Fino Pour-Over Coffee Brewing Filter Cone, Number 2-Size, Black, Brews 2 to 6-Cups

Great little item if you don’t want to deal with single serve coffee pot. Very convenient.

I have had one of these single-cup coffee drip dispensers for a long time. It uses a standard #2 paper filter, but I use #4 filters instead, since they are cheaper (but the #4 filter will stick up a bit past the top edge of this cone). It is still going strong after almost ten years, and I wash it every month or so on the top rack of my dishwasher. I decided to get another one, since it is hard to find good functional products like this anymore. It has FOUR holes in the bottom that allow for quick, even draining of the water after you pour it over the grounds. I use about 20 to 30 grams of ground coffee to make a 12 to 18 ounce cup of coffee. I have used both store-bought ground coffee (in the past) and now fresh ground coffee (I grind the beans finely, so the 4 holes on the bottom help keep the water flowing through properly). This cone will fit on top of large and small cups alike: the outer diameter of the base is 4.75 inches, which means it will fit quite comfortably on a cup that has a top diameter of 4.5 inches, and the inside diameter (where the coffee seeps through) is only 2 inches in diameter, which means it will fit on *any* cup with a top diameter between 2.25 inches and 4.5 inches. The base, excepting the 4 holes, is solid, so VERY LITTLE HEAT ESCAPES from your cup while the cone is on top of it and the water is still seeping through. Anyway, other cones designed for one cup all have various drawbacks: some have bottoms with unnecessary, non-functional grooves that allow heat to escape, or there is only one big hole for the coffee to go through and the water spends too much time in the grounds making the coffee bitter, or you have to pour just a little bit of water over the grounds at a time, or the hole is really big or there are too many smaller holes and the water goes through too quickly providing a weaker brew (or requiring the use of more grounds), or some other poorly thought-out design flaw. And cones made of ceramic are heavy and could topple lighter-weight or taller cups. I saw that this item goes out-of-stock from time to time, and wanted a backup in case I ever lose the one I have been using (without a hitch, I might add). I recommend you buy one before this particular design becomes extinct. EDIT: I forgot to add that the very bottom of this cone extends a mere 3/8 inches into the cup you place it on, reducing the likelihood of the brewed coffee coming into contact with the plastic (unless you pour too much water into the cone and don't monitor it as it seeps through) and also making it unlikely that you will spill the grounds when you whisk the cone away after brewing.

Works well

This is a handy little item and fits my coffee cups real good without wanting to fall off. Nice and stable. The Melita filter #4 is what I ordered for this because they are cheaper than the #2 and only stick up just a bit on top. I think, if used as directed, that the 4 holes in the bottom allow the water to drain out too fast to make best use of the coffee grounds which is why I only gave 4 stars. That said I'll explain how I use it. I have found that one of my Bunn coffee filters can be used with this and works just as well and is much cheaper. I measure ny cup of water and boil in a pan. Then I allow the temp to drop a bit and add my coffee grounds to the hot water and let it steep for a couple of minutes. Then I pour it into the filter and let it strain the grounds. This eliminates any problem of too many holes in the filter holder and gives me a good cup of coffee. I recommend this to anyone wanting to make a single cup of coffee with no fuss, no muss.

Recently, I visited Blue Bottle coffee shop in Brooklyn, the lastest coffee extravaganza from San Francisco, and realized that they have some really good tasting coffee. I was intrigued that they didn't use the regular filter machines like other less-snobby coffee places. Instead, they used the pour-over technique that in their own words intensifies the flavor of the coffee and lets you enjoy your cup of joe. Amazingly, they did not lie, and I immediately wanted to switch from regular filter to pour-over. Of course, they were ready to help, and wanted to sell me their porcelain filter cone for a great price of just under $30. Since money is not found on streets these days, plan B was to go to Amazon and see if it would be possible to buy something that is priced for normal people who are not posh Brooklynites. The answer is in front of you, this little piece of plastic magic combined with good quality coffee and constantly boiling water on your stove will return your faith in good coffee. The cone is good for two cups of coffee, so it will probably serve well most of the households.

Good quality cone for pour over coffee. Very convenient for when someone wants just one more cup after the pot has run out or to take when you travel. This has 3 holes in the bottom so it can drain very quickly. Usually takes the #2 filter but in a pinch the #4 will work too. I am the type of person that does not just flood the cone with hot water and then let it drain. I like to put small amounts of water just enough to cover the coffee so that all the water flows through the maximum of the coffee grounds instead of filling with water and having coffee grounds left along the sides of the filter as it drains out. Only drawback, which wasn't even an issue until I bought another style, is that the base covers the whole bottom with no hole to see how full the cup is getting. You have to lift it up to check how filled the cup is. Another style I have recently purchased has a hole that allows you to see into the cup without lifting it up. Problem with that one is it only has one hole to drain. A combo of the two would be a great mash up.

I've had these off and on throughout my life and they are a great way to make coffee for just one person. A scoop or two of coffee in the filter you put in it, then hot water, and you have a perfect cup of coffee with not mess. Have used this or a variant of this as a student, visiting noncoffee drinkers, as a gift, etc. Great, functional idea.

I find I do t waste coffee and this pour over method makes the best coffee

Facil de usar, buena extraccion de cafe tiene 4 orificios en la parte de abajo por lo cual el filtrado es mas rapido. La uso con los filtros de papel para cafeteras eléctricas. El tamaño es un poco mas grande de lo que pense pero eso me gusto porque se adapta bien a tazas de boca ancha.

The coffee cone arrived in good time. The price was reasonable at about only £3. It surprises me that it had to be imported from USA. This is a quick way of making a cup of coffee for one. Heating the milk improves the flavour of the coffee, I find. As I have no coffee cone filters yet, I am using kitchen towel (paper). If you compost, it is easy to transfer the paper and used coffee grounds to a container of items destined for the compost bin.

Ce support est très pratique à utiliser pour une tasse, café vite prêt et ne prend pas de place! Je recommande

Material bom. Bonito, tamanho certinho.

Fácil. De usar y limpiar
