Turning old into new is how you could describe pour-over coffee makers. Filter coffee is probably familiar to everyone who has ever enjoyed the black and brown hot drink. It can be brewed by a filter coffee machine or by hand. Place the coffee filter on the cup or pot, add filter paper and freshly ground coffee, pour in hot water and the filter coffee is ready. Why pour-over coffee makers have charm and even made it into the Museum of Modern Arts (MoMA)?
Pour-over coffee makers simply combine filters and containers. This makes the gadget a practical companion for anyone who likes to enjoy hand-filtered coffee. There are two versions: either they are connected or they can be placed on top of each other. As usual, fill the filter with coffee powder and pour hot water over it.
Capacity is important when making a purchase decision. Do you want to brew coffee for yourself or do you need more volume? In addition, you can choose between different materials for the filters. There are those that also require a paper filter or options that are made of stainless steel or glass. The latter offer the advantage of being reusable and not requiring any paper filters. This saves money and waste.
This coffee maker is suitable for about four cups. What is special is the glass hand filter in diamond look. The glass carafe has a lid so the coffee stays warmer for longer. It is a model where the filter and jug are not related. This means that cleaning is done separately.
Models that combine a filter and a pot are also suitable as pour-over coffee makers. In this case, the fine filter is made of stainless steel and therefore does not require a paper filter. You can choose between cork or silicone strap, so you can easily touch the coffee maker. The container holds a total of half a liter.
The design of this coffee maker is simple and timeless. The “Chemex” series of kitchen appliances by German chemist Peter Schlumbohm combines the kitchen and the laboratory and has even made it into the famous “Museum of Modern Arts” in New York. When the inventor immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1935, he invented the famous Chemex coffee maker, which was inspired by the Erlenmeyer flask. The coffee maker can even be seen in “James Bond: From Russia with Love.”
This coffee maker separates the filter and pot using a practical stand. The set includes three pieces and the ceramic hand filter is dishwasher safe. The heat-resistant glass jug is based on a silicone base and holds 0.65 liters of coffee.
If you don’t want to brew a lot of coffee, this compact pour-over coffee maker is the right choice because it only holds 0.4 liters. Practical: Thanks to the stainless steel filter, the coffee brewer works paperless.
