SlickDrip Pour Over Coffee Dripper -Collapsible, Reusable Silicone Coffee Filter Cone- Manual Coffee Brew Maker-Makes One to Two Cups of Strong Brew-Great for Hiking, Camping, Home, Office

As a coffee drinker, I like to try out different brewing methods but my usual method has been drip with my single cup Melita cone. When traveling, I always take a cone, filters and coffee so I can always be assured of a good cup early in the morning. When I saw this collapsible cone, I had to try it out. It's brilliant for travelers.The same day my cone arrived, I got an email from Kuissential giving me directions for its use. The directions are a little different from what I do with the Melita so I appreciated the tips. Finding the right brew with any method can take a few tries. I initially thought that the 2 holes in the bottom were way too big. They are twice the diameter of the single hole in my Melita. I was tempted to find a way to block one hole before even trying it out but decided to try it before messing with it.I put my filter in and poured water in it to wet the paper and press it to the inside of the cone. This was the main thing in Kuissential's directions that I've never done. Then I put in my coffee (my grind is a little finer than traditional drip grind) and poured the boiled and slightly cooled water over the grounds for a wash. (I usually discard this first bit of coffee to reduce the caffeine - it works) Then I slowly poured the water and was amazed that it didn't drip through too fast. The result was a perfect cup of coffee. I'll be using this cone both for travel and at home.The cone's base is big enough to use with my large mug (3.75" rim) and is sturdy. I can't imagine it tipping if it's sitting on a level surface. It's easy to pick up with 2 hands on the wider edges of the top of the cone to see how much coffee has dripped in. I can't find one thing I don't like about this cone. It washes easily and collapses nice and flat for easy packing. Thank you, Kuissential!

This baby is a simple solution for those of us who need a decent drip coffee while traveling or camping! It is compact, effective, and easy to clean. A great gift!

Love this coffee dripper. Very sturdy and well-designed, easy to clean and store. Probably best suited to one cup or mug at a time use, though, or maybe coffee for two.Anyway, with coffee prices going up, I began to regret every quarter to half pot I'd pour down the drain in the afternoon. Some days, I'd want three mug-fulls, other days something would come up and I'd only drink one.I like French press coffee, but it's often a bother and takes a while to make. I also have a Capresso drip coffee maker -- but that was the half pot I kept throwing away. So when we decided to buy an always-on automatic water boiler, the  Zojirushi CV-DSC40 VE Hybrid Water Boiler and Warmer, Stainless Steel , intending to use it for coffee, tea, instant soups, and on-demand hot water, I decided to switch to a cup-at-a-time dripper.Didn't want plastic because they do add an unwanted flavor to coffee and the plastic breaks down over time. Didn't want porcelain or glass because they suck heat from the water and are breakable, plus they tend to cost a lot more. So I decided to give the SlickDrip a try.I really like the fact it's collapsible, and therefore perfect to take along for travel or camping. Once dry, you can also just collapse it and throw it in any kitchen drawer (careful though, as it doesn't look like any kind of coffee dripper cone when in the collapsed position and might be easy to overlook).The silicone rubber means it won't emit anything into the coffee, and yes, it is dishwasher safe so you can sterilize it occasionally that way. At first I was a little leery about whether it'd be strong enough to hold the coffee, filter, and the dripped water, but it seems fine. The base is sturdy and fits perfectly even over my rather large 17oz mug.For what it's worth, although they say you can use Number 4 cone filters with this dripper, I can't see a need for anything larger than a 2. You're really not going to make more than about 20oz maximum at a time with a dripper this size. Going to the larger filter seems to me just to be a waste of paper.My technique? Filter is empty, in dripper, over my mug. I dispense some water from the boiler (which is set to a resting temperature of 208F -- we're high altitude, so the actual temperature is lower, but still about perfect for coffee) to wet the filter, and warm both the dripper and the mug under it. Swirl the water, throw it away. Put about 2 1/2 scoops of coffee into the now wet filter (appropriate for the approx 16 oz of coffee I make with each serving). Put the boiler into its slow dispense mode and as the other review indicated, just add water a bit at a time to keep the grounds soaked but not soupy. In about 2-3 minutes, I have a full mug of piping hot (but not scalding) delicious coffee.Trying to be ecologically minded, we compost the used grounds and paper filters, which we then use on our gardens.Would I buy this product again? Yes. Would I recommend it to a friend? Also yes, but especially for people who travel but want to brew their own coffee.

Makes really delicious coffee. Easy to take anywhere if you are a coffee snob and only want to use your own grounds.

Muy práctico, para uso en casa o de vacaciones. Es muy fácil prepararte de maner rápida una buena taza de café.

I've been vaguely looking for a one cup drip filter holder for a while and when I found this one after finally making a concerted effort to search for one online, I thought it looked exactly what I needed. Folded it slots neatly in a drawer, which is great in our small kitchen. It will also be handy to take away with us when staying at places that don't cater to those of us who like real coffee, taking very little space in our luggage. Opened out it holds a 1x2 filter paper and sits securely on every cup or mug I've tried it on, from fairly small to really quite large.I'm no expert but the drip speed seems reasonable - slow enough to get a good strength cup of coffee but not so slow as to be cold before it's all dripped through!All in all, a great little product - does what you need it to do and packs away very neatly.

It can exactly as pictured in a cute box. I take my pour over when I travel so this being collapsing is brilliant! Works perfectly, cleans very easy, my new favourite purchase.

This is highly likely to do exactly what it says on the tin, and collapse while you are using it. Never leave anyone in charge of it who doesn't completely understand this or they will probably knock it over.Assuming you can keep it under control, this is an excellent coffee cone. It's easy to clean and to use, and folds up very conveniently - ideal for the office or camping trips. I keep mine at home, where it takes up next to no space when not in use.It's good for making coffee one cup at a time. If you want to make jugs of the stuff (or two cups at once), you need a different solution.
