Ovalware Paperless Stainless Steel Pour Over Coffee Filter – Reusable and Permanent Coffee Cone Dripper Four, Chemex and Other Carafes (Stainless Steel)

Such a great money and environment saving product. I find this gives the true taste to my espresso beans rather than the filters which I was using. Easy to clean can go in the dishwasher fine. All in all a great accessory to our chemex.

Absolutely outstanding, far superior to papers and the cheaper stainless cones I've purchased, even works in my smaller V2 v60! Constant drip rate, retains heat, washes In seconds

I must say, the taste is so much different from a paper filter. The cup you'll get from this metal filter isn't that smooth, you can actually see some very smooth powder at the bottom. You'll somehow lose the cleanest/smoothest cup that paper filter gives you. Instead, using this filter gives you a more complex flavour bought from the very fine powder and the trace of oil. The aroma is very strong. The cup you'll get is somewhere in between traditional pour-over with paper filter and a french press. For the time being, I'm still trying out different granule sizes and pouring timing to find the best suit for this filter, but overall I'm quite happy with it. If you're still thinking, get one and try it out yourself.

I have been using the filter for about a week now. And I've to say I find it easier to use than the paper filters, no folding required. It also allows me to make the drink a lot faster and still tastes as I expect. I have noticed a bit of coffee dust gets in to my cup now, but that is just sits on the bottom of the cup. It took me a few wet worktops to work out how long it took and how much liquid passes through, but that is on me. Using a gooseneck pot has helped provide a nice steady flow. My only concern is the amount of coffee ground that I am now washing down the sink, using a small silicon spoon gets quite a way in, but I'm not using any paper filters now since getting this device.

This is a a very good design, a perfect size for v60 paper replacement. Very easy to clean, too. The flow is perhaps a little quick, but nothing adjusting the grind won't rectify. Would definitely buy again.

Just started using, but seems much better than our old mesh (flexible) filter. Easier to clean and overall better quality/sturdiness!

Durable, easy to clean and leaves no residue. No more filter papers!

I was looking for a non-disposable coffee filter mainly for flavour but also for sustainability reasons. I tried other brands before Ovalware and chose the filter because it was able to both allow for good flavour but also was fine enough to keep the grounds out of the cup—something that other filters could not do. The only thing I would improve is the silicone edge sometimes traps coffee grinds but a simple rinse usually gets rid of the grinds.

Sirve excelentemente. Había leído unos comentarios de que no tenías la misma experiencia de calidad y sabor que con los filtros de papel, pero no es real. Yo creo que lo que afecta el sabor del café es la mala calidad del café usado. El filtro queda excelente para la Chemex de 6 tazas.

Es el mejor que e comprado!

Recommended replacement filter for pour overs. Very good quality and easy to clean. Used in a 6 cup Chemex. Delivery well ahead of schedule. Excellent packaging.

I use this in my regular coffee maker to reduce the amount of plastic my coffee is running through. Micro-plastics is a real thing. Why would we want hot liquid running through toxic plastic into my coffee ? With this stainless steel coffee filter not only have I made my coffee taste better but now my coffee has less micro plastics!

The product I purchased was the Ovalware Stainless Steel Pour Over Coffee Filter back in December of 2019. This is a simple pour over coffee filter designed to fit in pour over vessels. It is made of two layers of stainless steel mesh, providing filtration of water through coffee. The perimeter of the filter has a silicone ring that causes it to fit perfectly in my Chemex carafe. This was one of the the solutions for my daily coffee making routine, which was a little different than what I have done previously. My choice to purchase this filter was to determine if permanent filters are as good as paper filters in regards to flavor, time to use and cleanup. Another objective was to see if there is a savings between permanent and what I usually use which is Chemex Classic Coffee Filters, Squares, 100ct. (all prices are at the time I purchased) Ovalware = $19.99, Chemex filters = $12.99 $12.99/100 = $0.13/ use $19.99/ $0.13 = 153 filters 153 filters means 2 packs of filters @$12.99ea = $25.98 I received the item in the box as pictured on the Amazon store page. Inside the box was also a small insert directing the buyer to their website where the product could be registered and more products could be purchased. My first use was the same as all of my other coffee making sessions, except I was using this permanent filter. Proper grind and coffee to water ratio produced an expected filtering (drop) time and the coffee was good. There was no sediment. Cleanup involved dumping the grounds; now I can save them easily for the garden as opposed to picking them out of a filter. Then a rinse under the water followed by towel dry to remove excess water and any oils left behind. Today it has been over 200 days or 2 packs of filters and the Ovalware is still in great shape; this can be seen in the attached photos. The inside seam, which is what I see failed in many reviews, is intact like the day I got it. The outer seam has also maintained. The inner mesh shows no signs of staining and there are no trapped grounds. Depending on the bean, I do use a single regular coffee filter with this; however, this does not affect the drop time. I have over filled the filter (~2.4 ounces), but did not experience any grounds going past the silicon ring into the carafe. I have also fine ground with no issues except increased filter time. I did go to the company’s website to register my product and have not received enough emails from them to unsubscribe. The emails are thoughtful and monthly. I took a look at their other products and, if I ever need any other coffee gear in the future, that is one of the places I would look, as they have everything. They also have some helpful information such as coffee to water ratio and a blog which is a great resource. My final thoughts are that this product has met and exceeded my expectations and needs. This is a high quality product at a very reasonable price. It makes the same tasting coffee that I had made with the paper filters and the cleanup is easy. Keeping filters in stock takes time and prices change; this filter is always there and has lasted over 200 brewing sessions. The silicone ring seats it perfectly in my carafe and allows me to quickly and easily take the filter out right away without burning my fingers. In regards to the math, this absolutely has saved me money and time.
