Makes the most delicious coffee. Never a bitter note. And I like it strong.

Nice size for single person. Sturdy, pleasing. Makes good coffee even with the fine grind I need to use up.

this thing makes really good coffee, although it is a pretty involved process to actually use it. the filter papers for this are very thick, yielding a very clean, crisp cup of coffee without any grittiness or harsh flavors. it is a pain in the a** to use though; you have to use the official filters for this, as knockoff brands will not fit right, and you have to rinse the paper before brewing or else your coffee will taste like paper. the official filters are also really expensive and kind of wasteful, as they are huge and you can really only use it to brew one mug of coffee at a time. it does look nice, and it is pretty easy to clean after use (although if you want to put it in the dishwasher, you have to remove the wooden handles, and getting them back on is also a huge hassle). you also have to use quite a bit more beans with each cup than normal and you have to grind pretty finely unless you like your coffee very weak tasting. it can also be inconsistent; unless you brew the EXCACT same way every time, your cup of coffee will taste slightly different (this includes amount of coffee, coffee grind, amount of water, brewing time, blooming, and stirring). honestly, if you are looking to up your coffee's taste, i would first start with buying better coffee beans, and most importantly, grinding them fresh right before brewing (which is also a giant pain, but worth it in my opinion). you'll notice a much bigger difference doing that than you will using this device, even if you just use a normal automatic coffee brewer that you would see in like an office break room

Excellent for a cup or two of coffee

What I love is that it's easy, and the coffee is ready almost immediately. I absolutely love knowing that my coffee is clean"¦ free of chemicals and free of whatever germs grow inside of traditional coffee-making appliances.
