Barista WarriorPour Over Coffee Maker Set - Pour Over Kit Includes Large Glass Carafe and Reusable Dripper Coffee Filter and Coffee Scoop - 8 Cup Drip Coffee Brewer (34oz | 1000ml)

First impression, this is a quality product. The glass carafe is made of borisilicate glass, which is strong, heat resistant, and can withstand temperature changes unlike standard glassware. The design of the carafe is lightweight with beautiful and functional lines, a good shaped handle and, the added measurements on the side not only look good but are a nice feature. The filter is the standard dual wall stainless steel filter, and unlike some I have used in the past, this one allows the water to flow through the grinds and filter freely without clogging up. I should point out, when washing the filter, ONLY rotate the washcloth/sponge counter clockwise on the inside of the filter. This way you will not "lift" up the inside mesh and break the seam. I would also recommend a light soak in hot water after washing (you can use a little distilled vinegar in the soak to clean thoroughly) followed by another light wash and rinse. This helps to eliminate build up and residue of coffee oils. Also included, which to be honest, is my new favorite piece of coffee equipment, the acacia wood handled stainless steel coffee scoop. It is the perfect shape and size. Acacia wood is by far the ideal choice. Acacia wood is durable, dense, hard, does not scratch easily, water resistant, is not prone to warping, and is antibacterial. This is why you will see cutting boards and food serving trays and/or kitchen items made with acacia wood. Excellent choice.One last thing I should mention, when brewing with a stainless steel filter instead of paper, I find that I have to adjust my grind size just a little finer to accommodate the faster flow rate. For those who haven't tried both methods, the steel filter has less resistance, therefore, the water flows though more quickly than paper. Also, the steel filter eliminates the paper taste, which, no amount of rinsing will fix.The end result, a clean, well balanced, cup of coffee.

I've been looking for a truly great coffee pour-over set for years, and I think I've finally found it! Bottom line: this set does everything I've been looking for, with no compromises. I love it.Unboxing this coffee set, it feels very high end. The packaging is clean, and it contains supplemental materials with clear instructions that helped me brew a truly great cup of coffee on my first attempt.In my search for the perfect pour-over solution I have tried many products, always looking for:- Clean flavor- Retain essential oils- Very little coffee grit in the cupIn my search, I found that paper cone filters do well at preventing coffee grit, but they leave a distinct flavor, like drinking coffee out of a paper bag. I tried pre-rinsing, but you can never fully eliminate that flavor. I enjoy lighter roasts with delicate flavors, and I can always taste the paper.So I tried metal reusable filters, but they leave grit in the cup. This changes the flavor of the brew, and it makes the last few sips miserable. I want to sip on my coffee, not crunch on it.The filter in this pour-over set is the first one that does EVERYTHING I have been looking for. The coffee I'm getting from this set is better than any pour-over method I have tried, and I love that I am saving on wasteful paper filters. The filter and glass pitcher feel extremely solid, and they are extremely easy to clean. A simple rinse in the faucet, and you're ready for the next cup. It is also dishwasher safe for deeper cleaning, which is a good idea to do every few weeks if you're using it frequently, as I am.This is an excellent product at a steal of a price! Highly recommended, as you can't do better!

The filter is great , there is a coffee measure…I would heap it for my blend .Boil water and pour over the grounds . The grounds will bloom . ( mild foam) . Then you can pour a bit let it drain and repeat. It takes a couple minutes. The pitcher doesn’t drip.I love the simple coffee method and no more paper filters.I find it easy to empty the remaining grounds and rinse.I don’t know how durable this will be , but so far I am enjoying the coffee.

1. I really like the new stainless steel coffee filter. The coffee tasted fresh and clean. I expect this filter will not be problematic getting clogged as the filter holes in the screen seem a bit larger.2. The water filters nicely into the carafe, some of the oil is visible on the brewed coffee after the water filters through the filter, the taste of the coffee is great, and I like the silicone part of the filter that sits on the glass carafe.3. The glass carafe is a nice shape, and is easy to pour from and clean. I hand clean my coffee supplies.4. I hope the glass is slightly tougher than previous glass carafes I have owned.5. I think the directions for measuring the coffee could be clearer. I have a digital scale, but if a person doesn't have a scale, it might be difficult to figure out the proper amount of ground coffee to use.6. I measured out the weight of the ground coffee in a scoop to be about 9 grams (1/4-ounce). I looked up somewhere on line, the proper weight of coffee grounds to water and discovered the best is about 18 grams of coffee (2 slightly rounded scoops of medium grind---count to 10) to about 285-88 grams of water on the carafe measure.7. Is it possible to print on the carafe the amount of coffee per grams of water?8. I think customers might get frustrated not knowing, by just reading the directions, how much coffee/water they should use for a proper brew. It isn't clear. I wrote on my card the proper amount of coffee to water ratio for future uses.9. Also, while I know it is difficult to describe the proper size of the ground coffee beans, it would also be helpful for newer coffee drinkers. I use a Krupps burr grinder.I look forward to continuing using the filter and carafe. I really like not using paper filters and losing the tasty coffee oils in the paper.Thank you.Tina

I bought this hoping to make more cold brew by have a couple of these going. NOPE.It is advertised for hot coffee pour over, and it is great quality. For my cold brew, it goes through too fast.Recommended for hot coffee lovers... it does a great job of that.
