Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
- +$19.99, well under the $29.99 median, in three sizes to 1508ml
- +A reusable steel filter with no ongoing filter cost
- +Fully dishwasher safe, where most here are only partly
- +Made in Europe
- −A metal filter passes oils and fines that paper traps
- −No warranty term is published
- −No rib design is published, which is what governs airflow around the filter
- +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
