What we like
- Produces one of the cleanest, most tea-like cups of any brew method here
- Cheap enough to own two or three without thinking about it
- Ceramic body holds heat far better than plastic versions
- Simple to clean, nothing to disassemble
What we don't
- Unforgiving — a rushed or uneven pour gives you a genuinely worse cup
- Single large hole means flow rate is almost entirely on you, not the dripper
- Ceramic version needs a warm-up rinse or it steals heat from your brew
