Here is a short video showing how to make a Pour Over Funnel for coffee lovers.
In case you don't know what that is:

ReplyDeleteHi John! Love the videos lately, watched nearly all of them.
ReplyDeleteA suggestion from someone who uses pourovers frequently. Your cone might work with a fabric filter, but most of the pourover filters on the market are paper, of which there are two main types. One is a a true cone shape (like those made for a Hario V60 or Chemex) where the hole at the bottom of the ceramic cone is wide open, like an inch in diameter.
The other type (like for a Bonmac or Melitta) has a flat, narrow bottom. So if you picked two spots inside your cone a bit to pull out and give it a "long bottom" instead of a cone, the other filters would fit.
Did that make any sense? Keep up the good work!
Great suggestion Matt, I will try it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I use the Flip HD video.

About $150 -$200?? at Sam's
Cool. I'm always surprised when I see something someone's making and I'm like . . . huh, why didn't I think of that?!? Nice . . .
ReplyDeleteA coffee wholesaler came into the tile shop where I work, inquiring about custom tasting cups. Chief tile man showed him a coffee funnel he'd made (which was beautiful). The coffee wholesaler said it needed the ridges inside, but I cannot remember the reason why. It was something about the flow, speeding or slowing, as I recall. I checked the link you had and those have the interior ridges too. Maybe leaving throwing rings would serve the same function, unless they need to be vertical. Sorry I can't remember the reason - naomi
ReplyDeleteMaybe so the coffee gets out and it doesn't soak and get bitter? Thanks for the tip.
