LHS Pour Over Coffee Dripper Stainless Steel Coffee Filter Metal Cone Filter Paperless Reusable Coffee Filter Single Cup Coffee Maker 1-4 Cup With Non-slip Cup Stand and Cleaning Brush

I purchased the larger filter size. This filter works better for me in terms of the time it takes to make my coffee for me. The previous filter mesh was extremely fine and the drip rate would slow down rapidly so that it would take 30 - 40 minutes or more to make 30 oz of coffee, no doubt a large cup! (Now, I do make my coffee much differently than the majority, so a lot of this is my own undoing. I put the finely ground coffee into a 4 cup measuring cup and add the boiling water and stir frequently for approx 4 minutes. Then I pour through a flour sifter of some sort, all the contents of the measuring cup with the coffee, into the new filter (that sits over the coffee mug) and this all goes into the coffee mug. The sifter collects a large amount of the ground coffee so the fine filter won't get filled up. Kind of like a pre-filter for the large grinds.) The first filter I tried was so slow, I ordered a second similar filter and as soon as the first filter would slow down I would pour the coffee from the first filter, into the second filter and use it until it slowed down and then wash the first one, and then repeat the process. Probably would do that 5-6 times before the process was done. Still the issue was how fine the filter mesh was. So I noted on the LHS filter that had 0.2mm sized openings (200 microns and the old filters were 20 microns from what I could figure out.) and single layer mesh so I gave it a try. Much quicker, but does leave more residue but I don't really care because it was getting to be a tedious process to make coffee and now it isn't. Well made, easier to clean because there it is only single layer. Durable but you still can't throw it around because you don't have the second outer shell to protect the finer filter layer. It sits on a stand that is detachable but I took it off and placed the whole filter inside an old Melita plastic coffee filter holder and then sat this combo on top of the cup. When I used the stand that it came with, I had some spillage on the sides when I attempted to fill the filter to the very top. Now the Melita filter holder prevents this and allows me to pour more in. But it is plenty doable just using the stand that it comes with, I was trying to improve it slightly for myself. All in all, I would recommend this filter just keeping in mind you will have more fine grounds passing through then you would with the 20 micron sized filter.

I've used coffee machine and french press for a long time, but thought i'd try out a pour over filter. I purchased a different "hario style" filter in the past, but I thought I'd try a stainless steel one. I've had this for about 3 months and I use this at least 1-3 times a week with my gooseneck kettle. Here are my two cents on the item: 1. stainless steel - best part of it. sturdy construction that produces consistent results. you can use it without a paper filter and it'll work great. 2. construction - a two-piece filter & stand. easy to handle and use, i wish the stand is more stable and heavier, but it does not affect usage. one should be careful that the joint connectors are not bent during use. 3. filter - there are two observations about the filter itself. a. it is good at catching the fine grinds, but does not catch them all - some residue do sip through but not enough to ruin the coffee taste. this may not be an issue with the filter, but more related to how fine the grounds; finer will sip through a bit but coarser grounds will be fine. When I use a prepackaged grounds purchased from a store, it will often result in some residue. b. this filter catches the water very well. the water does not sip through the side of the filter, results in diluting the coffee flavor. all of the water poured into the filter will flow down the tip and contribute to the brewing. one more note about the filter itself - if you use without the paper filter, the end result coffee will look "oily", this is a natural process, not a problem of the design. The oiliness is due to the oil in the coffee bean being extracted by the hot water during roasting process. If you use a paper filter, the paper will filter usually absorbs all the oil. 4. easy to clean - a couple of dumps will get rid almost all of the grounds. The included brush works amazingly well when you use warm water with a bit of dish soap. overall I do like and enjoy this filter, and it produces good (but not great) tastes of coffee. Some may have complained that the draining took too long - i disagree respectfully. A pour over is meant to slow drain so it has time to brew the coffee grounds. I have another ceramic filter (hario style) that took even longer to drain. using a pour over is almost like a fine art, where a combination of your filter, hot water, coffee grounds, gooseneck kettle, and hand movement, all contribute to a better tasting and enjoyable coffee.

Some thoughts after only 3 uses. The filter design and build seem to be high quality. I bought this one based on the single layer construction as it relates to not clogging. Making pour over coffee is pretty simple but it is not the way to go if you’re in a hurry. It takes more time than a coffee maker so on the days when you’re in a rush, this may not work. The coffee it produces is very good, I’d say it’s between French press and drip, strength depends on the grind and quantity used; for me two large scoops worked just right. It’s very easy to clean, just dump the grinds in the trash and wash / rinse. So why 4 stars not 5? For me it’s just the time it takes to brew. I probably will revert to my Bonavita 5 cup during the week and use the cone when I have more time. If you’re looking for a pour over product, this is a great choice.

I'm currently living in my camper so space is limited and I didn't want to take up what little counter space I have with a coffee pot. I have an electric kettle and I had been using a funnel and a coffee filter to make coffee and it was super messy and took a long time for the water to go through the filter. I had no idea something like this even existed so I was pleasantly surprised to find this coffee making contraption. It doesn't take long for my electric kettle to boil water, so the whole process of making coffee takes me less than 10 minutes. Once the water is boiling it's literally less than a minute and I have almost a whole pot of coffee. The water runs through this strainer very quickly. I have been sitting it on top of a large insulated water jug. I then put the lid on and it stays hot for hours if you want another cup. It works on cups and mugs of all sizes if you want to make a little or a lot. The mouth on my insulated jug is really big (big enough I can stick my whole hand in it) and this fits on there perfectly. There are no messy drips to clean up, and emptying the grounds out of it is super easy. It's also very quick and easy to clean. I appreciate that the base is easily removed for thorough cleaning and drying, and easily attaches back with no trouble. It also takes up very little space in my cabinet. As long as you aren't doing anything crazy with it I feel like it will last a long time. It was worth every penny and I'm so happy with it! I'm so glad I don't have a whole coffee pot to deal with and I don't have to worry about buying filters!

The LHS Pour Over Coffee Dripper Stainless Steel (1-4 cup) is awesome! I was new at pour-overs and found this to be the perfect mesh and NOT dual layer... so it drips easily with Starbucks pre-ground French Roast without clogging... not too fast, not too slow, just right! Cleans easily. I did a lot of research and found 0.2mm SINGLE LAYER mesh is the best, and I lucked out by getting this one for my first pour-over. I paired it with the Cosori Gooseneck Electric Kettle with 5 Variable Presets, Pour Over & Coffee maker, 100% Stainless Steel Inner Lid & Bottom, 1200 Watt Quick Heating, 0.8L, Silver which is also perfect.

I love these, especially the 1-4 cups. I purchased 3 more after having 1 for several years. The 3 were an addition; first one is going strong.

I have been through three of these coffee drippers. All three have driven me a little nuts - they have taken so long to drip through, they get clogged, and by the time you finally get your cup, it's lukewarm. I was initially drawn to this one because it has my initials on it (LHS) but then I saw that it was one layer of mesh instead of the usual two. What a difference! Coffee almost instantly, no clogs, hot coffee, and much easier to clean than the others. Yes there are a few grounds in the bottom of my cup but I solved that problem by not drinking it to the last drop - who cares what Maxwell said? Don't forget to put in about 3 tbl of hot water first to bloom the coffee. Then add the rest, making small circles. It produces delicious, hot, strong coffee (I add 3 level tbl of coffee). From a devoted coffee connosieur - get it!

My wife bought me a pour over set almost a year ago, since coffee is something I enjoy. And my tastes have evolved over the years. I used to buy pre-ground coffee and use an automatic drip coffee maker. I eventually tried whole beans and grinding them, which put an end to pre-ground coffee. (Hard to go back once you taste the difference) Then I went from a loud automatic grinder to a quiet hand held, manual grinder. Noticing the more balanced flavor a consistent grind gave me. And then the pour over. Well, that took some getting used to and a lot of experimenting, finding the right grind, trying for that 'bloom' and such. I was almost getting it down when another part started to bother me. The time it took for the water to finish going through the filter. I was winding up with coffee that was just...pretty warm. So...I start researching a thermal carafe and it was perfect. Gave me hot coffee again - for a little while. Then it got where I was pouring from the thermal carafe back into the glass and putting it in the microwave for a minute or two to make it hot enough again. But I could swear that was at the cost of flavor, as it didn't quite taste as good after. It got to where it felt ridiculous to go through all this effort and I was about THIS close to just giving up on the whole hassle of it all. So I order a tiny Mr. Coffee maker, figuring I'll just keep grinding my beans and have that do the work and at least have hot coffee. But, dang it again...it just wasn't the same. At all. It was hot, sure, but totally lacking in flavor. At my wits end, I start researching reusable filters. Maybe, just MAYBE, that will solve all my problems? I was so excited to get this in the mail. I opened it up and went to wash it out so I can test out my last hope of a home made, flavorful, hot cup of coffee. As I'm rinsing out the soap, I figure I'll put it side by side with my other filter (which I had cleaned after every use, always) and was surprised to see that I couldn't even get this new filter to hold water long enough to see how slow it drains. While my other filter filled right up and slowly drained about half way. Well, that certainly seemed promising! And I'm happy to inform anyone taking the time to read this long tale that it solved ALL my pour over coffee issues! This filter works brilliantly. I tend to grind my coffee on the finer side and was a little worried about grounds on the bottom of my cup (nothing worse than that last sip and GAG!), but have thus far had no problems. The only problem I have now is having to wait a little bit because it pours over so quick into a thermal carafe and then I pour into a Zojirushi thermal mug and it stays piping hot. Almost TOO hot. This filter has me back on track with really tasty coffee again. I would not hesitate to recommend and I already have to anyone I know who enjoys coffee enough to make it this way. And I hope it works for anyone who reads this as good as it works for me! Follow-up note [December 2022]: Several months ago, the supporting rim around the top of the filter came off. Just seems the welding points weren't very good and it just popped off. I figured it must have been a fluke, but who knows? The filter has been working fine, however, without the supporting rim the cone isn't as sturdy and cleaning is starting to cause the bottom plug portion of the filter to also come loose. I'm afraid it's only a short matter of time before I'm faced with buying a new filter. (Apparently only a matter of hours. See photo. I'm hoping this was a fluke and looks like I will have to order a replacement)

Already had a stainless steel, double wall filter which i use at work. It cost less than half the price of this one and leaves very little sludge in the cup. This LHS filter is single wall and doesnt filter quite as well. I do like how the base separates from the body which makes it less likely to be damaged. The base is also quite large allowing it to sit safely on most cups. I like how there is no waste of paper and the grounds can go into compost. It's easy to clean, looks pretty, makes a quick cup of coffee but I do think it's expensive for what it is.

Very easy to clean; you can just rinse it under warm water or use soap. This filter can block off water if poured in gently. Just make sure to set your burr grinder to a bit more coarse setting, and then it will have no issues if you don't like coffee residue in your cup.

Great for a quick single cup of coffee would recommend both seller and product love it

This stainless steel coffee filter works wonderful. Makes great coffee The filter is very easy to clean. I won't need to purchase a new one for a long time. Thanks for a great product.

Coffee never tasted so good!!! Sure, there are a few coffee sediments at the bottom of the mug (after sweating the fine grounds for a few seconds) but, that's OK with me, because they stay at the bottom of the mug. The coffee tastes superb to me and I have approximately 1/2 dozen brands I rotate around. Let me tell you also that this little thing gets loving, controlled and gentle pourings of perfect hot water from the W&E Stainless Steel Gooseneck Kettle - which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Bye the way, seems I need to use less coffee granules and still come up with a "rich" coffee taste. I bought 2 of these drippers right away because I knew it was what I was looking for. I drink my coffee black - talk about a true coffee lover . . .
