Our verdict

A large manual pour-over carafe in clear glass for several mugs at once, with no electronics to fail. Filters are paper and not included, and the listing offers almost no description.

Overview

A kitchen counter or a coffee bar with a kettle nearby is where this carafe belongs. Hot water goes over a filter of ground coffee, the brew collects in the clear glass body, and nothing plugs in.

Brewing by hand gives full say over grind, water temperature and pace, and a glass carafe washes easily. The limitation is that nothing is automatic, and the listing names neither a filter shape nor a lid.

Who it's for

A weekend brunch table or a small office with a kettle makes good use of the larger volume. Single-cup drinkers and anyone short on time will find the process more involved than they want.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large carafe for several mugs
  • Clear glass shows the brew
  • No electronics or cord
  • Manual control of the brew
Cons
  • Filter size not listed
  • Carafe only in the box
  • Glass needs careful handling

Performance notes

Water poured over ground coffee in a paper filter drains into the glass carafe, so the grind, the pour rate and the water temperature decide the cup. Nothing in the carafe regulates any of these. A larger volume means pouring in stages or using a bigger kettle.
