Good Way to make coffee
To make proper pour-over coffee, there's all kinds of fancy equipment out there to filter your 137oz (or whatever) of water, heat it exactly to 204 F, pour it slowly in magical circles over 26oz of organic locally roasted fair trade coffee ground by a burr grinder that costs more than your house, etc.
I have none of that, but I do have this thing, and I have one of those whirring spinning grinders (you know, the ones that, in the quest for pebbles, you get boulders and powder). And I have a bag of whatever coffee beans I got at the grocery store last week. And I have a stove and a sauce pan that makes a mean batch of hot water. And I pour about half a pan of not-boiling-anymore water over 'some' coffee grounds... and you know, this thing makes some good coffee. It's like french press, without all the sediment (mind you, I use a paper filter too, which helps filter out the unpleasantries).
As for the product itself, I mean there's not much to say. Big glass thing, plasticy-thing that wraps around it so you don't burn yourself while trying to pour it, and it comes with a permanent filter and coffee measuring spoon, so you can inaccurately measure your coffee beans or grounds. Working as designed.
