Collapsible Travel Pour Over Coffee Dripper Kit Single Cup, Paperless Camping Pour Over Coffee Maker with Metal Filter, Backpacking Manual Coffee Maker for Camping Coffee

I have used a large variety of immersion and percolation coffee brewers and feel that I have a decent amount of experience creating great coffee. I picked this brewer up to have an easy to use travel coffee brewer that was more compact than an Aeropress. In this regard, I think this dripper is an excellent option.To get straight to the point, it can brew excellent cups of coffee reliably. If you are truly traveling light, you may find it hard to get consistent cups with this dripper if you don't have a gooseneck kettle. Perhaps a drip-assist type device would help, or you can use a spoon to disperse the water stream evenly. Though the metal filter in this dripper does work well for travel instances (and keeps things super simple/minimal) I find that at home I still prefer using paper filters with it (I use Kalita 185's with great success.) Using only the metal filter I find this dripper quite slow compared to a v60. The paper filters speed it up a bit but it still isn't a fast brewer. I'm using a 1Zpresso Zp6 and despite the lack of excess fines I still get slow brews with this dripper with or without papers. Regardless of brew time however, the cups this dripper produces taste great and at the end of the morning, that's what matters most. I've found the cups I brew with this dripper full-bodied and sweet.Cleanup is super easy with filters and easy enough with just the metal filter. Mostly you'll just need to give the dripper a quick rinse on top and bottom to keep the staining and bitter flavors away. Without a filter you'll need to tap out the grounds into the compost or trash depending on what you have access to.Long story short, I can absolutely recommend this dripper for travel and light home use. Would I used it every day at home? I could work with it yeah, though it wouldn't be my first choice. But as an easy to use, travel focused pour over device it really excels.

I’m the only coffee drinker on our camping trips, so I wanted something small that would do the job and not take up too much room. This folds down flat and is prefect for a quick cup of joe. It does also fit #2 filters, which I sometimes use so that I don’t have to clean the grounds out.

My wife recently started joining me on some backpacking camping adventures. She really enjoys here morning coffee. I seldom drink coffee except in the winter. That was one of the conditions for her to come along. I have a camp coffee pot but it is really to large to backpack with. This pour over dripper is the answer. It is lightweight and collapses down to take up very little space in a pack. There is a screen in the bottom so it does not require a filter. It is easy to clean. We just rinse it out give it a shake and let it dry. (Washing when we get home.) Her coffee, creamer, and the pour over dripper all fit in a small bag and weigh only a few ounces. We have only used it on one trip so I cannot attest to its longevity but it seems well made and she is convinced that the one trips worth of coffee was worth the cost. It is easy to use and I believe it will hold up for quite a while.

During warmer weather, I camp a lot. My original 1-cup plastic drip coffee maker is finally showing its age. I've used it for more than 20 years, so have been looking for a replacement. The VVGCS Travel Pour Over Coffee Dripper Kit is the perfect solution. It's silicone, takes up minimal space, and is easy to use. With its removable strap, it is lightweight and collapsible. I couldn't find a better replacement.This little drip coffee maker makes great coffee, and there is nothing like a good cup of coffee on a chilly morning in the woods. It works well and has a wide enough base that it should fit just about any size coffee cup or mug. This little drip pot has a removable mesh bottom that is easy to clean between cups. The stainless-steel mesh, however, slows down the process and does allow a bit of coffee slug to seep into the cup. The grounds got stuck in the mesh and I had to stir the water several times to get all of it to seep through. To avoid this issue, I used a # 2 cone coffee filter. The filter contains the coffee grounds, allowing the hot water to seep through without clogging the mesh. This adjustment produced a richer, full-flavored cup of hot coffee. I didn't fill the litter maker to the top so added additional hot water as needed. Throwing away the disposable filter with the grounds was also much easier than cleaning the mesh.There is a little trial-and-error with producing the ideal cup of coffee, but this little pot works well, and makes a nice addition to my camping gear. I'd recommend it to others.

As an avid cold brew drinker, sometimes I just want a hot cuppa. Enter the VVGCS Collapsible Travel Pour Over Coffee Dripper.Easy to use...just open and set it on top of your favorite mug or even a jar. The base covers from pretty small to over-sized.Put in your grounds and pour hot water over the grounds. Just like other pour over strainers.The 'brew' drain time will depend on your grounds. Naturally if your grounds are very fine, it may take a bit longer to drain. Mine drained in less than a minute. After pouring the water, I set the whole thing in the microwave...NOT TO HEAT... but to keep the water hot. That way, I went about my business and came back to a great cup of hot coffee in a few minutes. Less than 5 to settle.The coffee tasted like expected and there was very little residue at the bottom. A bit. But not much.Easy to use. Easy to clean. Compact and ready to store or carry with you.Another user suggested taking to hotel/motel. Excellent idea since you may not want to trust the coffee makers in the room! Ew. Just nuke the water, pour and enjoy!Be sure to measure the amount your cup holds before pouring, as you may not be able to see inside.A bit pricey, imo. But a useful purchase and great gift idea for travelers.
