Paperless Pour Over Coffee Brewer

Nice glass, easy to clean, really clear quality glass, clean it with regular dish soap and it sparkles like a diamond. Great filter works perfect high quality. I course grind my coffee and it comes out quick and perfect. it's pretty sturdy but remember it is glass, I love the set up and it's a good value for todays market. Cleaning is a breeze if you do it right away. Use a plastic spoon and lightly scrape the grounds out of the funnel, rinse both sides inside and outside. Hold the funnel up to the light and if it's clean you can see through the fine mesh. If you do this every time you use it....you will get a quality cup of coffee every time. One more thing...it really looks nice sitting on the counter.

I'm really more impressed that I thought I'd be. The glass part is nice - functional, if not a bit awkward to pour the last few ounces out due to the shape. The filter fits it perfectly. And 800ml is 27oz, so it's all just the right size to make three 9oz cups of coffee - or two (+3oz) 12oz mugs. It's definitely a kitchen item and not a travel item since I wouldn't likely carry around the relatively-fragile glass. But the filter is really the star of the show here - and I might actually pack it for travel along with THIS >> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHPRCDW. I'm no coffee specialist but the quality of this filter seems amazing, and it makes a perfect cup of pour over coffee, keeping the water drippinng through at just the right speed. Not too fast (be patient!) and not too slow (maybe 3-4 minutes to run 800ml through the coffee?). In the end, I'm left with a smooth, tasty cup of my favorite coffee and I can use pretty much any grind from fine to coarse. Buh-bye paper filters. See ya Mr. Coffee and expensive Keurig pods. Hello good, strong, hot coffee!

I am a college student, but I usually only drink one cup of coffee a day. So, while looking for a new coffee maker, I wasn't looking for anything too big, especially as I share my small dorm kitchen with my two roommates. I was also interested in experimenting with manual coffee makers; one of my roommates last year had had a Keurig she let me use, but I wasn't too impressed with the results, so I knew I did not want to invest in a pod brewer for myself. The CoffeeGator pour-over hit the nail on the head. It delivers on all fronts: compact size, sleek design, fairly priced, easy to use, relatively speedy (compared to the average French press), fun to experiment with, and most importantly, a delicious brew. I have never enjoyed drinking coffee black in the past, but now I do at least a few times a week and really enjoy it. I usually use a #2 cone-shaped coffee filter just to make cleanup faster, although going filter-less definitely works, too, and cleanup doesn't take that much effort. I was going to leave a review when I first bought it back in July, but I kept forgetting to. Yesterday, however, I accidentally dropped the carafe and the top half shattered. I had noticed other Amazon reviews mentioning that CoffeeGator had replaced their brewers for various reasons, so I thought I may as well try to contact them before buying a replacement. I emailed them last night explaining the situation (with a screenshot of my Amazon order) and a little over 12 hours later, they have already graciously responded and shipped out a replacement! I was willing to buy one of their replacement carafes (which isn't as expensive as buying the whole kit again) but was relieved and impressed by their customer service, especially being on a college student's limited budget. Kudos, CoffeeGator!

I'm never going back to a kuerig or French press. Never ever ever. This perfect little thing makes delicious coffee! I had previously gotten a much larger pour over system (uses a paper filter, but I can't really tell a difference in flavor) and a large caraf for when we have company and need a much larger volume of coffee. But that was excissive for our daily routine so I needed something like this. It's perfect for every day, a cup each for myself and my husband, and more delicious than anything else! After much research, I decided on this system for two reasons: 1) awesome reviews and 2) the lack of paper filter. I got my Gator last night and my first try was this morning. I used a medium-coarse grind but the coffee passed through crazy fast and was pretty weak, so I put the strainer over my coffee mug and poured the weak coffee over the grounds again for another pass. It is PERFECTION. Side note: my coffee grinder is a Caspresso Burr grinder, and it has 16 settings (extra fine, fine, medium, and coarse, and each of these settings has 4 more levels, for an exact grind). I had mine on the finest level on medium. Tomorrow I'll try level 3 or 4 on the fine setting for a fine-corse and I think that will fix the issue. UPDATE: While I still adore this little guy, I think I should let you all know that it is NOT dishwasher safe. I usually handwashed it, but my hubs puts it on the top shelf of the dishwasher....and it broke. Cracked and chipped at the top. We have only had ot maybe 6 or 7 months. We love it so much we got a whole new one (they're not that expensive!not) but thought I should take off a star and update the review. Hand wash only!!

works great cleans up easy heavy duty glass nothing better than grinding up fresh coffee beans, and making a fresh cup of coffee only drawback as it takes about four or five minutes of pouring water and waiting and pouring more water and waiting for it to siphon through the filter, but it makes an absolutely exceptional cup of gogo juice

I was poised to not like this coffee maker because of some of the negative reviews and the price. However, after three electric coffee makers in 5 years, I am ready to go back to basics. I have used this pour over coffee maker 4 times now. Every time it makes perfect coffee and I am somewhat of a coffee snob I guess. I do have a French Press coffee maker but I struggle with how much water and coffee to use for it. With this little pour over I can see how much water I am using. I measured one "cup" of water using my favorite coffee cup. That's how much water I use in the pour over with 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds. When the water boils, I can pout it into my cup then over the grounds. I can also pour the boiling water directly over the grounds and wait for it to get to the correct measurement that is marked on the glass of the pour over. It is very convenient. After that small amount of figuring and measuring, I now make coffee quite rapidly. If you're not getting good coffee with this pour over coffee maker, let me gently remind you that it begins with a great coffee, the pour over apparatus has somewhat, but not a lot, to do with how good your coffee is. I like this coffee maker because it makes coffee quite fast, it is easy to clean, It takes up little space on my coffee bar and, It is very quiet compared to an electric coffee maker. That is important to me first thing in the a.m. I do recommend it.

I'm a simple woman. I don't ask for much. I lead a minimalistic lifestyle and try to purchase as little plastic as possible. That being said, this coffeemaker fits my lifestyle well. I drink hot. My husband drinks cold. I've had it for a year. It's worth the purchase.

I recently gifted the **Coffee Gator Pour Over Coffee Maker** to a friend and it was an instant hit. This coffee maker is not just good, it's **great**! The coffee maker is designed for **ease of use** and precision, allowing for a perfect pour-over every time. It's a manual brewer, which means you have full control over the brewing process, from the water temperature to the pouring technique. What my friend loved about this coffee maker is its **quality construction**. It's durable and well-made, promising many years of reliable service. The carafe is made of heat-resistant glass, and the reusable stainless steel filter is a nice touch, both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. While it's not a Chemex or a V60, it shares similarities with both, offering the same level of control and resulting in a delicious, clean cup of coffee. It's a fantastic tool for any coffee enthusiast looking to explore the world of pour-over coffee. In conclusion, the Coffee Gator Pour Over Coffee Maker is a **fantastic purchase**. Whether you're a seasoned coffee connoisseur or a beginner looking to up your coffee game, this coffee maker is a worthy addition to your kitchen.

Tenía muchas ganas de probar una cafetera de esta marca porque me habían hablado muy bien de sus acabados, y la verdad es que la Coffee Gator es un acierto total. El formato es precioso y el filtro permanente de acero es de muy buena calidad, te olvidas de estar comprando filtros de papel cada dos por tres. Me decidí por este método de goteo manual (Pour Over) porque buscaba una alternativa para evitar otras cafeteras menos saludables que usan plásticos o materiales que no me convencen. El proceso de preparación es muy sencillo y te permite controlar todo el flujo del agua. Al final, el café sale con un sabor mucho más limpio y natural. Si te gusta disfrutar de un buen café y te preocupa la salud de los materiales, esta cafetera es una opción de 10. Cuando hago café , aprovecho para hacer 400 o 500 ml y así tengo para varios días.

I've been using this a couple of times a day for a week now. No question, it is an outstanding product. Very easy to use, looks good (my partner was delighted with the look when I pulled it from the box, which is rarely her reaction to my coffee equipment purchases), no paper filters needed, and most importantly, makes a cup of coffee that takes really well-extracted. Definitely tastes better than what I get most of the time with my Hario V60. The coffee/water recommendation that comes with it are pretty spot on; I've been using about 23 grams rather than 20 for slightly stronger coffee. Also, if you don't have a gooseneck kettle, order one. I think this would be tricky to use without one. Overall, enthusiastically recommended.

Works perfectly every time.

Great. Was forced to use a French press for a while, this makes better, stronger coffee with no sediment and is easier to clean. For the size, I'm also impressed with how much you can fit in, it has measurements for 3 cups. Easily does that, plenty of room for someone to do 2 big cups too.

I bought this for my wife for Xmas. We have had filter machines, French presses, espresso machines etc etc and it was time to try a pour over. This thing is so easy to use and is great quality . At first I felt like the glass was so thin and going to break but I believe it is some kind of special silicate glass, more skin to chemistry grade glass than tumbler or drinking glass glass. I had a small issue with the filter recently and I contacted the retailer who replied to me within a few hours and I will be receiving a complete replacement next week! It’s rare these days that you deal with a company who stands by their products and this is a testament to their customer service. The brand is Coffee Gator and the company is called Nestopia. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one if their products again. Top marks! I have been using this product daily since Xmas and it has been washed every day and sometimes treated a little harder than it maybe should have been. Part of the filter came away where it was spot welded. I don’t like using paper filters. Overall 5 stars for the pour over set and 5 stars for the customer service 👌
