Japanese Ceramic Coffee Filter Dripper, Reusable, Arita Porcelain

Cool new way to make coffee for coffee enthusiasts but as it involves a laborious cleaning ritual I won’t recommend it for casual coffee drinkers

It made great coffee initially. When it began to drain slowly, I boiled it and it just about returned to the previous flow. On the box, it says to occasionally heat it over a gas flame to restore it. I did so for a number of minutes until it stopped smoking. Now now liquid will pass through it whatsoever, even after I gave it a boil. I contacted the seller for support, and after their initial "we'll get back to you" message, never contacted me again. There are many of these filters on Amazon, try a different one.

The taste is a bit more earthly. It’s not your traditional pour-over. Less acid than traditional coffee, but it has a taste I can’t describe and I can only assume that’s coming from the ceramic.

The coffee made using this filter tastes fantastic, and it fits on top of my Hario Woodneck perfectly. Unfortunately, the pores are too fine for this to be practical for making coffee. The first 30 seconds goes alright, then it clogs and takes like 15 minutes for a 250ml pour over. It's too bad because this would be my go to filter if it actually worked.

This is a good product for both coffee and tea :)

I really loved the idea of having a new coffee brewing method that would cut down on waste but being in the industry myself I can guarantee this is NOT for coffee. There is now filter gauge to tell you how porous the ceramic will be but it clogs so much your extraction is ruined by the time it even starts pouring. Plus the cleanup is a nightmare, if you don’t want to ruin your sinks or clean it outside with every use I’d look for something else.

I purchased this ceramic coffee filter with high hopes, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. Let me break down my experience:1.Taste Alteration: Contrary to the product description, this filter significantly altered the taste of my coffee. Instead of enhancing it, as promised, it provided an entirely different flavor profile. If you’re particular about the original taste of your coffee, this filter might not be the right choice.2.Clogging Issues: The filter clogs frequently, making it challenging to maintain a consistent water flow. As a result, achieving a stable coffee taste becomes a frustrating task.3.Cleaning Hassles: The claim that this filter is easy to clean is misleading. Even after boiling it in water, the clogs persisted. Removing ground coffee from the filter required extreme measures—I had to burn the affected spots until they were completely charred. Not exactly the hassle-free cleaning process I expected.4.Sustainability Concerns: While marketed as a reusable and eco-friendly product, the excessive water and gas wastage due to clogs negates any environmental benefits. Sustainability should involve both functionality and resource conservation, and this filter misses the mark.5.Flowerly Words vs. Reality: The flowery language in the product description—promising taste enhancement and effortless cleaning—doesn’t align with the filter’s actual performance. It feels like a bait-and-switch situation, leaving me disappointed.In summary, I’ve reluctantly relegated this filter to the back of my shelves after using it for only three months. If you’re seeking a reliable coffee filter, I recommend exploring other options.

This is my second ceramic filter but my first one from this brand. I like ceramic coffee filters better than paper or steel mesh because coffee comes out smoother tasting but this filter seems to filter slower than my previous filter. These types of filters are pretty delicate but this one seems to be less delicate so I guess that’s the trade off. Take good care of this filter and it will take care of you!
