Fino Pour-Over Coffee Brewing Filter Cone, Number 4-Size, Black, Brews 8 to 12-Cups

The Fino Pour-Over Filter Cone has completely changed my morning routine. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and consistently brews rich, flavorful coffee without bitterness. The design fits perfectly over my carafe or mug, and it holds standard #4 filters without slipping or collapsing. Cleanup is a breeze, and I love how compact and durable it is. If you're into pour-over coffee but don’t want to deal with complicated gear or glass drippers, this is an excellent, affordable solution. Pros: * Brews smooth, flavorful coffee * Fits standard #4 filters securely * Lightweight, compact, and travel-friendly * Easy to clean * Durable plastic feels sturdy but not bulky Cons: * Doesn’t retain heat like ceramic or metal * No grip or handle, so it can get hot during brewing

While this is big, I like the fact that it sits securely down in my travel mug. Water poured over the grounds drips through in enough time to steep and drip, and it's easy to clean.

Very high quality, I use it every morning. 🙂👍

This is a very good method of making coffee for several people when space is at a premium. Think large breakfasts on Christmas morning with limited counter space, while traveling with three to five others and only wanting to make coffee in one batch, not a cup at a time, or backpacking with the family, etc. I've experimented quite a bit with it and I'd note that I don't love a drip coffee maker (electric or otherwise) because it doesn't have the full body and flavor I prefer, but this is effective. It is noted it has two drip holes: absolutely true. It does. It brews fast, so pour v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. Stir while you pour once or twice to stir up the grounds and get them exposed. Saturate all of the coffee, so swirl as you pour getting all particles wet. Keep the flow steady to make a strong brew. I like to keep my water temperature around 180 degrees. Boiling is too hot and makes bitter coffee. I use a no. 4 permanent filter and the fit in this device is so-so, but it works. This lets more sediment through than paper filters but is more environmentally friendly when backpacking (less trash). Also makes your cup a little stronger. Works on a carafe/pot from 2.75" diameter up to over 5" diameter -- with the top end of that range coming because the handle protrudes at exactly the same point as the ring does giving you almost an extra inch beyond the ring if you rest the bottom of the handle on the brim of the pot on one side. I can easily make up to 1.5 liters of coffee at a time with this (more than four large 12 oz. cups, more than six cups that were 8 oz. and more than eight cups that were a measly 6 oz. like coffeemakers like to pretend is average). Never had a need to make more, but I'd think it would make even more if pushed.

I've been using the Melitta single coffee maker for years and for the life of me can't understand why. Let me explain. I have been a widower now for just about ten years and never have found anyone's company as interesting as my wife. Thus I live by myself and without any family close by I'm the only one who drinks coffee. I do enjoy a fresh cup in the morning but brewing a third of a pot wasteful and too time consuming. That's where the Melitta single maker comes into play. A good idea and does work well for one of those dainty little cups. I'm the type of person whose not satisfied unless the cup holds at least 16 or more ounces. That's the big problem with the Melitta. If you pour more than 6 ounces of water into that unit the water has a tendency to overflow causing water and wet coffee grounds to cover the counter as well as the coffee cup. On top of that problem if you do want a larger cup of coffee it takes up to three or more refills into the reservoir. Problems with that is the water takes forever to drain through the tiny hole and the coffee grounds creep up the filter sides and have to be pushed back down. All in all not a good cup of coffee. I was actually looking for Melitta filters when I came across this large single coffee maker. I read the reviews and for the price I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. First! The item takes at least one extra day for delivery even though it's a Prime item. Secondly the box it's delivered in is three times the size of the coffee maker. Now those are the only drawbacks I can find. The rest is pure happiness. PROS ! The cup is a great size. The material seems more than adequate It take standard # 4 filters The base is lipped and quite large There is a center post to avoid shifting off any size cup, travel mug or your favorite container There are two drain holes for faster brewing It holds more than 8 ounces at a time The coffee grounds don't climb up the filter And best of all the water seems to say hot during the brewing process CONS ! Haven't found any yet Just remember to use standard coffee making procedures for a great cup. No boiling water, two heaping tablespoons of coffee for each 8 ounces of water and always always listen for the last drops of water before lifting the brewing maker or prepare for a mess. I use a large travel mug so the coffee stays hot. I also use DD coffee, light cream and raw sugar packets. I'll continue to use the two Melitta single serve makers for company but never for myself again.

I got the black filter, and it came in tact, no problems. I'm picky about my coffee and wanted to try the pour-over method, as it is an ancient Japanese way of brewing and enjoyed them at a major coffee house, where it's kind of pricey. I also have a pod-type generic brewer that has a gold filter/pod. Although I get a good tasting cup of coffee from that, this pour-over filter is much better. The taste is more robust and flavorful. I bought #4 filters bc that was the only size Walmart had, and it works fine (that was a question I had when buying the #1 size). I was able to buy 100 filters for $1.97 (Walmart brand) and must say the filters are quality, as they are thick. Because of this, the water eventually moves very slow through the 4 holes which is good bc it picks up more flavor. At first I thought it was the holes, but realized it's the thick paper. I let it bloom or steep for a few seconds. Eventually, I had to pick up the filter and just hold it over my cup. I gently squeezed it like a tea bag. Because it's a paper filter, of course it will rip if man-handled, but this gets all the flavor out (I never had it rip in my cup, but noticed once it was starting to tear a bit when I squeezed hard, before I threw it away). This really doesn't take long, just takes long to explain here. I love the flavor of the coffee I get, so it's worth the five or so minutes it takes. I use about 6-8 oz of hot water and 1 TBSP coffee (I get a high quality bean where half is all you need). I also do quickly rinse the paper filter with cold filtered water before use to cleanse any impurities. I know I am saving money than if I went to the coffee house daily to buy a pour-over cup of coffee at some $2.50 a cup!

Too small. Not big enough to fill a coffee cup.

Works , simple and easy.

A good and useful product.

Excelente calidad y precio

I have an old Bonavita coffee maker. It came with a taupe coloured Melita filter basket that broke after years of service. This basket was the only one I could find that fit my coffee maker. Love it!

Started using a cone again on holiday this year and was reminded that you don't need a fancy machine to get a decent cup of ground coffee. All you need is a cone, some decent ground coffee and some filter papers. It's convenient and easy to clean. I still use my espresso machine but for every day use this does an excellent job. For people who haven't used one before, for best results damp the grounds in the cone with off the boil water and leave for 40 seconds before adding more water.

A perfectly fine filter cone, works just fine! Wish they were available in the regular store though, it's nuisance to have to order such a normal ordinary little thing as a coffee filter cone. However with all the new methods out to make coffee, this simple and delicious way is just out of style I guess except where there isn't electricity or perhaps camping. But glad I got it!
