Hario "Cafeor" Mesh Coffee Dripper, Size 01, Black

How can such a simple design make a difference? Well, I was skeptical...replace my melitta $4 cone v. $25 Japanese Hario? Are you kidding, no way. Not anymore...this Hario changes the game. I have everything from a $1000 chrome Italian espresso beauty to the $1 cone from a garage sale (Nespresso, moka pots, pavoni, etc...). I like coffee in all forms. Yet for ease of use, form, clean-up and taste, this Hario Paperless wins. Smooth, not bitter, full and rich, hot and easy. And fun too, especially if you know you don't have 10 minutes of clean-up. Search for the videos online for best brewing practices. I use 22 grams of coffee for 300 grams of water for a good American sized cup. (Yes, use your kitchen scale). Some handy tips: 1. Preheat your cup but this filter is plastic and steel so no preheating is needed. 2. Bloom 22 grams of coffee with 50 grams of water and wait 30 seconds before proceeding. This let's the coffee off-gas and settle into behaving well. 3. Pour in a steady slow stream (2 minutes of pouring if you can stand it) working from the center outward, then spiral in and out. 4. Mix vigorously for another 30 seconds. (Don't mix if you like the more delicate and fruity coffee in the Japanese style). Now for a celebration of the design features: a. Cone separates from the stand. b. All edges of the plastic are perfectly smoothed and finished nicely. The plastic is thick and rigid. It reminds me of the good German toy plastic. c. The steel mesh is the finest I have seen. I have many Japanese steel tea infusers, none as fine as this. Water poured directly against it will not get thru. My kitchen sink faucet spray when directed on it doesn't cause more than a drop to get thru. There is some sort of sealing on the mesh I think but I can't even see the holes. So why go paperless? Not for the cost of the filters but for the fuss factor (no messing with another piece in the puzzle, no "rinsing" and wetting the dry filter, bleached or unbleached?) and for the taste, nothing added but coffee and water. This is perfect: won't break down, won't cause an explosion, doesn't need polishing or take up counter space, performs consistently, self contained, and makes a most excellent cup of coffee. ...I think I might need to buy another one as back-up. This is a simple and perfect product.

I love this thing!!!! We've been monkeying with different coffee making techniques for a few years now. Our latest and greatest enjoyment for brewing coffee has been variations on a pour over to make Japanese brewed iced coffee... Basically letting strong black coffee drip on to ice. Why it's called Japanese iced brew I don't know but seems appropriate I have the perfect little made in japan brewing set up now. I was using a super cheap metal filter meant to go inside of the basket of an automatic coffee maker for this same purpose. It was a great introdcutory to pour over coffee, it was affordable (like $4.00) and worked pretty well. However after more than half a year of this method the slight annoyances of it were making themselves known, mostly that my little reusable filter didn't fit on any of my jars or pots for coffee, it wobbled and needing bracing, it tended to be messing and any slight bump or vibration on the counter sent a little slosh of wet grounds on to the counter. No biggie but I decided to get a proper filter with a base ring to support itself. At $16.00 this Hario filter seemed "expensive" after my $4.00 filter, hahaha, I laugh because all you need to do is avoid a few cups of outer world coffee to save the funds for this splurge. ;) I have to say this thing is brilliant!!! It's MUCH sturdier feeling plastic than I expected, like...it feels strong, has a nice finish...you get your hands on one you'll know what I mean. The ring easily attaches and detaches to the filter cone by aligning little feet and turning the ring so it locks on. Easy, lovely. The stability...oooohhhh....after fighting with my ill fitting not meant for what I was using it for coffe filter this thing is a dream. First time I made my pour over Japanese iced brew in a half year with out messing up my counter! Plus it drips really nicely, the narrow point allows the coffee to drip down beautifully. I found it easy to clean, as others have said just knock the grounds in to the trash then rinse in the sink. The handle was a bonus touch, I was used to carrying a hot filter to the trash to dump grounds, now I can carry this one by a handle and keep my fingers cool. Well worth the $16.00 and wish I'd been a little less frugal a few months back and got this sooner! The coffee tasted excellent. I think this will be excellent for traveling as well. The few times I've made coffee in a hotel room with the provided supplies I always end up sad...don't do it, don't make hotel coffee, it's crap. This is so light and small that it would take up very little room traveling. I am looking forward to the next time I make hotel room coffee cause between my Berkey travel water filter bottle, some decent French Roast coffee and this adorable little filter we will be sipping a lovely cup in comfort. I think this would be a great gift for people too.

This product is neither perfect nor terrible. For my preferences, it works well. I use a relatively fine grind, about a tbsp more than recommended for the amount of not-quite-boiling water (this is my usual amount of grounds for any method), and I pour slowly. Pros: - Portable - I can throw it in a suitcase or rucksack and make decent coffee wherever I can get hot water - Easy to clean - just dump the grounds and rinse for a few seconds - Can make a strong cup - using the amount of coffee I normally use - Fits just about any mug/cup and has a handle to be held over those it doesn't fit - Lets through the natural oils from the beans - Coffee tastes just a bit more mellow with this than when I use a drip coffee maker or even a French press Cons: - Takes some patience and attention to get it right. You have to let the grounds 'bloom' first by wetting them slightly for a few minutes before pouring, then you have to pour the hot water very slowly. You can't just pour hot water to the brim and walk away. - Lets a small amount (by my standards) of sediment through. The last half-sip will be full of sediment and should be left in the cup. - Really only designed for single cups or a very small pot of coffee. It takes long enough to poor one mug's worth; I would not want to spend the time to make a four-cup pot using this method. For that, you're better off with the solid plastic, ceramic, or glass filter holders that you can pour more hot water into at a time.

No paper filter is needed but it does work very well. The coffee taste is even better.

The cafeor from hario is an amazing small pour over coffee filter. It does take a bit of practice to make sure you flow the water in, with a constant rate. As it is for a one cup it can't hold a lot of water and you need to flow really slowly if you want to keep the coffee bean always wet. But the taste is amazing. One of the best product on the market, like the V60 from Hario too.

produto bom, mas com o tempo acabei usando o filtro de papel pois a tela vai ficando saturada

For me it’s worked wonderfully. I drink watered down coffee like an Americano. It saves me time too as there are too many parts to clean when using a coffee machine. This is just one simple filter which can be rinsed and it’s ready for next use. The product quality is good.

Excelente producto y riquísimo el café con este proceso
