World Market Ceramic #4 Pour Over Cone

[Tex]

In spite of how true that is one cannot go around being overly paranoid for ones own sanity ... IMHO.

 

If the damage is already done don't sweat it, right Mike? Is it still paranoia if they are out to get you?

Maybe they are out to get you but are you going to let the fear rule your life?

I'm just saying.

 

Hell no - I'm gonna get the SOBs before they get me!

Someone on CoffeeGeek posted some photos of a green cone from World Market - the poster refers to a small hole but judging from the photo it is simiilar to what I see on my Ready Set Joe from Melitta.

Barring any material issues, is this hole size any reason to be concerned?

That is insufficient drainage, IMO. YMMV.

I haven't picked one up yet - what if you grind coarser - still think it won't drain sufficiently?

I drilled extra holes in my Melitta pour over - preferring to let the filters be the limiting factor.

Grinding more coarsely gives a different extraction.

I can get this one from Frieling through ROASTe:



This is still a one hole model (photo from Amazon) but the hole looks bigger.

It is a 6-cup Frieling Cilio.  That hole is insufficient.  Peter and I drilled it out to make it larger.  Burnt up two drill bits in the process.  http://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/index.php?topic=7057.msg146323#msg146323

Ouch - looks like it won't be much of an improvement then.

The only other pourover on ROASTe is the V60 02 Ceramic.

Yes, yes, yes.  Excellent choice.  Use Melitta white filters and fold them at a right angle.

ROASTe's gain is World Market's loss - I used AUTUMN5 for $5 off this $22.55 (worth of ebeans) Hario cone. Thanks for the advice BoldJava.

If I like it well enough I might drop $45 worth of beans on the Hario Buono V60 Drip Kettle next.

I stopped by the WM last night with the wife after dinner to try and walk off the food coma.  First thing I did after stepping inside was head over to the coffee section.  The hole seemed way too small to me and this is before I read the same here and not having much experience with pourovers.  All wasn't lost though, I did manage to walk out with some yummy chocolate filled biscuit cookies and chili seasoned plantain chips from Chile.   

The wifey picked out some eats too, man pregnant women have weird tastes!

She wasn't in the mood for chili seasoned plantain chips? 

About the cone - Over on CG someone reported a long draw down - lucky for you that the force is strong.  Lucky for me that I keep counsel with the goat.

You are in the counsel of a ton of folk -- http://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/index.php?topic=7057.0

We went on an absolutely, unbelievable rip with pourovers.  There was tons to learn but it ended up with Hario and Beehouse for me, with Cones or Melitta whites.  Fantastic coffee.

Put chile' on anything and I'll eat it.  Not chili as in con carne chile' as in hot peppers/sauce.
