Review on ☕ Snow Peak CS-113 Collapsible Coffee Drip: Lightweight, Compact, Made in Japan, Ideal for Camping and Backpacking, Stainless Steel by Mark Lodge

I ordered this because of a review I found in Bon Appetit magazine. I thought this would be a great addition to my travel essentials wherever my travels take me. It is light, foldable and yet stable. In general, this is a very nice addition, but the instructions are in Asian. So not sure if I use a #2 or #4 cone filter, basket filter and all of the above. After examining a foreign scheme, it seems that there is a manufacturer's recommendation for a filter. Another scare pause was my premise of buying this "American" that offers Chinese models at half the price. I've been to the Snow Peak website and they're pretty elite, so this non-English guide was a surprising revelation. At this price I was expecting instructions in English. It is what it is. He made a cup of coffee and folded it after cleaning. Mission accomplished but I felt the product didn't meet my 5 star criteria.
