Our verdict

A tiny foldable stainless steel pour over dripper for backpacking, bikepacking and travel. It is built for one cup, and its listing mislabels it as a French press in one row.

Overview

A campsite, a bike frame bag or a hotel desk is where this foldable stainless steel dripper belongs, with a reusable filter that rests over a mug. The listing calls it lightweight, portable and eco friendly.

Its small weight and fold flat design suit anyone counting grams. The limitation is the single cup capacity and a spec sheet that calls it a French press even though the title and copy describe a pour over dripper.

Who it's for

Hikers, bikepackers and frequent travelers who want real coffee in the field will carry it easily. Home brewers who want a full carafe, or anyone expecting a plunger style press, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very light stainless steel
  • Foldable for packing
  • Reusable filter included
  • Dishwasher safe per the specs
Cons
  • Single cup only
  • Type row says French press
  • Metal filter needs rinsing

Performance notes

The dripper rests on a mug and holds ground coffee, and hot water poured over it drips straight into the cup. The reusable filter removes the need for paper. The listing mixes up its brewer type, so rely on the title.
