FOXAS Pour Over Coffee Filter Dripper, Reusable Stainless Steel Metal Drip Coffee Maker Cone, Paperless Permanent Coffee Strainer, Coffee Mesh Filters for 1-4 Cup with Cleaning Brush

Fit nicely on cup or thermos. Great drip coffee. Perfect size mess for drip coffee. All stainless. Easy clean under faucet. Goes with us when we travel. We bring a plastic water boiler too.

I like that you can put this over any cup to make coffee. I was concerned that the water would come out the sides before penetrating the coffee grounds but that only happened when I poured the water directly on the sides of the filter. It works well and was not very messy. Made from metal that is not too thin. This would be good for a camping trip where you don’t have any place to plug in a coffee maker (but have a pot to heat up water). For use at home, it gives you more control over the water temperature which can be a good thing if you know what you are doing. The same coffee can taste different due to the grind or water temperature. It takes more patience than other techniques as you have to continue to slowly pot the water in rather than push a button and walk away like with a coffee maker or just mix and wait like with French press. It is much easier to clean than a coffee maker or French press. I usually use the French press because I am good at that technique and tend to mess up pour over more often, but I use this pour over when I don’t have much time to clean up.

Pros: Very effective at straining. Cons: Too effective at straining to use for multiple cups in under 3 minutes. As some people have noted, if you try to make TWO cups of coffee, it does not drip well or hardly at all on the second cup. The reason is because it is so effective in straining the first cup that the tiny holes in the bottom are clogged after the first cup. If you what it to drain properly after straining a cup of coffee, you are going to rinse it really really well. You are going to have to turn it upside down, go to your kitchen faucet, turn it on high, and run pressure water through the holes in the bottom and let it drain out of the top. It's annoying if you are making a cup of coffee for your mom and want one for yourself. You're going to have to wait about 3 extra minutes to properly rinse it out.

I really like this product. Very sturdy for the price and it's vented so you can see the level of liquid in your cup before overflow. Prior to having this filter, I had a plastic Melitta pour over filter cup, so there are a few advantages to having this stainless one. 1) no need to have a paper filter and almost no sludge in the bottom of your cup, 2) I can use this over my small mouthed insulated cups which I could not do with the Melitta filter. 3) as mentioned above, you can see if it's going to overflow without lifting it off of your cup. One other advantage is that the plastic one's stability points sometimes break off and that can be a drag when you set the filter basket down and it tips over. That doesn't happen with this product, and it comes with its own stainless drip tray. I'd buy it again, if I'll ever have to. Pretty sure this one will last a long time if taken care of minimally.

So far so good I have bought three of these filters ,gave as gift and they work well. I have bought another brand and it clogged,but the FOXAS IS A GOOD PRODUCT, I think its the Honeycomb style filter that makes it so effective. Be mindfull mesh style filters must be cleaned - washed properly to get put the excess oil and catch from the brewed coffee, dont just leave it in the sink it will build up.

The base is too small for my coffee mug. I had to use it with a smaller cup. The water runs through this filter too quickly to make a strong cup of coffee. It turns out weak tasting to me. Then you have all these wet coffee grounds to dispose of. I can't just rinse it out and put all that down the drain. Tapping it out onto a paper towel makes a big mess. This is not worth all of that, especially first thing in the morning! *Update: Okay, I've calmed down now... I have a favorite large coffee mug that's too large for this filter ~ it would fall into the cup. I'm using a smaller cup and am not thrilled about that... but if you pour in a small amount of water, a few Tablespoons at a time, the coffee will be strong enough. A second mug is too much for me. I end up drinking 1 1/2 cups, then freezing the cold coffee in cubes for another use. If you leave the grounds to dry a bit, you can scrape them into the wastebasket with a knife. Then wash it out with a brush. It's still not the greatest, but I'll upgrade it from 1* to 3*s. It'll probably be the right size for most everyone.

This filter works well. The holes in this filter are very small, so you can use a fine grind of your coffee to get more flavor. I grind my coffee at espresso fine grind. I put 3/8 cup of grounds into this filter (about 1/2 full). I pour boiling water over, no need to stir. filters as quickly as a drip coffee maker. I use this to fill my 16oz coffee cup. I will sometimes make a 2nd cup with the same grounds (a little weaker, but still good). I recommend cleaning with your kitchen sprayer (works well within an hour or so of use). If you leave grounds in this filter overnight, when you go to use it next day, you will need a brush to get it clean... still not too bad though).

Well this filter was great when new. But after a few months it slowed way down. And now it barley works at all. The hot water and grinds just sit in the cone and takes FORVER TO DRAIN. Would not recommend this to anyone who wants a filter to last longer than a couple on the.

I've tried all sorts of coffee makers, automatic drip, various pour-over systems with filters, espresso machines, and even an aero squeeze coffee maker. Ultimately I come back to basic one or two cup manual pour-over funnel makers, but I hate the paper filters. I'm always running out and they're so wasteful. So I was super impressed with this simple one-cuo maker (I make big cups so this actually makes more than one cup at a time ). I can tweek the coffee how I like it, it's fast and requires a minimum of attention, though I do actually stand over it and stir while the water is running through the coffee. Then I'm done and on my way. Cleanup waits for my return, or even the next day.....I scoop out the old coffee for composting.....rinse the funnel clean in a few seconds and I'm ready to brew another cup. No filters to mess with, no rich hard coffee pucks to scrape out, just scoop and rinse and you're ready for another round....love it!

Love it. Better than using the plastic machines, has helped in eliminating the toxic plastics in our lives.

My experience with this FOKAS coffee drip cone is very different than most of the revues. I think it works to perfection! It flows through very quickly in seconds rather than the couple of minutes that my #2 Melita plastic cone and paper filter takes. No coffee grounds leak out into the cup. It's super quick and easy to rinse out the coffee grounds which I let go down the sink. I don't find that the metal handle for removing the cone gets any more than slightly warm...definitely not too hot to hold comfortably. I use Starbuck's ground coffee from the supermarket and found no difference in taste of strength of the coffee. The bag doesn't indicate the coarseness of the grind. I found the same fast and issueless flow through when the cone had two scoops of grounds in it. Haven't tried more than that, yet.

Love that it’s stainless steel as I’m trying to get away from plastics but very annoying to clean as the pores get blocked from the coffee grinds/oil build-up. It was easy at first because I would use bamboo coffee filters inside but then thought to try as is but it’s messy to clean after and easier to clog up. I highly HIGHLY recommend you use some sort of filter so you can quickly dispose of the coffee and not worry about it clogging up so fast. Regular weekly deep cleaning is recommended which makes sense.

Use it at least twice daily and works exactly as expected. I had to add a paper filter (completely unrelated to their product, just to eliminate the oils which weren’t sitting well with me any more) and it works with those well! Cleans up easily both by hand and dishwasher. No sign of wear yet! Can’t complain.
