Overview
A home brewer who likes to control the pour gets one glass vessel that is both brewer and carafe: a filter rests in the top, grounds go in, hot water is poured over by hand, and the brewed coffee collects below to be poured from the glass handle.
Glass from body to handle means nothing but the filter touches the coffee, and the whole thing goes in the dishwasher. Brewing is entirely manual: water temperature, pour speed and grind are up to the user, and with no heating element the coffee cools as soon as it is brewed.
Who it's for
Kitchens where a kettle and a few minutes of attention are part of the coffee ritual, and where a batch for more than one drinker is the norm. People wanting a hot plate, timer or any automation should buy an electric drip machine instead.
Pros and cons
- Glass body and glass handle
- No electricity needed
- Brews several cups at once
- Doubles as a serving carafe
- Filters not included
- Filter size not listed
- No warming function
- Fully manual brewing
Performance notes
The result depends on the pour: slow, even water over the grounds extracts evenly, while a fast dump channels through the bed. Grind size and water temperature set the strength, since nothing in the vessel controls them. The glass does not insulate, so coffee should be served soon after brewing.
