A Magic Metal Kone for Brewing Coffee [Video]

The worst part about manual pourover coffee techniques-say, Chemex or a V60-are the paper filters you throw away after every single cup. Coava’s photochemically etched metal Kone filter replaces them-and drastically changes the coffee concurrently.

Coffee brewed via Chemex is usually noted for its brightness and clarity-thanks largely to the paper filter, which filters and absorbs many of the oils you are going to get in a heavier cup from, say, a press pot. Coffee that comes out of the Chemex using the Kone filter, however, is a crazy hybrid of the two says the NYT’s Oliver Strand : ” It will give you the control of a Chemex and the tannic cup you get from a French press: a Frenchmex…it was strange to seek out such an aggressive coffee sitting in my Chemex. It was like pulling the tip off a bamboo steam basket and encountering a nice section of grilled meat.”

Entirely manufactured inside the US, Coava’s already got 900 orders for the $50 cone-very possibly the newest piece of must-have gear for coffee fetishists always in search of new experiences. (Pro tip from ShotZombies : It works better with a Chemex than a V60.) It can finally push me to choose up a Chemex. Maybe.
