OVALWARE Paperless Stainless Steel Pour Over Coffee Filter – Reusable and Permanent Coffee Cone Dripper for Ovalware, Chemex, Hario and Other Carafes

Ovalware stainless steel coffee filter is an excellent product — easy to use, store, and clean. Just as important, it will save the constant cost of those beautiful paper filters as well as reduce paper waste in landfills and harmful chemicals used in the manufacturing process.

I'm writing this the day I received it and I've only used it twice so this is just based on first impressions, but I spent an eternity trying to figure out which metal filter to buy and I finally settled on this one. I wanted to make sure to write a review for anyone else struggling through the same process. I really wanted something that could replace my paper filters without being low quality, making a bad cup, or being too much of a pain to deal with. Highlights: -This fits perfectly in my Hario V60 -The rubber ring is removable, which is great because I don't need it. But it's a very nice ring that fits very snuggly. I could always put it back on if I change my mind. -The mesh is VERY fine and nothing seems to get through. There's no sludge in the bottom of my cup. -The seams are very smooth and everything feels high quality. This is exactly what I would expect for the money. I have no complaints. It seems like something that will last for years. -It's very easy to clean. I don't know if it will get harder to clean over time (it seems like it might) but it's currently very easy. -My coffee tastes great! I was worried it would impact the taste, but this is better than my french press. I was worried I wouldn't like it as much as my hario paper filters but it still makes a very good cup of coffee. Negatives -It does seem to drain slightly faster than the hario paper filters, but this doesn't effect taste. My coffee doesn't seem any weaker, but I figured it was worth mentioning. I'm a little worried I'm getting less caffeine per cup but I can't tell by taste. -I think this will require a little extra tlc to get clean every week or two. I currently can't speak to how much of a pain this will be. It's hard to tell how much the oils and the finest grounds are going to want to stick to this over time. (I have a cleaning powder, I think Cafiza, that will hopefully make the job easier.) But it's coming clean pretty effortlessly right now. I'll definitely have to come back once I've been using it for awhile and let you know if it holds up, but I don't have any complaints yet. It's exactly what I was hoping for. I chose this in part because it was one of the few filters I saw that has a website. I figured that was a good sign because so many things on amazon are from brands that exist only here and show up looking nothing like the product photo. What you see is exactly what you get and it's sold by the manufacture. It all seems very legit. If my filter's still going strong after a few months I'll probably buy a second one to have as a back up.

I love the Ovalware filter. It works perfectly in the Hario Switch 03. Well made and should last a long time. Very easy to use and to clean. Coffee tastes great using this filter.

Really happy with this filter. It was a replacement for another double filter I had that clogged and had gotten really slow (probably used too fine a grind and didn’t keep up with weekly vinegar cleaning). This one gives me a pretty fast cup of coffee without compromising on flavor, and I prefer it over single layer filters that allow more sediment through. Just wish it had a little tab or was a little wider to fit my Chemex pour over, but it does fit the neck and the little rubber O-ring lets me grab it through the Chemex spout opening and not burn my fingers.

I decided to get this instead of ordering more paper filters. Even though this is more cost effective and brews faster, I find out it not as easy to clean out. Grant it you essentially dump the grounds and then rinse out the excess in the sink. I just find it as an extra step and not as easy as just lifting the paper filter out and tossing it in the trash. Plus the extra step in having to soak in vinegar to clean periodically I don’t know if it is worth it for me. Also keeping vinegar on hand is not something I normally stock. The cost of one box is $10.95 for 100 filters at World Market plus the discounts of buy online, pick up in store or the periodic sales of 20-25% off. Overall the cost of paper filters is more but the convenience kind of makes up for it. I will keep this filter but will go back to my paper filters. Overall this metal filter is nice but just not for me.

Perfect fit for the glass Hario V60-2, in case you're wondering. It works flawlessly. Excellent design, quality and easy to clean.

Started out great but after 1.5 years it is SO SLOW! I need to buy a replacement which I'm disappointed about.

Very good quality.

Après avoir acheté une Chemex 8 tasses, je me suis rendu compte que ma consommation de filtre me coûtait plutôt cher ! Du coup j'ai pris ce filtre en métal et c'est super pratique, ça rentre pile poil Je recommande vraiment, c'est solide, bien usiné propre

Sirve excelentemente. Había leído unos comentarios de que no tenías la misma experiencia de calidad y sabor que con los filtros de papel, pero no es real. Yo creo que lo que afecta el sabor del café es la mala calidad del café usado. El filtro queda excelente para la Chemex de 6 tazas.

Der Filter ist wirklich vom Feinsten, handwerklich sauber gearbeitet und im Vergleich mit dem, den ich vorher hatte, im Ergebnis absolut überzeugend. Das Aroma des Kaffees kommt deutlich voluminöser herüber. Schön wäre gewesen, wenn es noch ein kleines Accessoir zum Aufhängen des Filters gegeben hätte. Kritisch ist anzumerken, das, was auch andere zuvor schon moniert haben, sich der Filter, in ausreichend stabiler Kartonage verpackt, warum auch immer, letztlich 'plastiktütenverhüllt' zeigte. Maskenpflicht für Filter? 😕 Dann muss das natürlich sein! 😷

Such a great money and environment saving product. I find this gives the true taste to my espresso beans rather than the filters which I was using. Easy to clean can go in the dishwasher fine. All in all a great accessory to our chemex.
