Bodum Pour-Over 17 oz review

A 17-ounce borosilicate carafe with a permanent stainless filter and a cork sleeve, made in Portugal.

Where we land on it The 17-ounce half of a matched pair: same borosilicate, same permanent steel filter, same Portuguese cork. It adds one warning the big one does not — the cork sleeve stays out of the dishwasher.

What the maker puts in writing

  • 17 oz
  • Permanent stainless steel filter
  • High-heat borosilicate glass carafe
  • Cork sleeve with suede cord — not dishwasher safe
  • Carafe and filter are dishwasher safe · made in Portugal

The careful sentence

Cork sleeve with suede cord. (not dishwasher safe)

Its own larger sibling on this shelf says only “dishwasher safe”, with a cork band of its own. This listing separates the glass from the cork, which is the kind of detail that saves a part.

Half the carafe, the same money

Seventeen ounces against thirty-four, at effectively the same price, with the same glass, filter, cork and country.

The case for this one is that you will not brew more than two cups at a time, and a half-full carafe cools faster than a full one. That is a real argument; it is just not a value argument.

What it gets right, and wrong

Strengths

  • The right size for one or two people, where its own 34-ounce sibling on this shelf is built for four
  • A permanent steel filter, so nothing is bought again
  • Separates what goes in the dishwasher from what does not, which the larger Bodum does not spell out

Compromises

  • No cup definition and no grind guidance, both of which the 34-ounce Bodum publishes
  • The steel filter is described without a mesh count or a grade
  • Priced within pennies of the carafe holding twice as much on this same shelf

What people want to know

Why is it the same price as the 34 oz Bodum?

Nothing in either listing explains it; they were read within a few cents of each other. The larger one holds twice as much and defines its cup size; this one specifies that the cork sleeve must stay out of the dishwasher. If capacity is not a constraint, the larger is the better value.

What goes in the dishwasher?

The carafe and the filter. The cork sleeve with its suede cord does not, and this is the only Bodum listing on this shelf that separates the two. The larger one simply says dishwasher safe.

Metal filter or paper?

Metal, permanent. The maker’s argument is that it does not trap the coffee’s essential oils — the same claim the 34-ounce version makes. Six of the nine brewers on this shelf use paper instead.
