Simple is the best way I can describe this coffee brewer. I love that's it's made from porcelain because it's easy to clean. With a little dish soap and rinse takes care of any coffee residue. I have tried many varieties of coffee makers such as Percolaters, French Presses, electric coffee makers and other pour overs brewers and can honestly say that this one is special because it's so basic and simple. Coffee flavor aromas just erupt and the taste of my coffee is clean. No severe aftertaste, bitterness or the occasional flavor of the pot. All you taste is the flavor of the coffee. If you are considering this pot, I do recommend some accessories to make your coffee experience easier. Of course your going to need a kettle or something to get your water hot.But I also recommend a measuring spoon for the coffee and measuring cup for the water. What I have come to realize after drinking a lot of bad coffee in my lifetime from friends houses and even coffee houses is that some people don't take measuring the water and coffee grounds seriously. If you get this pot, measuring is key because getting the ratio to coffee and water is very important. To help, the most common ratio for any pre ground store bought coffee is 6oz H2O/2tbsp of coffee. That's why I recommend getting a 32oz Pyrex measuring cup. It holds scolding hot water and it's easy to see the numbers. Another suggestion I would make is getting a 2tbsp measuring spoon. This makes it easier measure and creates less mess than double scooping a one tbsp measuring spoon.On a side note, Store your coffee grounds in the fridge and use filtered water If possible.It's so easy, boil the water, place the filter in the cone with the measured coffee grounds, measure the water in the Pyrex and then start pouring the hot water over the grounds. Use a spoon lift the grounds a bit as you pour the water and make sure not To flood the cone.Trust me, I am coffee junkie. Not many coffee shops will be able to compete with this simple set up.
