Mostly good, but have to pour water very slow to get stronger brew
Pros:
- no additional filters to buy
- easy to clean
Cons:
- water flows through too fast resulting in weak coffee; must pour slowly to get stronger brew
- cone separates from base, presumably for easy cleaning but can sometimes be a nuisance
Probably the most helpful tip I can share about this is to pour the hot water really slowly, or add it just a little at a time. It takes longer but the coffee turns out much better. On the first day, I filled the filter with hot water and it drained through pretty fast and the coffee was really weak. Since then, I have been pouring just a little water, waiting while that drips through, then pouring a little more, letting that drip through, etc. It's time-consuming but the coffee turns out better. I think maybe with the filter completely full, the weight of the water pushes it through faster than if there is only a little bit of water.
