Kalita Style Coffee dripper, 102, 4 cups, Brown

This is the perfect coffee dripper. I like the neutral color and that it is ceramic. It is easy to use and make a single cup of coffee so there is no waste. It safes space and was priced well. I would highly recommend this coffee dripper. I also bought this as a gift for a friend who also loves it.

I look forward to using this every morning. I also have a Keurig and french press. Factoring in convenience, flavor, and also fun - this is my preferred method for a quick and delicious hot cup of heaven. The pleasure partnered with the caffeine rush leaves me delighted all morning. Coffee drinking as a great American ritual is all the more enchanting with this thing. I use Melitta #2 filters. It has 3 holes. I have an electric kettle that can heat 12 oz of water in the same amount of time it takes for my Keurig to warm up. I'll make an 8oz or 12oz cup within minutes. I've gotten pretty good at eyeballing how much water to pour over whilst leaving room for cream. If you think you might have issues, try using clear mugs for a while. During a recent family reunion at my home, how we loved to gather in the mornings and brew our coffee this way. So easy to replace with a new filter and load up fresh grinds. Again - quicker, more delicious, and satisfying experience over Keurig, even for a large group. At this price point, they're all getting one for Christmas as a nice sentimental remembrance... Pros: - It's beautiful. Shiny glaze. Appealing color contrast within. - Great quality. Heavy ceramic, solid sturdy construction. - Quick. Honestly doesn't take up much more time than a Keurig (constantly having to refill the water and descale the machine. Ugh). - Less waste. Use compostable filters and enjoy your cup guilt free. - Easy to clean. Just rinse it. Takes seconds. - Feast for the senses. The sound of the coffee organically dripping. Seeing the hot steam. The immediate rich and sumptuous fragrance. - Great gift, especially for that person that already seems to have everything! - Uniqueness. You don't see groovy coffee pour-overs like this at Target. - Price point. Incredibly reasonable. In fact, it's an amazing deal for the time it saves you and the joy it delivers. Cons: - None. Boom. Enjoy!

Switched to the ceramic dripper as I try and move away from plastic (especially since we pour hot water through these things). No complaints in terms of quality and durability. I just throw into the top rack of the dishwasher when needed and I haven’t noticed any issues in terms of damage or change in extraction.

Great 2-cup pourover dripper. Easy to use and simple cleanup. 5 stars, though I wish they made a 4 cup version and that the rim sitting on the cup was a little wider for wide coffee cups.

Love it!

The dripper is porcelain. It feels good and retains heat, and you won't be ingesting plastics. It has the foolproof, 3-hole drip design. At about 10 liquid ounces (about 300ml) it's slightly smaller than some competitors, so if you're using more than a cup of water (about 250ml) you'll still want to stay awake while pouring. The advantage is that a #2 filter fits it perfectly instead of awkwardly.

The brown glaze is attractively done (unless you hate brown) and the whole piece looks like quality ceramic. The three holes are not too big or small and let water pour through without dribbling along the bottom side (at least on mine). My pour-overs now taste a little better than they ever have (my first one was a just ok budget off-brand, and I improved the quality with my second dripper, and now this is my third, and I think best/final purchase) and cleanup is a breeze - I just rinse in the sink immediately after each use (top/bottom/sides) and put in the dish rack until next time. I will hand wash with regular dish detergent and a sponge in warm water whenever I notice coffee residue building up. My only issues: the ring/raised edge profile around the bottom holes stick out a little too much and sometimes dips into the coffee at the end of the pour. I can make less coffee or use a larger/deeper mug, but I prefer my chosen serving size to fill up near the rim of the mug (about 1/4" from the lip) for the pleasing visual aesthetic of a full cup of coffee. I eat and drink with my eyes, as well as my mouth and hands, so it matters to me. The second issue is that I wish the dripper would perfectly accommodate the size and shape of a #2 Melitta filter. Currently, the filter protrudes by about 1/4' (which I know some prefer to be able to lift the filter out of the dripper by this default tab, but I'd like the top of the filter to reach the top of the dripper without going above the rim); and the interior shape of the dripper causes the filter to bunch up in two or three places, causing gaps that require more careful maneuvering while pouring. The interior should be a bit more elliptical to accommodate the similar shape of the filter when inserted. My third and final issue: the diameter of the base is 4", and while that is enough to sit on any of my mugs without falling or sliding, it's not a perfect seating for my largest mug. I would like to see a base with a diameter of 4.25 - 4.5." Combined, the above three issues subtract a star, but this is really a great dripper overall, and I would buy one again if needed. Final thought: imagine if they made the suggested/desired alterations I mentioned, and then did the same for a dripper size for #4 Melitta filters. Add a few more attractive pastel color options and I think that would make this the international gold standard for pour-over drippers. Update: I broke my dripper ): It was totally my fault though! I, dummy that I am, was walking down a steep slippery hill with my entire pour-over equipment set (dripper, filters, digital scale, gooseneck kettle, hand grinder, thermometer - even my favorite mug, all in a bag for a week-long house sitting gig I had just returned from) and of course I slipped and fell down the hill (first time ever, in over ten years of going down that hill, so I guess I had become smug about my would-be billy goat credentials). True to my word above, about buying one again if needed, I did indeed buy another one right away. This time I got the white one, a very clean and smooth nice white color. But I think I prefer the brown one overall for looks, and the bottom design on the white one is a little different, and the coffee dribbles along the bottom a little sometimes, but still makes a great pour-over.

Simple, perfect for my one mug of coffee. I do not use plastic, so this was a good substitute.

solid ceramic, feels really good

Good genuine item. I have now thrown away my plastic Mellitta dripper of this shape. Came without breaking.

【良い点】 ・抜群の安定感と使いやすさ 見た目が美しいだけでなく、本体にちょうど良い重量感があります。この適度な重さのおかげで、サーバーの上にセットした際にグラグラせず、お湯を注ぐときも非常に安定して抽出できる点が素晴らしいです。 ・フィルターのフィット感 台形型の形状がしっかり計算されており、「102」サイズのフィルターを使用するとちょうど良くぴったり収まります。 【総評】 正直なところ、3つ穴による抽出速度や細かい味の違いまでは私には分かりませんが、「これさえ買っておけば間違いない」と言える安心感と作りの良さがあります。 扱いやすく、毎日のコーヒータイムをストレスなく楽しめるので、スタンダードなドリッパーを探している方には間違いなくおすすめできる製品です。

Still great after long use (12 months+): Excellent quality and very happy about my purchase even after long use
