Melitta 1-Cup Pour-Over Cone review

A one-cup pour-over cone with a starter supply of number 2 filters.

Where we land on it Seven dollars, a one-cup cone and a start-up supply of filters. The listing argues that pour-over is the best way to brew and never says what the cone is made of.

What the maker puts in writing

  • 1-cup pour-over cone
  • Number 2 cone filters, start-up supply included
  • Open cone design to monitor the pour and avoid overfilling

Three facts about the product. The other two bullets are about the brand.

The cheapest way onto this shelf

Seven dollars and some filters. Nothing else here is close, and the next cheapest is a ceramic cone at nearly twice the price.

What it buys is the method rather than the equipment: a cone, a paper filter and a kettle will make the same style of coffee as anything above it, less consistently and with less heat retention.

The material is missing

Eight listings on this shelf name what the brewer is made of. This one does not, and on a vessel that holds boiling water that is the one thing worth knowing.

Availability

What it gets right, and wrong

Strengths

  • The lowest price on this shelf by a wide margin, with filters in the box
  • Number 2 filters are the most common size there is, shared with the OXO brewer on this shelf
  • An open cone that lets you see the water level, which the maker names as the reason for the shape

Compromises

  • Does not say what it is made of, which no other brewer on this shelf omits
  • One cup, with no capacity in ounces published
  • Three of its five bullets are about Melitta rather than about this cone

Where this one stands among its neighbors

At $9, it is the 1 cheapest of the 7 models in this category published here.

  • Least costly of the neighbors$9
  • Median$20
  • Most costly of the neighbors$35

What people want to know

What is it made of?

The listing does not say. Every other brewer on this shelf names its material — ceramic, borosilicate glass, 316 stainless, metal. This one describes the shape and the filters and leaves the material out.

How much coffee does one cup mean?

Unstated. The only cup definition on this shelf comes from a Bodum carafe, which calls a cup four ounces. A number 2 cone generally brews a mug; this listing does not confirm it.

Will I keep buying filters?

Yes. A start-up supply is included and number 2 cone filters are sold everywhere, including by this maker. Three brewers on this shelf use permanent metal filters instead and never need paper.
