- Pour Over Coffee Maker - 14oz High Heat Borosilicate Glass with Reusable Stainless Steel Filter, Drip Coffee Brewer Pourover Dripper Set Carafe, 400ml Clear

I don't drink a lot of coffee, seldom more that a cup a day if that often. But it is nice to make a fresh cup when I want it and making a pot is too much while using the single cup drip machines don't do anything for me. With this, I heat my water, put my coffee with chicory in the colander and soon I have a rich tasting coffee for one or two. It seems well make, durable and it works. Very happy with this purchase!

Very impressed with this little coffee maker. Combined with the JavaPresse Manual Coffee Grinder | Conical Burr Mill for Precision Brewing | Brushed Stainless Steel, it has been a game changer in the quality of coffee I'm now able to have each morning. This is the first time I've ever used a pour over coffee maker and it's not likely I'll go back to any other way of making coffee.I prefer my coffee hotter than, well, hell. The reason is because I take my coffee with light cream which obviously is kept cold. Following is how I make a cup of coffee so that it turns out as hot as possible.○ Fill the carafe with the appropriate amount of clean, very cold water○ Transfer this to electric kettle or appropriate kettle on stove○ Turn on the hot water tap with the carafe underneath and begin letting the water run until it is steaming hot○ Place your normal amount of light cream in the coffee cup○ Place 1/4 cup of beans in the grinder and start manually grinding○ Once the flowing water is piping hot, turn it off and carefully set your coffee cup bottom into the top of the hot water in the carafe. This will cause the chill to come off the cream inside○ Continue grinding until you're about 1/2 or 3/4 done○ Turn on the electric kettle○ Continue grinding○ When done grinding, pull the coffee cup off the top of the carafe (notice the chill is now gone), dump the still hot water out of the carafe, place the cone filter in it, pour the fresh ground coffee into the filter○ By now, your water will have just finished boiling + a very brief moment of pause (this acts to bring the temp closer to about 200°)○ Immediately begin pouring water over the ground coffee and wait for it to finish○ Pour coffee into the cup containing your creamI'll not say the coffee is lip burning hot, but it's not far off at all.While this all sounds incredibly time consuming, in fact, it takes only minutes to do all of the steps above. The longest wait times are when you are grinding and when the water is going through the coffee in the filter. I'll try to time myself next time at normal speed and will edit this review accordingly. I believe it takes me no longer than about 5 minutes to make a cup.What's delivered is a steaming hot cup of coffee that's aromatically gorgeous and incredibly tasty. It's so good, I often think about wanting more during the day and as a result, will likely buy another pair for my office.I am hooked and not sure I can ever willingly go back to another method of making coffee.Edit: Ran my stopwatch to see how long this took without rushing. At 5.46 minutes I had completed pouring the water over the grinds. At 7.04 minutes I was drinking a steaming cup of coffee.01/17/2020 updating to note this little system is still going strong. Zero rust, still insanely easy to clean and the glass it still perfect. Really great little product.

I am a college student, but I usually only drink one cup of coffee a day. So, while looking for a new coffee maker, I wasn't looking for anything too big, especially as I share my small dorm kitchen with my two roommates. I was also interested in experimenting with manual coffee makers; one of my roommates last year had had a Keurig she let me use, but I wasn't too impressed with the results, so I knew I did not want to invest in a pod brewer for myself.The CoffeeGator pour-over hit the nail on the head. It delivers on all fronts: compact size, sleek design, fairly priced, easy to use, relatively speedy (compared to the average French press), fun to experiment with, and most importantly, a delicious brew. I have never enjoyed drinking coffee black in the past, but now I do at least a few times a week and really enjoy it. I usually use a #2 cone-shaped coffee filter just to make cleanup faster, although going filter-less definitely works, too, and cleanup doesn't take that much effort.I was going to leave a review when I first bought it back in July, but I kept forgetting to. Yesterday, however, I accidentally dropped the carafe and the top half shattered. I had noticed other Amazon reviews mentioning that CoffeeGator had replaced their brewers for various reasons, so I thought I may as well try to contact them before buying a replacement. I emailed them last night explaining the situation (with a screenshot of my Amazon order) and a little over 12 hours later, they have already graciously responded and shipped out a replacement! I was willing to buy one of their replacement carafes (which isn't as expensive as buying the whole kit again) but was relieved and impressed by their customer service, especially being on a college student's limited budget. Kudos, CoffeeGator!

This arrived on time and well-packaged.My keurig had broken after months of annoying messing around with "descaling" (despite using filtered, bottled water), and I was looking for a less expensive, simpler way to make coffee other than my French press. After reading many reviews I went with this little guy.This is actually kind of a simple but cute glass "laboratory" looking coffee maker. The glass seems thin but is actually pretty sturdy, as I had knocked it somewhat hard against a mug in the sink earlier.I read up on how to make the coffee...how many tblsps per oz of water...slowly pour the hot water from outer edge circling inward...etc. It is easier than using my French press, and pretty easy to clean up.For some reason, my coffee did not taste as good as when I use the french press. Despite what I've read in the reviews. Maybe it's me so I'll keep playing.Cleanup is much easier than a french press, so that is a plus.After having manual coffee maker parts drying all the time after handwashing, and messing with measuring and then cleanup of wet grounds...I bought a small keurig for my 5am workday bleary-eyed coffee needs. It was just too much work for this single mom for 5am along with letting the dog out who had his little legs crossed by the door...I would recommend this little coffee maker, but I will probably be using it more for weekend enjoyment.
