A clean filter is a happy filter!

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018

Hello fellow coffee lovers! I am in love with this pour over brewer and have used it non-stop for the past month or so. I have used many types of metal cones before and do run into clogging issues IF you don't take care of it. I found this information below to be extremely helpful as it has worked for me over the years and I don't have any issues with clogging.

Be honest: how often do you clean your coffee brewing equipment? I’m not judging, but I do want to call attention to how important it is to keep your coffee gear clean and shiny.

Your Pour Over Dripper is designed to last a lifetime - or longer. If you take care of it, you’ll never have to buy another pour over cone. If you don’t care for it by cleaning it, you’ll run into some serious problems.

When your used coffee grounds cool, the natural oils begin to jellify. These oils, though tasty in your coffee, can eventually build up and clog the micro holes that make up the dripper’s filter. When enough holes are gelled over, your coffee suffers. After a long while, the oils can even go rancid, destroying your coffee’ flavor.

Luckily, avoiding this coffee doom is easy.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER BREWING

I know how tempting it can be to leave the dripper on the counter once you’ve brewed your coffee. The aromas rise and find your nostrils, begging you to leave the dripper behind while you enjoy your coffee.

However, an immediate cleaning is the best cleaning. It keeps the oils from cooling and plugging up the filter holes and keeps you from having to perform deeper cleanings more frequently.

Set your coffee aside for 30 seconds while you do one of two things. Trust me, it’ll be okay.

1. Quickly wash your dripper with a small bit of hot, soapy water.
2. Throw it in the dishwasher and start it.
Both of these options are quick, painless, and don’t keep you from your coffee for long. This simple step is going to make your dripper last a lifetime.

MONTHLY DEEP CLEAN

Even with regular care, your dripper may still collect more stubborn oils and minerals. Calcium is a particularly troublesome mineral. It will build and build despite regular cleaning, especially if your local water source has a high calcium hardness rating.

Follow these steps once a month to break down the most stubborn oils and minerals.

THE VINEGAR SOLUTION

Using vinegar to deep clean your dripper is simple and painless. Since you probably already have vinegar, you don’t need to buy anything special.

1. Submerge the dripper in a 1:3 vinegar:water solution and boil for 20 minutes.
2. Let the solution work its magic as the dripper soaks for for 4-8 hours (overnight is fine).
3. Wash the dripper with soapy water or throw it in the dishwasher to clean away the broken down oils and minerals.
THE OXICLEAN SOLUTION

Oxiclean provides one of the quickest ways to deeply clean your dripper.

1. Mix 4-5 tablespoons of Oxiclean with enough hot water to submerge the dripper.
2. Submerge the dripper and let it soak for 1 hour.
3. Throw it in the dishwasher or scrub it with soapy water.
THE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SOLUTION

This solution requires some more intense ingredients, but there’s a chance you already have them lying around somewhere.

1. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of citric acid and hydrogen peroxide per 2 cups of warm water.
2. Mix in some dishwashing soap.
3. Soak the dripper for 4 hours.
4. Clean thoroughly with soapy water or throw in the dishwasher.
If you have a dedicated coffee cleaner such as Cafiza or Urnex, feel free to use it for the monthly deep cleaning.

A CLEAN DRIPPER IS A HAPPY DRIPPER

If you keep your dripper clean, it’ll keep you happy by brewing incredible coffee without any flavor tains. If you let cleaning fall by the wayside, your coffee quality will eventually suffer.

Love your pour over cone and it’ll love you back.

Happy brewing!

Filter stops working after a few months.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018

The strainer no longer works like it did when I first got it. It drips very slow and I’m back to using my crappy, plastic coffee maker. And of course, the guarantee has expired. My complaint is similar to the people who likewise have experienced this same thing...the filter runs freely with water but it stops up with coffee grounds. I’ve purchased all variety of grinds, fine and coarse, and it still does not work. I would like the company to send me a new filter at no charge...as it is clearly defective and a rip-off. Bean Envy, please respond.

It is perfect for me

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

Bought this so that I could make my morning coffee and have minimal clean up. It is perfect for me. Immediately upon receiving the package you can tell it something well made and well thought out. The box isn't cheap flimsy cardboard and the instructions are very well laid out with good use of graphics to help aid you. The rubberized bottom of the carafe is a great idea and I love the design of the glass handle, I was a little concerned that after I poured the water over the handle would be hot - but it wasnt, I was able to pick it up and pour right after the water filtered through.

The filter is also good, I was able to handle it immediately after brewing was finished, due to the plastic handle. The clean up of the filter is super easy, just rinsed it under the tap and it was like new.

Such a simple item that has been well thought out and tiny touches that make it so usable. I am very impressed with the quality of the coffee maker and the usability of it.

I bought this with the bean envy pour over kettle and have posted a short video of my use both.

Bean Envy Pour Over > Chemex

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

We were hesitant to move away from the Chemex with paper filters to this brand new product with a metal filter and about 6 customer reviews, but... I have ZERO COMPLAINTS, it truly is greater than the Chemex in my opinion. The rubber bottom is awesome, the filter is awesome and easy to clean, the measurements on the glass are so helpful, the glass is super strong, the handle is far more convenient than a removable wooden clasp & it comes with this awesome oval shape coffee scoop that really does make it easier to place the grounds in the filter just the way you need it.

I have a Baratza Virtuoso and I grind at 16. I've gotten so used to this that I no longer need a scale. I have kept the box to take it with me when I travel. I love it, it's awesome & I am very satisfied

BE Pour Over > Chemex : )

Makes a very rich cup

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm a coffee snob, but that's ok because all my friends are too! This pour over is exactly what I want in one. I've purchased a couple products from this company and am pleased with all of them. I usually take cold brew or press coffee, but am learning to enjoy pour over more and more. The filter does it's job well and the coffee tastes absolutely amazing. Make sure to learn your ratios first or your cup could turn out not so good, BUT once you figure it out the flavor is unlike any others. I also prefer not to have to buy paper filters.

The best coffee we've made at home

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

My husband and I had been using our Keurig for a couple of years, and we started noticing that we weren't feeling well after drinking our morning cup of coffee. We looked it up and found that coffee makers can harbor bacteria and other things and so we wanted to see if changing how we made our coffee would help...not only did switching to this pour over coffee maker help us feel better, the coffee tastes great...better than any coffee we ever brewed in any type of coffee maker at home. This seems very well made, and the filter is awesome- absolutely no grounds in our coffee and there's no need for a paper filter. The only downside is that you have to have a little patience, but I've actually enjoyed the process and it really doesn't take long, and our coffee is still hot when finished.

Works GREAT! Don't let the steel filter haters turn you off.

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is my first pour over unit. I decided to give it a try after having a french press break... It's easy to use and produces a great tasting brew without any sludge like you will find in a french press. The silicone base is very helpful and protects it from shattering on a granite counter top. Many reviewers have complained about the filter clogging up.

**It's true, it will absolutely clog with the oils from the coffee after a few uses, but it's just not that difficult to clean. After I've let the water run through it and the coffee is ready, I immediately dump the grounds and run the filter under the hottest water I can stand, then wash it quickly with a sponge and Dawn dish soap. I push the suds through the holes all the way around from the inside using the sponge, rinse it out and toss it in the drying rack. It takes maybe a minute to a minute and a half to do that, then I go drink my coffee. I haven't had any trouble with it and have been using it for months.

The only true CON is that the coffee doesn't stay hot for very long so I do pre-heat the vessel with hot water to help offset that.

Either way, I like it a lot. I will eventually get another french press, but I will not get rid of this.

Soooo much better!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm a little new to the whole "pour over" thing but I'm a fan. Someone recommended giving this a try and I'm sold. I was a little intimidated when I first got it, but the instruction manual that came with it was really helpful. I really like the design of this product - especially the silicone bottom. I hate the sound and feel of setting glass on my countertop and I'm always afraid it's going to shatter. I can’t believe how much better the coffee tastes doing it this way. I drank pour over coffee two days in a row from this and then had some from the traditional coffee pot that my wife brewed this morning and the coffee from the traditional coffee pot tasted terrible compared to this. Same fresh ground coffee beans. I’m never using my old coffee pot again. I highly recommend, even if for newbies.

Great Customer Service!

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was very excited to receive my Bean Envy Pour Over Kettle and Bean Envy Pour Over Coffee Maker. The first morning I used the Coffee Maker the little rubber tip for easy grip fell off. I contacted Customer Service and spoke to Jill who was very professional in addressing my concern. She requested my address and I received a replacement Coffee Maker in a couple of days.
I researched many different pour over coffee makers and chose Bean Envy due to the many positive reports regarding their wonderful Customer Service. I can attest to the truth of that statement. Jill was attentive to my concerns and took care of the matter immediately. Dealing with a small company who takes pride in their products is the best way to go.
I feel as my friends taste my fresh brewed coffee, using the Bean Envy products, I will be the "envy" of them all knowing I have the experience of a wonderful cup of coffee every morning.
I also have the Bean Envy Frother and can't wait to make cappuccinos.

Great cup of Joe and a wonderful company!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018

Favorite morning routine is now complete with this pour over!! had some questions regarding the filter and how to clean it so I sent them a direct message. I heard back right away and was extremely surprised at how professional and helpful they were! They sent me a cleaning guide which has really helped with the filter. I've used a Chemex, traditional mr jones coffee pot and now this pour over. I really like the metal filter, it really does make a much better cup of coffee!!!! I do recommend cleaning it regularly, so people stop complaining if it clogs, this is on you. Oxy clean is a wonderful way to clean the filter too!
