Review on ESPRO BLOOM Pour Over Coffee Brewer Set - Dual Filter Mode for Quick Coffee Brewing, Brushed Stainless Steel by Roberto Cohen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

DIY filter for coffee, tea and espresso

the thing has a great shape, it looks really good. The problem is that it doesn't work well with the filters that come with it. They are THICK, too thick for water to flow through the grind. Using it without a filter works fine, but the coffee is cloudy. I've been experimenting and looking for a solution, and here's what worked well. Find a glass or other vessel with the same or a similar diameter as the inner circle at the bottom of this brewery. Take some standard coffee filters (much cheaper) and spray them lightly with water to dampen them a bit. Place this teapot in the center of the wet filters, pull on the edges to wrap it around the jar or jar, and place a rubber band over it to hold it in place until it dries. Now they've made much cheaper and more readily available filters that fit in this brewery and actually get the water flowing through your grinder.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • crumpled packaging
