Barista Warrior Pour Over Filter for Hario V60 and Chemex - Reusable Coffee Filter for Hario V60 Filter and Chemex Coffee Filter

I’ve bought a few of these and I invariably end up throwing them away as they clog and the water won’t drip through. This one - though a little pricey - works perfectly. I gently scrub it after each use and once a week I do a quick soak in white vinegar. A winner!!

I bought this to use with a Technivorm Moccamaster so please bare that in mind with this review. First up I really like the build quality. It is exceptionally well made! The feel is really unlike any permanent filter I've had in the past. I like that the rubber lip is easily detachable too. Next: despite this being for pour over use it, does allow for a really high flow considering how well it filters out particles. I've not had any issues so far with spilling, though I did come close when brewing a full pot with a large amount of filter ground coffee. I think for a full 10 cups, I need to use a slightly coarser grind, but for 6 the standard filter is absolutely fine. The down sides: it's a tad difficult to remove from the grinds holder since there's no handle or anything really to grip, other than the rubber or the slight lip on the filter. I prefer that bit as the rubber can come away a little too easily - especially when warm. Strangely for a coffee filter, there are no holes in the point. It is completely solid, I think this might contribute to a little water retention as my grinds are always still quite soggy when I empty it. And emptying it can be messy. Since there's nothing to really hold on to, there isn't an easy way to gently bang it to get the used grinds loose. I end up having to use a finger to gently scrap out the left overs that wont shift, and then wash it. Washing it you do need to be careful and not apply too much force to it. It's not difficult, but it's enough of a chore that it's something I end up noticing. Other than that though; I find the coffee I make tastes as good as that from melitta bamboo filters. Maybe even a little better. There is very little, if any, dust / grit in the cup. Couple that with the excellent materials and build quality, and all in all it's a very good product; just needs a little TLC on the cleaning front.

Only been using for a week but it works great so far.

I wanted this to work but it was consistently 45-60 seconds faster pour than V60 paper. There’s only so much I could adjust the grind to compensate.

This filter is the best I have ever used. I hesitated at the price point, but zero regrets. Highly recommend. Also, I am using wirh Chemex pour over.
