5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Pour Over Maker..
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2019
I know that this is probably one of the trendiest ways to make coffee nowadays.
But truth be told, when I was a little girl my father had a very similar coffee maker.
that he would set up first thing in the morning and after dinner.
I loved the ritual of watching him make coffee the pour over way.
When April came and I was looking for birthday gift ideas, I wanted something that I would get use out of, and that was not very expensive .
So I thought about my coffee habit. I do not drink a lot of coffee, but I love coffee .
From my keurig, French press, regular drip maker, etc. I thought this would be a good addition to my coffee family.
There is a much pricier, well-known brand, very similar in look, and style, to this one.
Until I knew what I wanted I was not willing to invest, just yet.
I chose this one because of the price, and the look, and the reviews.
Now that I have had it for a few months, I don’t see any reason to get anything else.
It’s easy to clean, for me.
One thing to keep in mind, is to rinse it immediately after you're done using it.
I like that the cork is 100% removable to make cleaning a breeze
A little bit of hot water, white vinegar, and a soft brush , and it’s as good as new.
This item comes with a measuring spoon, and a reusable filter, which I appreciated.
I tried the paper filters that came with this package -just to see if there was a difference in taste/quality, and quite honestly my guests and I did not notice a difference, to justify using only paper filters.
But then again, I am a newbie to this game,
So, I might be missing some slight nuances of flavor, or coloring, or what have you.
Overall, this pour over maker is a thorough complete package.
If you are on the fence about switching over to the “pour over life“ , looking for a pour over maker of your very own, a gift, etc., I don’t see how you could go wrong with this specific item.
