Melitta Pour Over Coffee Cone Brewer & #2 Filter Natural Brown Combo Set, Red

We have tried so many things and everything would go wrong with so many coffee makers, devices, etc. So, I thought, let's go with the absolute basic. Not only is it the easiest to work but the lowest cost. Here's what we do: 1. get coffee cup 2. add powdered coffee creamer 3. add sweet packet 4. put coffee cone brewer on top of coffee cup 5. squish open cone coffee filter and put inside cone brewer 6. add ground coffee beans (we love French Roast Medium-Dark Roast Ground Coffee) - it's best to find a little scooper that gives you the best strength YOU DESIRE for the size of your COFFEE CUP then use both every time for best and quickest results. 7. POUR (read below) AND STIR -- here's your "STIR-TIP"; after cup has about 1/4 coffee, carefully lift cone brewer (can still be dripping) and stick in your spoon and stir your powdered creamer & powdered sweetner so is smooth and not "blobs". 7.5 Now pour your hot water from your kettle (we are in love with the clear electric kettle with the blue light right now) --- this sounds like the "easy part" BUT IT IS NOT. My husband loves this part and takes his time to slowly wet all the grounds and pour in water bit-by-bit...smell is incredible and the BEST COFFEE WE HAVE EVER HAD! (My method is wet grounds with one or two BIG POURS....no, definitely not as good as my husbands'.) Take like a minute to pour water slowly while wetting all grounds and in about 1 minute you will have the best aromatic coffee ever. Best part? TAKES NO SPACE ON THAT LIMITED COUNTER SPACE!!!

I'm not standing around a lot these days, and I don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I have been a French press user for years, and so I'm spoiled. This little one-cup filter cone will brew up my a.m. coffee in seconds flat. It's so much better than instant, and you have to boil the water for that anyway. I got it in a nice, fire-engine red color that spruces up my kitchen. It came with a whole box of filters, too--unbleached or natural. I can't get the coffee quite as strong as I can make it in my press, but it certainly is smooth-tasting. Ideal for a single person or a trip. If you absolutely have to have brewed coffee, and I do, this is certainly a convenient and cheap way to get it!

French press is fine, but too much bother. Coffee from electric coffee maker always lacks something, but great if you want many cups. I've lately come to like "Pour over" the best. (in a tall thermal cup). My stainless, paper filterless, pour-over takes too long, now that I've had it awhile. No kind of cleaning will restore its' original flow rate. I have a collapsible silicon pour over thing that really is good, but I can't see how much is in the cup without lifting it up. Overfills are frequent. This Melitta cone brewer is perfect. There are ridges inside to channel the brew so the filter is held away from the cone so the brew is not all coming from the bottom of the filter. Some don't like the lack of a handle. It HAS a handle in the form of the offset top ("form follows function in good design"). Some say it's too unstable & will tip too easy. Well, it is if you use a traditional "cup". This is more for a "mug" or something that won't rock. I wanted it for the visibility to see when I've poured enough. Some say the coffee is not hot enough because of the openings, but if I run some hot water in my big cup 1st before I start pouring & let it sit a little to heat soak, then pour, my resulting coffee is VERY hot. The plastic used doesn't have any evil stuff in it, and I can't detect ANY taste from the brewer or the Melitta filter.

This is my daily driver pour over come. I have one I very to work, two at home, and another at one of my sites. This is an excellent easy to use pour over cone for those who don’t want to mess with a V60

Easy to use and clean. I was looking to try a pourover because I hate cleaning out my french press lol, and k-cups are too much plastic waste. It was nice to find a pourover that came with a box of filters too, and since I’m the only person in my house who drinks coffee, I like that it fits right on top of my mug. When I’m done, I can just toss out the filter, and rinse and wipe down the plastic pourover piece. The only thing I don’t like so much is that if you just pour in water and walk away, it comes out too fast and you get a weak watery cup of coffee - you have to steadily and slowly pour in the hot water and make sure to evenly pour along the sides in order to actually get the drip effect, and continue doing so slowly until you get a full cup of coffee. This kind of means the coffee isn’t piping hot anymore once you’re finally finished (at least, for me, since I microwave my water because I don’t have a kettle yet), but I’m not really picky about my coffee temperature. If you are picky about temperature, or are looking for something you can just set down and forget about and just come back to an instantly finished cup of coffee, you probably don’t want a pourover. But otherwise, this product works great so far and is great for my needs!

It’s super easy to use. My bf doesn’t have a coffee maker and really no space for one, so I got this for when I’m at his house. It took a few times to figure out exactly how many tablespoons of grounds to use to get it how I like it. I suggest starting with two heaping tablespoons. If you put too many grounds it can take awhile for the water to seep through. Pour your boiling water in a circular motion enough to wet all the grounds. Give it a sec to start to drip through and do it again. Keep going until you have the desired amount of coffee. Then toss the filter and rinse the cone. Quick and easy.

I have a Brew & Go that is about 40 years old and still works but the screen basket it uses lets the grounds 'mud' through and the coffee becomes bitter. This Melitta pour over makes the coffee without any bitterness and no 'mud'. I love it! I followed what one commenter said and pour the hot water slowly on the grounds so they really soak in the water and get the coffee as strong as I like it. If you don't like your coffee strong you can either pour the hot water faster or just use less grounds.

I had one of these years ago, but it went missing. Recently, my doctor told me I had to limit myself to one cup of coffee per day and I know that if I continue to use my Mr. Coffee. I would be still be drinking 3 cups a day so I decided to purchase this and I’m really glad I did. It works wonderfully well. It’s easy. I don’t have to wait as long for my coffee. I recommend this if you are a single person or if you are only making one to 2 cups of coffee per day.
