Bodum POUR OVER Coffee Maker, 500ml / 17oz Glass Carafe with Reusable Stainless-Steel Filter and Removable Cork Grip, Manual Drip Coffee Brewer, 11592-109

Using a well-designed object is a joy and a pleasure to use. When something is well-designed, we don’t tend to notice because it just works. This is one of those objects. The design is wonderful. Someone thought about what would make a good pot for drip coffee, and then they made one. The bowl shape at the bottom is genius. When coffee is poured, the pot is horizontal and the fine grounds, those that make it through the filter, sink to the bottom of the bowl when you pour. They don’t end up in your cup. That’s all. No tricks. Just using gravity to make coffee better. The filter doesn’t clog. It works fast. I like making coffee one or two cups at a time. This is what it’s designed for. The removable cork is pleasing, and not fiddly to use. The pot is easy to clean. But the real genius here is the shape of the bowl. It just works.

It's a brilliant size to keep in the office. The filter and the pot is easy to clean, great value for money. Seems to be made out of sturdy glass, no issues encountered so far.

Lovely, clean coffee- especially with paper filter added. Only problem is the cork belt position means you can’t tell if it’s filled. Just got to guess, practice will help. A clear heatproof belt would have been much more practical- probably less attractive though?

So there is a trick to how to make good coffee using this pour over filter coffee pot. And it’s quite simple. You put the coffee grounds in the top filter. Then you press it down. Gently though. You don’t wanna break the thing. Then when the coffee grounds are likely compacted start pouring boiled water directly over the top of the coffee grounds very slowly. You’ll see the coffee grounds soak up the water and should now form a foam over the top of the grounds you can start to pour the boiled water faster into the filter now and this will slowly drip through to the coffee pot below. Once you’ve done this let it settle for about a minute then pour out and enjoy the coffee. for those that I found it produces weak coffee this is probably because you’re pouring the boiled water of a very loose coffee grounds far too quickly. So you’re ending up drinking basically hot water tinged with a taste of coffee. Take your time! I mean it. It might take you nearly a whole minute to pour the water into the filter. Or longer. It’s worth it don’t rush. Enjoy.

Not as quick as a cafetière but quality takes longer - so I’m told

I'm picky about coffee and often I find that it can be either too bitter or burnt depending upon which method is used to create the coffee. This has been great, the coffee isn't bitter, it's a lovely taste, it's easy to clean and it doesn't burn. Having lived in America with their filters, then the UK with their tendency toward instant I tried all sorts of better solutions likes 'mukka' pots and nespresso machines, but this is the one for me.

Bought one of these after my clever dripper broke. Looks good, makes a decent cup of coffee but it takes ages! I can't be bothered to stand there in the morning pouring little bits of water through and waiting for it to drip down. With the clever dripper, you pop the filter paper in, add coffee, add hot water, put lid on for 5 mins and then place over your mug and it's done. This is just too much of a faff. I also found it quite difficult to pour. It has the cork grip but I couldn't get a decent hold on it. And the glass is burning hot. I have exchanged mine now for a cafetiere.

Overall, Bodum make excellent filter coffee products, and up to a point, this is no exception. The biggest fault with this 1/2 litre jug is the size of the filter. Like most people ( I suspect), I don't own a slow pour kettle, that means you have to pour the water onto the coffee grounds in three or four stages or it will overflow. Even gentle water pouring from an ordinary kettle won't alleviate this small problem. The neck of the jug is also smaller than the larger Bodum jug, and therefore less easy to clean. If you like filter coffee though, & all you want is a single mug, this is a great little jug that suits it's purpose well.

L'estetica di questa "macchinetta del caffè" è meravigliosa ed è quello che più mi ha spinto a prenderla. Oltre ad un prezzo decisamente accettabile ed il paio di accessori di cui è dotata. Arriva corredata di copertura in sughero, filtro da appoggiare sopra riutilizzabile, dosatore per il caffè, tappo. Il sugero è resistente ed una volta versata l'acqua protegge le mani dalle scottature, è chiaramente sfilabile in modo da poter inserire la boccia di vetro il lavastoviglie: si slaccia il filo e si sfila per poi rimetterlo una volta che il vetro è asciutto. il filtro riutilizzabile può essere tenuto sia con che senza filtri di carta ma la pulizia è veramente facile e veloce che abbiamo deciso di no comprare i filtri in carta (rispetto ad orziere od altre metodologie di caffè), viene riempito e svuotato in un attimo. Abbiamo questa dimensione ridotta in quanto beviamo poco caffè ma devo dire che è veramente veloce come preparazione ed anche come pulizia. il Vetro non è spessissimo come sono abituata per altre tazze contenitore ma devo dire che è ben formata e per il momento (due settimane) stà reggendo parecchio bene. E' decisamente molto elegante e di bell'aspetto anche da lasciare a vista sul bancone sia vuota che piena, fà veramente la sua figura.

Fantastic and easy to handle coffee brewer.

purchased bodum and i havent been disappointed. perfect brew everytime. easy to clean and coffee tastes great. love the way it looks, fantastic product

Heel blij met de chemex (het glazen potje), mooi design. Het bijgeleverde filter filtert helaas niet voldoende en er komt klein gruis in de koffie. Dit kan ook ongezond zijn. Ik heb het filter vervangen met katoenen koffiefilterzakjes om alsnog duurzaam te blijven, aanrader.

とても可愛い商品で プレゼントなので相手が喜んでもらえると良いなと
