I have never had a mess.

Different physical characteristics between a Yama and Cona, so we are talking apples and oranges about mess versus no mess using the wait-until-the-water-is-all-at-the-top method on a different brands of vac pots.

Now here's a tiny vacpot for all you partial pot makers - - a Hario mini-phon that makes 4 ounces.  Snagged off Twitter. Los Angeles company carries them, hefty price tag at nearly $100.  

Who will be the 1st GCBC to pull the trigger?  Where are those partial-pot-makers? http://www.merae.com/product.aspx?pid=448

Yeah ... the world of big effort ... little return ... and huge price.

It just doesn't have that "mad scientist" appeal.

I ran across this brewer today on Ebay. Looks just like a Yama TT brewer (even the same model # I think) but it is labeled with the brand name of "OCAREE". The handle on the stand is of a different design than the Yama. Looks interesting. Anyone ever heard or or seen this brand before?

Edit:
While posting this message they increased the shipping from $17 to $28. :o

If you get a Hario and a Yama, still in boxes, or not, lay them side by side, you'll swear they are made by the same people.  Even the boxes/packaging have similar markings/writings.

One of the boards I keep an eye on is the Barista Exchange.  I am surprised that so many Yama and Hario users still fiddle with the cotton filters (guess that is why they sell for me on eBay).  Everyone wants to know how to get and keep the filters clean.

Mercy, go to the Cory glass rod and quit worrying about how to clean the cotton filter.

Done.

I've gotten a few total stalls, but after taking B|J's "dunking" advise I never had one again. The stall definitely seems to be a result of too much stirring.

Well, I had a disastrous stall just now.  :o

Although nobody was injured—thank goodness—my new pot exploded to the far corners of the kitchen. If you ever should take the advice of a newbie vacpot user, do NOT, under any circumstance, ever ever EVER try to circumvent the stall with a cool towel wrap. :nono: Really bad idea! Now, where's my dunce cap? :BangHead:  The stall probably had to do with too much stirring, since the ground was the same as my previous two vacpot brews.

Happy to report, after 45 minutes of clean up, the cory made it through fine—along with the humans and pets.  :)
