Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
- +A reusable stainless steel filter, with no consumable cost
- +591ml, brewing directly into its own carafe
- −$34.99 above the $29.99 median for a single size, where the AGOGO gives three for less
- −A metal filter passes oils and fines that paper holds back
- −No warranty term is published
- +Spiral ribs running to the top of the cone, creating an air-escape channel that no flat-walled dripper has
- +Sold in plastic, ceramic, heatproof glass and metal, so the same brew geometry comes at four price points
- +V60 papers are a shape rather than a closed system: Hario, Niveaya, PakTalk and others all make them
- +Reusable stainless V60 cones are sold by MISETTO, Barista Warrior and others
- −A single large hole makes the pour rate the brewer's responsibility, which is unforgiving for beginners
- −No price is published for it here
- −No capacity is published for the dripper itself
