coffee and tea dripper

Item works as described and I feel it is perfect for boating or camping as it is light weight and easily stowed.

This is a compactable version of a Melitta coffee filter cone. It flattens out to a thin, but fairly wide circle. Easy to pack in a suitcase or for car camping. A little too heavy and too big for backpacking though.

Takes a number 2 or 4 coffee filter and works just like the ones you have at home. When you first open it up, you'll notice a strong chemical smell. It goes away though as soon as you wash it with dishwashing soap (I use Dawn). The cone leaves no after-taste in your coffee. After a lot of use, there will be some dark staining on the cone and may smell a little of coffee. I've never put it in the dishwasher, but it's made of silicone so I don;t think the dishwasher would hurt it at all if you put it in the top rack.

Comes with its own drip saucer so you're not dripping everywhere after you've made your coffee.

Works just fine with bottled water dispensers that have a hot water option too, so you could take it to work too... Read more

I've purchased this for my motor home and it is an excellent way to brew coffee in any camping situation!
