Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Melitta U S A Inc 640007 Perfect Brew Filter Cone
Customer Review: Simple, Works
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using one everyday for 4 years now. I make a single cup of good coffee at home before I come into work where there are gallons of Starbucks at no cost to me personally. For many years previously my former office partner and I shared a French Press (I recommend the Portugese-made Bodum with a brazed and chromed brass frame and borosilicate glass decanter rather than their lesser spot-welded sheet metal units) -- but presses are more effective at "8 cup" sizes and now I'm drinking only "2 cups" that I brew myself. Also, this filter holder is far easier to cleanup than a press. The coffee is a little tamer than that made by a french press but comparable to drip brewed coffee.
Drip brewing is really done best in very large volumes because some of the beans' flavors are not extracted immediately unless a super fine grind is used. Small volume drip brewing tends to overextract finely ground coffee and underextract coarser grinds whereas large volumes of water tend to even everything out regardless of the coarseness of grind provided there is sufficient volume of coffee grounds. In small volumes, a perfect medium is difficult to achieve and using the right volume of coffee grinds is also important as too much will result in overextraction of the most available compounds whereas too little will result in a watery brew. Finer coffee will slow the drip down whereas coarser grinds will drain faster. Finer grinds conserve coffee beans but require more precise quantities.
With this type of brewer, you are in control of the water temperature and I've found it makes a big difference. Near boiling water tends to overextract tannic acids and make a bitter brew. Although some reputable experts suggest 190-200 degree water, I've found that 180-185 degree water produces less bitterness. It must go into a pre-heated cup.
The plastic here I understand is polypropylene -- no BPA, phthalates or PVC. I doubt ceramic versions are safer.
