Sunday, November 21, 2010 HIC No. 4 Filter Cone, Porcelain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a solid piece of ceramic with good glazing. It rests securely on either a coffee mug or my old Mr. Coffee carafe.

This cone has three holes in the bottom, a feature which I have come to see doesn't make much difference.Apparently, how fine the coffee is ground determines the flow rate more than the number of holes.Once the coffee is through the filter paper, it is going to flow at a steady rate through one hole or three.

This cone is a little heavy, but I feel that it will last a long time.The handle is nice and thick.

I bought this item after trying the more expensive Frieling/Cilo and having bad luck with two of them.(You can see my review on that item's page.)

Using a cone of any type seems to make better coffee than the many drip machines I've tried over the years.You can control the temperature and flow of the water exactly the way you want.

Enjoy!

UPDATE:Have had this now over two months, using it twice every day.Love it.Good, solid, well balanced, and very handy.
