fascinated with this
 

I receive a little pamphlet through our local Krogers grocery store called Private Selection. The latest featured a pour over coffee carafe and filters. The carafe is glass with a wood top and the filter is pottery.

This is absolutely beautiful. I have never used a pour over coffee maker and this looks more like a piece of art. I am just starting to look around for something like this, even using the contact us form on privateselection.com

Does anyone use the pour over coffee makers? Something new to me and I think it is so pleasing to the eye.

This would work for me since I am the only coffee drinker here and only drink a cup in the a.m.

Kind of in this vein but the carafe is glass, but you can get the general idea.

I make my coffee like that all the time. My container is not ceramic but I love my coffee made this way with fine grind espresso. I like my coffee strong.

Thanks for the input....I found one very similar on Amazon and am thinking it over...it is pricey when I add a few little accessory items.

Melitta makes a plastic one, not as pretty, and I make my coffee in the am with the hot water dispenser installed under the sink. I use #2 filter cones.https://www.walmart.com/ip/21777801?...&wl13=&veh=sem

I saw that one, and thought it might be a good way for me to try it out first.

Good idea. they all work the same way, but some are prettier than others. I am a "dropper" so know anything ceramic wouldn't last long with me!!

My single cup drip pot uses the same idea - the difference is it heats the water for me. It's the only coffee I like - even larger drip pots don't make a product i like.

I don't mind my cheap Mr.coffee but this is so pretty..

This is the one I used decades ago when I only had time for a cup or 2 in the AM. Now I do a 1/2 pot each AM. But it was great coffee made this way. If you only do 1 cup for yourself, this would be my answer. I had friends that had the pot with the wood top (again, decades ago) and it was delish coffee.

I got one similar to that about 20 years ago. I use it when I only want one cup or when my electric pot is out. The top of mine is plastic and it fits over most of my cups so I can choose which or what kind of cup I want. I don't like plastic cups to drink out of. Mine takes a #2 cone filter or a #4 if I can't find a 2. I cut the top of the cone down a bit so it fits - or just leave it since I am doing only a cup.They are nice. I also have a small electric drip Mr Coffee that says it holds 4 cups but the cups are small so when my hubby makes me coffee every morning, the pot says there is 2.5 cups of coffee - which just fills a regular coffee cup. I would never get rid of my single cup kind.

I had an electric single coffee cup machine for years. (I am the only coffee drinker in the house.) When it died, I went to the type that you poured the water in, but got tired have having to heat the water and then pour it in the funnel. Sometimes the filter does't want to cooperate and if you pour in too much water there is an overflow issue. It was easier for me to just fill a water tank, press the button, do something else, come back and my coffee was ready to go. (I use Keurig now.) My morning routine is usually, turn on the coffee maker, decide what I want to have, put away the dishes in the dishwasher, and when I am done my coffee is ready to go. I am not a morning person, so the simpler for me the better.

I use Chemex, same idea but clear glass.

How is this process any different than the hot water going over the coffee in the Kuerig? Same process, less expensive over time.....the Walmart Melia pour over is only $2.60......GOOD WAY TO CHECK OUT THIS pour over process.

We used something similar, years ago, it was called a drip-a-lator.

since I live alone I use a drip filter to make one cup at a time. I tried making two cups in a regular coffee maker, but the first cup tasted SO much better than the second -- and I wasn't waiting that long between cups either.

I looked for a pour over today at Walmart, but it must only be online.

We use the pour over type. My husband even hand grinds the beans most days. I usually use the electric grinder if I am making the coffee. He likes the control on the grind. But pour over makes the best coffee IMHO.

is this any different than drip coffee> when we were using well water coffee was much better made this way. I had an aluminum pot and also a pretty ceramic one. They came in different sizes, usually 2 to 7 cups

I really dont know. I did a quick search about the process, and there are some additional steps that help ensure a good cup of coffee.

I have one (a cheap one from the store), and use it at work (there is a Kuerig there, but it makes horrible coffee). If you pour a little to get the grounds wet, wait a few seconds to a minute, and then pour your hot water, the coffee is good. I just use a regular, small filter and fold it into a cone shape--much less expensive.

I have a nice espresso maker and a french press at home, but the pour over is fast enough and easy to clean.

Looked at these for a gift,but after reading Amazon reviews,decided on a different type.Don't think DD & SIL have the patience needed.
I like them,but not a coffee drinker.Hope you found yours.

Not yet..I think it would work for me since I enjoy a good cup of coffee. Even started grinding the beans for awhile.

There is not really a difference between drip and pour over other than mostly "drip" refers to an automated system like an electric coffee maker and "pour over" usually refers to a manual system. In my experience, the time is about the same except you can just walk away from a machine an do something else. BUT the coffee is better with a manual system.

Good to hear this...

I ended up buying the Melitta pour over coffee cone just to test it out and see how much I liked it.

My first day I made the coffee way too weak. Today I added what I normally would have added to the electric pot, and it is much better. Probably can go a little stronger. What I miss is the smell of coffee the electric pot made...I don't have a clue if this is just the way it is, or I need to tweak what I am doing.

I don't think it is too much of an effort to use though...just different. And the cone takes up so much less space than my Mr. Coffee.

You will get a stronger brew if you give the ground coffee a stir while pouring the hot water over to saturate the ground coffee. I think it tastes better because the water is hotter than what comes out of a drip coffee maker. I like my coffee hot.

Do you use ground coffee or grind your own? I really like the Peets coffee but is a bit pricey unless on sale.

I buy locally roasted coffee, French Roast (about $10.00#), if you like a dark brew, that they sell in bulk at my local coop. I grind it in the store but I'm sure it would be better to grind it at home. I just don't want to be bothered. Grind it fine but not to a powder that would clog the filter. Buying in smaller quantities keeps it fresh tasting also.

It is not any more time than my Mr. Coffee,in my opinion.

I have a cheapie grinder but it can be messy.

I just bought one of those inexpensive Merlita (Melita?) pour through cones, and really like it. I grind my own. Any kind of drip pot always made the coffee taste stale, to me. We have a lot of calcium in our water, so that may have something to do with it; I don't know.
I'm making turbo-charged coffee, blended with butter and coconut oil, so I like the coffee to be a little stronger than normal.
