What you use it for

For anyone who wants real coffee in the morning without carrying a press or a machine. It sits on your mug or straight on a wide-mouthed bottle, so you need no extra carafe. On the bike the gain is mostly packed size: flat in the frame triangle instead of a block in your bag. And you never have to remember paper filters again — which is exactly what you forget.

Use and care

Rinse the mesh straight away; dried grounds are far harder to get out. The mesh lifts out if you would rather use a paper filter after all. The spiral pattern in the base keeps the water draining evenly instead of running straight through. Pour in two or three goes rather than one — the coffee extracts more evenly that way.
