RSVP Maunual Drip Coffee Filter Cone for Carafes or Thermos Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a Zojirushi 1L carafe and was very happy with it.Then read in the instructions that there was an option to put a Manual Drip Filter Cone that could be used to make coffee directly into the carafe.I checked it out on Amazon but saw a lot of criticisms that gave me pause.But slowly I started checking them out one by one and found them either to be wrong or irrelevant.The most important criticisms that I saw was that the thing dripped too slowly and was structurally unbalanced.

One reviewer made the claim that their Melitta One cup cone had 4 holes and thus drained coffee quickly.I also own a Melitta one cup drip cone and found that (despite claims to the contrary) there is only one hole in that device and that did not prevent the Melitta one cup from making coffee in less 30 seconds

There was also a claim that Melitta's 10 cup Cone/Carafe would be better as it would be faster than this Manual Drip Coffee Cone.But I checked out the Melitta at a local Ace Hardware and again it only has one hole.Plus the thing is so wide it would be useless for the purpose of making coffee directly into my Zojirushi carafe.

So seeing how these two criticisms were factually inaccurate I bit the bullet and bought the cone and just received it two days ago.On initial inspection, I can see how someone could say it seems structurally unstable.But this thing has a small hollow cylinder jutting out from the bottom of the cone (not shown in in the picture) through which coffee drains (like a typical funnel).And when you insert this cylinder into the narrow neck of a carafe or thermos it is absolutely rock solid.On my Zojirushi, it is asif they were made for each other.If you needed to use this make coffee for a cup or mug then you probably are better off with the Melitta one cup cone.

I ground my beans extra fine for cone filters and it took 3 minutes to make 1L of great coffee.I don't know that may be way too long for some people (as others did not post times I can't say) but it's perfectly fine for me.So at least for me the claim of being too slow was just not true.

I can't wait until the weekend.I usually percolate a pot of coffee and read the paper and some books to pass away the morning before exercising and doing household chores.
====================
It's been over half a year since I bought the cone and have nothing but good experiences with it.I like it so much I bought another so I could make a pot of coffee at work.I have noticed that with extremely fine ground coffee (where the grounds turn to mud in the filter), the drainage is slower but you can try stirring the grounds as it drains, putting in the filter at a 90 degree angle to keep the filter from sticking against the sides of cone.I've never had a persitant problem of slow drainage.In any case, every day I use this cone to make a litre of coffee.It takes me less than 10 minutes to grind the beans, make the coffee, cleanup and walk back to my desk where all my coworkers fight amongst themselves as to who gets to drink my coffee a litre goes pretty fast when you've got five people drinking it.

I don't claim that everyone will have this experience but as I said for someone who just wants a cup of coffee in the morning and some to share with friends, this has been a wonderful purchase.
