Question 1

Where is it made?

Accepted Answer

China.  This porcelain cone is the best.  It's thicker/sturdier than some others.  It comes with the #2 filters, but in my daily use of the cone I find the #4 filters are actually better.  For my cup I use approx. 50g of finely ground coffee and 300ml of water.  The #4 filter is taller than the cone, so this amount of grounds + water do not overflow the filter.  The #2 filter fits completely down inside the cone. If you make coffee for lots of people at the same time, you might want to get more than one cone. Enjoy!

Question 2

Is this lead free?  Don't like that it's made in China.

Accepted Answer

Good question, Joyce.  Checked the box (bit of a hoarder) and there is no mention of lead at all.  Yup, made in China.  You may want to check this out if you haven't already https://www.amazon.com/Bee-House-Ceramic-Coffee-Dripper/dp/B00GAABCUG.  In description it specifically mentions both cadmium and lead free! May order one myself as I didn't consider the heavy metals question.  TKS :DDid a bit of additional searching for myself and found this https://smile.amazon.com/Kalita-Wave-style-persons-35159/dp/B004R0PFPY/ref=pd_sim_79_63?ie=UTF8&dpID=418UDTqSLML&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR148%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=CS3TAVBSN1AFWQ9M24B6.

Question 3

What is the outside diameter of the very bottom flange that fits inside the mug?

Accepted Answer

3.75"/9.5cm = outside flange with a 2"/5cm inside flange that protrudes outward into cup.

Question 4

When mentioned where this was made, I've seen about 5 different answers. So for anyone who has purchased in the past year, can you say where made?

Accepted Answer

China. A plastic one I recently purchased was made in USA, however. Was disappointed that this one was not.
