I recently bought another coffee filter for my oversea trip, i woke up early morning in my hotel room, boil the water and i have a nice coffee to enjoy
But for the most part, all the water comes out right away only washing a bit of the beans. Unless I'm doing something wrong, it does not really 'brew'. The water goes through immediately except maybe the last portion which drips out or if cup is full, pushes water to mix with beans above filter to allow 'soaking'. Taste of coffee was okay. I'm sticking to my french press.
I was looking for an alternative to a French press because I really dislike the grit it produces in the bottom of your mug. Tried the Bodum Solo and I'm very pleased. The only down-side is the coffee isn't as strong as that made in a French press.but the good news is: no grit, very easy to use and clean, produces a good-tasting one cup (smallish mug) of coffee. A few tips: use coarsely ground coffee (like you would with a FP); after pouring in the water, give the water filter and the coffee filter a firm press which really slows down the drip, otherwise the coffee will be much too weak.
just bought this ting from target and I love it. Very small, very easy, and very yummy.
This thing is not easy to use actually. It is very easy to get confuse and put it together wrong in which case you end up with coffee grounds in your cup. It does not keep heat well and brews very tasteless weak coffee. I gave up and bought little stainless french press.
