Homend Pour Over Coffee Maker 4-Cup 16oz 480ml with 2 Reusable Cloth Drip Filter Wooden Collar Holder Heat

I had been eating the Hario version of this but what can I say, I love a good deal, and this was about half the price. I don't know if the more expensive one is better made but this one is fine for me. I find it easy to clean and use be and it has become my favorite morning brewer. Great for that full taste coffee that goes well with toast and eggs. Read more

TL;DR: Makes great coffee, and the price is right. Cloth filter drip coffee makers make tasty coffee as long as you replace the filters every so often (I use mine for about 1.5 months with daily use, which is probably longer than I should). My main issue with quality is the leather thong and wooden ring around the middle warping and feeling cheap, and thinness of the wire on the filter assembly. If you want to delve into the world of fabric drip coffee machines this is a great place to start. Wet the bag, toss the water, Throw 26 grams of finely (larger than espresso ground, smaller than french press grind) coffee, or the equivalent of a small handful, enough to go to about 1" from the top of the filter, into the top, add 204 degree water, wait 30 seconds, and then slowly add more 204 degree water until you have half a container full, and drink. Yum tasty coffee and a satisfying process. BUT: Like starting with a 300cc motorcycle, you will want to upgrade to a higher quality product if you plan to use this for a long time. The wooden ring around the middle has already warped after a few months of use, and the leather thong / plastic bead that holds the wooden piece in place is low quality and stretched. The glass is quite thin, but this is true of all the variants I've tried so far. The filter material is a little thinner than the Hario (with plastic ring, not wooden) that it replaced, but I don't find this has any impact on coffee quality. However, it makes a tasty cup of coffee, it is not broken or fundamentally flawed in any way, and I've been using it every day for several months. It's a good option if you want to kick the paper filters and drink a lot of coffee. PRO TIP: Skip the stainless steel or aluminum no filter options, they gunk up with the coffee oils after a month or two of use and become almost useless without a serious cleaning. The best cup of coffee you can make will be a paper or cloth filter, so grab yourself a chemex, one of these badboys, or the Hario or other brand alternative for an extra 25$. Read more

I did not actually use this, I returned it in favor of the Hario coffee brewer. I did a side by side comparison, and returned this one. The glass carafe on this one was lighter (222.6 g vs 270.9 g) and the bottom was not as flat and thick, but showed glass blower's swirl marks. And huh, nowhere did it say it was a "Homend" brewer, but instead it was a "Gater". Also the flannel was slightly thinner, though they did include 2 of them. The handle wood had a different finish than the woodneck wood. The woodnecks were also thinner and did not close around the carafe very well. But on the positive side, it probably does make just as good coffee, and costs about half the price. And the labels on the box are quite amusing. Odd coffee scoop too. It just was so odd, and did not have any elegance to it. Read more
