Melitta Pour-Over Coffee Brew Cone Black

The Pour-Over Coffee Brew Cone Black is the simplest dripper in Melitta's catalogue for direct-to-cup pour-over brewing. The manufacturer describes it as a plastic cone, compatible with Melitta's #2 or #4 paper filters, the same ones used in the brand's electric cone-filter drip machines.

The manufacturer describes the cone shape as a functional choice: it lets you see the coffee level in the cup below without lifting the dripper, reducing the risk of overflow. The manufacturer does not state either the capacity in millilitres or the number of drain holes at the bottom of the cone.

It is a manual accessory, meant to sit directly on top of a cup or carafe: it has no electrical parts, and the result depends on the grind, the pour speed and the paper filter used.
