Product Description
Color: Black
This will sit on a mug. The inside funnel is 2" with the total diameter of 4.5" It allows you to make an individual mug of coffee. Place a #2 cone filter inside the 'v' and gently pour hot (195 degree) water over the grounds to moisten them, wait 30 seconds to allow the ground to 'bloom' then pour more water over the grounds to finish the brewing cycle. Use only enough water to fill the mug. Relax and enjoy

I have had one of these single-cup coffee drip dispensers for a long time. It uses a standard #2 paper filter, but I use #4 filters instead, since they are cheaper (but the #4 filter will stick up a bit past the top edge of this cone). It is still going strong after almost ten years, and I wash it every month or so on the top rack of my dishwasher.
I decided to get another one, since it is hard to find good functional products like this anymore. It has FOUR holes in the bottom that allow for quick, even draining of the water after you pour it over the grounds. I use about 20 to 30 grams of ground coffee to make a 12 to 18 ounce cup of coffee. I have used both store-bought ground coffee (in the past) and now fresh ground coffee (I grind the beans finely, so the 4 holes on the bottom help keep the water flowing through properly).
This cone will fit on top of large and small cups alike: the outer diameter of the base is 4.75 inches, which means it will fit quite comfortably on a cup that has a top diameter of 4.5 inches, and the inside diameter (where the coffee seeps through) is only 2 inches in diameter, which means it will fit on *any* cup with a top diameter between 2.25 inches and 4.5 inches. The base, excepting the 4 holes, is solid, so VERY LITTLE HEAT ESCAPES from your cup while the cone is on top of it and the water is still seeping through.
Anyway, other cones designed for one cup all have various drawbacks: some have bottoms with unnecessary, non-functional grooves that allow heat to escape, or there is only one big hole for the coffee to go through and the water spends too much time in the grounds making the coffee bitter, or you have to pour just a little bit of water over the grounds at a time, or the hole is really big or there are too many smaller holes and the water goes through too quickly providing a weaker brew (or requiring the use of more grounds), or some other poorly thought-out design flaw. And cones made of ceramic are heavy and could topple lighter-weight or taller cups.
I saw that this item goes out-of-stock from time to time, and wanted a backup in case I ever lose the one I have been using (without a hitch, I might add). I recommend you buy one before this particular design becomes extinct.
EDIT: I forgot to add that the very bottom of this cone extends a mere 3/8 inches into the cup you place it on, reducing the likelihood of the brewed coffee coming into contact with the plastic (unless you pour too much water into the cone and don't monitor it as it seeps through) and also making it unlikely that you will spill the grounds when you whisk the cone away after brewing.

Recently, I visited Blue Bottle coffee shop in Brooklyn, the lastest coffee extravaganza from San Francisco, and realized that they have some really good tasting coffee. I was intrigued that they didn't use the regular filter machines like other less-snobby coffee places. Instead, they used the pour-over technique that in their own words intensifies the flavor of the coffee and lets you enjoy your cup of joe. Amazingly, they did not lie, and I immediately wanted to switch from regular filter to pour-over. Of course, they were ready to help, and wanted to sell me their porcelain filter cone for a great price of just under $30. Since money is not found on streets these days, plan B was to go to Amazon and see if it would be possible to buy something that is priced for normal people who are not posh Brooklynites.
The answer is in front of you, this little piece of plastic magic combined with good quality coffee and constantly boiling water on your stove will return your faith in
good coffee. The cone is good for two cups of coffee, so it will probably serve well most of the households.

Great product! As mentioned in other reviews, this is most compatible with a #4 style filter.
Keep in mind that the typical grind size for a pour-over cone is finer that the typical grind size for auto-drip coffee makers. This coffee cone has four holes in the bottom, which means that the speed of the drip is more dependent on the size of your grinds.
I found this in a Portland OR New Seasons market for $2.75

But I wanted red!
But I wanted red. Illustration read red. It arrived in time, which was nice and it seems as good as my old red one was from 1985.

Pretty decent, but you can't see how fast cup is filling.
Was $5 when I got it, probably could have gotten the official Melitta one with a cup for not much more down at Publix. Read more
