   I love coffee. I also love the convenience of the Keurig coffee pod system, but I gave it up a couple of years ago because of The Lorax, who speaks for the trees (not that coffee pods are made from trees). Since then, I have simply returned to brewing my daily 1.5 cups of coffee in a pot, which is why I decided to give this item a try. And it’s not much of a stretch, because I already use these same Melita brand #4 filters in my current (Ninja) coffee maker. After unboxing the base, coffee filter holder (which fits like a tight puzzle piece into the base), sample pack with five #4 Melita filters, porcelain coffee canister, canister’s wooden lid with seal, and porcelain pour-over container, I assembled the set and placed the water kettle on the stove to boil. In the meantime, I placed a filter into the pour-over container, added two heaping tablespoons of coffee, and grabbed my favorite coffee cup. Bad news: the pour-over container (poc) wouldn’t set properly on the wide-mouth cup. Turns out, the poc only fits atop coffee cups with a diameter of about 2.25″ to 3.0″, so chose one of those. Next, I poured 1.5 cups of boiling water over the grounds slowly, taking care to allow the coffee/water mixture not to overflow the poc (this took about a minute). Finally, I removed the poc, dumped the grounds-filled filter and drank the coffee. Here’s what I found: using the same amount of grounds, the coffee made with the pour over maker was weaker than that brewed in an electric coffee maker. I’m not sure about the exact difference between the electricity required to heat a pot of water to a boil versus that to brew a similarly sized pot of coffee, but I can’t imagine it’s large, neither, I’m pretty sure, is the time required for boiling much different than brewing. Ultimately, the question is, what advantage(s) does the pour-over system have over either brewing or using coffee pods. IMHO, both the pour-over and brewing systems are similar in time and energy use; however, the pour-over system results in weaker coffee using the same amount of grounds, which is a disadvantage. I also contend that the pour-over and brewed systems produce less landfill waste versus the pods, so they are both environmentally friendlier than the pods. In summary, the Melitta Artisan Porcelain Pour-Over Coffeemaker and Canister Set looks lovely, is more environmentally friendly than the coffee pod system, and is a quick and easy way to brew a cup of coffee; however, prospective customers should consider the cost-benefit ratio between this system and that of a traditional coffee pot before choosing one over the other.

   I needed a new filter holder (cone) after I broke mine for Melitta #4 size filters. This set has a cone and ships with a sample pack of #4 filters. I obviously assumed that the cone is for #4 filters. As it turns out the cone that comes in the set is a small (I guess a #2) sized cone, not suitable for #4 filters.

   This made the worst coffee. The hole is too large, water runs right through. Its coffee flavored water.

   Love it. Easy and looks great on my counter. Feel good about not using plastics k-cups and stale coffee!

   I’ve been a pour-over coffee fan for decades. When my authentic Melitta filter apparatus broke, I replaced with a similar looking white porcelain one, but somehow the coffee wasn’t the same. Might have been the number of drip holes in the look alike filter. Anyway, when I had the opportunity to try the Melitta Artisan Porcelain Pour-Over Coffeemaker and Canister Set for an honest review, I leapt at the chance.
   The unit is lovely; the inside of the filter being a light grey and the outside white. The coffee canister is white and the tray and filter paper holder is bamboo. Very attractive and would look nice on a countertop. I, however, prefer as few items on my countertop as possible, so this is stored in a cabinet. For looks I give it five start. Five stars as well for the quality of coffee brewed. I have a Melitta coffee measure, and two scoops works well for a nice strong brew.
   My only quibble is, as another reviewer remarked, the cone’s bottom, which will not fit all coffee mugs, especially large ones. Other than that, it’s great.

   Practical counter top set for 1 cup pour over coffee. Use Melitta filters. Makes a great cup of coffee. Easy and convenient and looks very tidy on my counter. The ceramic cone is very easy to clean. I only wish it had a coffee measure attached to the canister or a place to hold one rather than lying it loose on the tray. Overall, I would definitely recommend. I also really like how it looks, doesn’t take up too much space.

   I use it to store my coffee and filters. Better than a coffee maker. The pourer always travels with me. I love this set.
