coffee and tea dripper

I love this Hario Drip Pot. Hand poured coffee is the best but does require some care to do it right. I love the cloth filter since it eliminates the need to buy paper filters, however the cloth requires some extra care. It would be helpful if there were better instructions that came with the pot. I did some research on the web and found that regularly boiling the filter and storing it in the fridge in a plastic zip lock bag between uses will keep it fresh and ready to use. The filter should not be dried between uses.

"the sock pot", as i call it, is an awesome way to brew 2 cups of amazing coffee. this drip method makes coffee that beats, in my opinion, the Chemex and the french press. i usually use 22 grams of freshly ground coffee for each cup i am brewing, and i fill mine all the way to where the wooden handle begins to get 2 mugs of coffee. the sock should be washed out with hot water when you're done and stored in a bag in the fridge, or i read that you can freeze it. i guess the thing is to not let the flannel dry out. anyway, it works great! better design than the one from yama. my advice is make sure you're buying great beans. this type of brewing isn't really worth the fuss if you're just using average beans. but when you buy a superb bean, there is really no way to make a better cup of coffee, which is a pleasure i get to wake up to every morning! cheers!

I bought this to replace a chipped drip pot I'd been using for quite a while. This is very easy to use and makes a great tasting cup of coffee. It is also easy to clean and has held up well after several months of use. Highly recommend if you want to make great coffee in small quantities with a bit of style.
