. At my wits end, I start researching reusable filters. Maybe, just MAYBE, that will solve all my problems?I was so excited to get this in the mail. I opened it up and went to wash it out so I can test out my last hope of a home made, flavorful, hot cup of coffee. As I'm rinsing out the soap, I figure I'll put it side by side with my other filter (which I had cleaned after every use, always) and was surprised to see that I couldn't even get this new filter to hold water long enough to see how slow it drains. While my other filter filled right up and slowly drained about half way. Well, that certainly seemed promising!And I'm happy to inform anyone taking the time to read this long tale that it solved ALL my pour over coffee issues! This filter works brilliantly. I tend to grind my coffee on the finer side and was a little worried about grounds on the bottom of my cup (nothing worse than that last sip and GAG!), but have thus far had no problems. The only problem I have now is having to wait a little bit because it pours over so quick into a thermal carafe and then I pour into a Zojirushi thermal mug and it stays piping hot. Almost TOO hot.This filter has me back on track with really tasty coffee again. I would not hesitate to recommend and I already have to anyone I know who enjoys coffee enough to make it this way. And I hope it works for anyone who reads this as good as it works for me!Follow-up note [December 2022]: Several months ago, the supporting rim around the top of the filter came off. Just seems the welding points weren't very good and it just popped off. I figured it must have been a fluke, but who knows? The filter has been working fine, however, without the supporting rim the cone isn't as sturdy and cleaning is starting to cause the bottom plug portion of the filter to also come loose. I'm afraid it's only a short matter of time before I'm faced with buying a new filter.(Apparently only a matter of hours. See photo. I'm hoping this was a fluke and looks like I will have to order a replacement)

Makes coffee at the right speed.

This is my 3rd pour over filter, and it is performing extremely well.In the past, I have had multiple issues with other products. Some metal filters are too coarse and letting some grounds through or over time the dual screen can let grounds between the screens, and even have had trouble getting the filter clean due to grounds getting stuck. None of these issues are too big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but little annoyances that can be avoided in design.This filter has none of these problems. It comes with a brush to help clean it, but I have not needed it at all. The screen is a super fine mesh that has none of the issues above. The construction is sturdy and holding up after 2months of heavy usage...well, as heavy usage as coffee filters get. I took a star away for the bottom plate connection. The bottom plate is removable, which is extremely useful for making coffee in a carafe or something like that, so I understand and appreciate the feature. However, this bottom plate pops off from time to time when I'm putting it on my mugs. It's not a huge issue (once every 2 weeks or so), but seems like it could be avoided by making the capturing tabs on the plate just a bit longer. In any case, if I need a new pour over coffee maker, I will be repurchasing this one as it is sturdy and performs well.

I would use a filter to help slow down the water passing thru this cone. Nice easy was to make coffee. Totally worth it.
