Bodum 34 Oz Pour Over Coffee Maker, High-Heat Borosilicate Glass with Reusable Stainless Steel Filter and Cork Grip - Made in Portugal

I've been using this pour over for about 3 months, and I have no complaints. The reusable filter is non-toxic, eco-friendly, and produces a smooth flavor with no grit. Set up takes under a minute, and clean up is easy considering the bottle and filter are both dishwasher safe. It's big enough to make 3-4 cups! The design is also boho minimalist, which I love.It's also portable! I think this would be a great option for RV's / travel / camping as well. I usually use lavazza brand coffee grinds, and they work great! Tastes amazing :)

We had a Cuisinart small coffee maker which we loved, but it was black plastic. Once we read about how toxic black plastic is, we decided to change our method of making coffee. I wish Cuisinart would make that tiny coffee maker in stainless steel, I'd buy one asap. It made a great cup of coffee.So, we're back to pouring hot water over our coffee grounds again. We did this back in the 1980's but got too busy to do that so, we bought a coffee maker.It does take time to pour hot water over grounds but I find it calming. I make my own cup, using decaf and my husband makes his own with super charged caffeine coffee. Both cups comes out delicious. We experimented and found using a bamboo coffee filter made the coffee stronger and more delicious than without it. It slows the water in the grounds than the filter that comes with Bodum glass coffee maker. It easy, you just put the bamboo filter in the stainless steel filter. The coffee is stronger than using the filter alone.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was looking for a glass carafe to chill my coffee for iced coffee when I discovered this gem! This is my first attempt making pourover coffee and it turned out wonderfully. The glass carafe comes with everything you need. It is a quality product and design. The glass carafe is substantial-not weak, cheap glass. I love the cork collar with the leather strap-which removes easily for cleaning.

Very pretty. Returned because it was too fragile for my husband to use. 'nough said

9/17/24 update: Apparently the vendor read my message complaining about the fact that I cannot use the upgraded filter they had included in the first Bodum Pour Over Coffee Maker they sent me and so they sent me another unit which includes the old coffee filter along with another carafe. I'm blown away by their professionalism and concern about providing great service. They sent me a second Bodum Pour Over Coffee Maker, but this one includes the original coffee filter, just like my original one. WOW! Great Customer Service!9/15/24 update: I reduced the rating one star because I recalled a main reason I stopped using the fine mesh stainless filter I purchased separately after I bought my first Bodum Pour Over Coffee Maker. We are on a septic system and coffee grounds should not be deposited into a septic tank, and so it is imperative that I always filter coffee grounds through a paper filter so I can minimize the amount of grounds that get past the filter and into the drain, and the current "upgraded" version comes with a filter system that precludes that possibility. I'm just thankful that I still have the original coffee filter which fits a number 4 cone filter and will use that filter exclusively moving forward. Replacing it currently costs about an additional $10.Previous comments- I love the glass carafe. I am a second time buyer whose previous carafe recently broke. The reason for my low rating is, the supposed upgrade stainless filter, does not do a very good job filtering out grounds from store bought pre-ground coffee, and there are no #4 size or larger paper filters that I have been able to find, that fit the included stainless filter.The previous version came with a filter into which I could place a standard #4 paper cone filter.The only reason I'm not returning this version is I still have the filter that came with my first Bodum Carafe. It's drawback is that it uses a fair amount of plastic which comes into contact with the coffee, which kind of defeats much of the purpose for using a glass carafe instead of a much more convenient and less expensive Mr. Coffee electric coffee maker which, in my experience, makes a very tasty cup of coffee if you folliow their instructions.I also have another fully stainless filter I purchased previously for the earlier version and it, fortunately, does a better job filtering out coffee grounds than the one included with this unit. I recently became more disciplined about only drinking one 6 ounce cup of regular coffee per day, and have started using the third party stainless filter when I make my daily cup of coffee.Whenever I make 12 ounces of Thai Tea, however, I use the original "plasticy" filter with a #4 paper filter to gather the Thai Tea remnants. The filter that came with this unit is simply gathering dust.

We absolutely love it! First off the driver actually ran down our long driveway that goes downhill in 4-in snow to deliver it. What an awesome driver, when they could have just driven right by or thrown it at the top of our driveway as others have done. Second, this is really easy to use and I absolutely love it. The coffee came out tasting so much better than it does in that ridiculous drip coffee maker. Poor slow, to no overflow filter. But you will have to stop several times and keep adding more water as it goes down. You need patience for this because it takes quite a bit of time. But the end game is completely worth it. I wanted to show that my hand, as a medium-sized hand woman, is able to get all my fingers on the cork. Another reviewer had complained that she could not but she was not even trying from her picture. Of course it's not going to be perfect for everyone and yes the glass gets hot. To make that perfect cup or more of coffee, your water temperature should be between 195 to 205°. Do not go any higher as your coffee could taste burnt.I have not tried it with a filter yet, but I will. Being somebody who has high LDL it is recommended that we paper filter our coffee as there are kahweal and safestol in coffee beans that can be filtered out with a paper filter. This is true for me because we used to have a coffee grinder pot that did not use paper filters and once I stopped using it at the recommendation from my doctor, my cholesterol went down by 10%.Lastly another reviewer was not sure about the little plastic piece that comes to put in the top to pour your coffee. She was afraid it was going to break the glass. Hot glass is not going to break as easy as cold glass. And if you ever so carefully put it in there like I did you're completely fine. It actually slides in very easy due to the Steam on the glass.
