I’ve had my 480ml about a week now. I initially bought the 240ml pot but returned it – my fault, I didn’t realize how small it is. In my opinion, if you like a good mug of coffee in the morning, you will need the 480ml. What can I say, I like to prolong my experience of drinking really good-tasting coffee – and that’s what I’m getting with this brewer. It definitely took some trial and error, and I’m still a little mystified because I recently bought a small scale and found that I’m using about 18 grams of coffee to make 360ml (about 12 oz.) of a pretty strong brew . That’s WAY less that what Hario recommends (they say 10-12 grams per 120 ml). I use a somewhat coarse grind (Baratza Encore burr grinder at #18) and the total brewing time is around 3 minutes, including a 30 second “bloom” time. I decided to try my old 1 quart pyrex measuring cup to pour with before dropping another $30-$40 on a “pour over” kettle and I’m glad I did – it’s working out fine, I can get a nice steady dribble of water into the grounds. Dealing with the filter is not as bad as I thought – no one’s mentioned that you have to thread it on & off the ring every time you make a cup, but it actually got easier after the first few times. Cleanup is easy – just turn it inside-out, tap into a garbage can, rinse and store. That’s where things get a little more complicated – my wife, who’s a bit of a germ-phobe, claims that the recommended method of storage for the filter (soaking in the refrigerator) is not sanitary. I lack the knowledge to speak to this specific issue, but my gut feeling is that if you change the water each time and boil the filter once a week (Hario recommends boiling it occasionally) you’ll be fine. I guess time will tell on that one.
Did I mention that the coffee I make with this brewer tastes really good? I have an Aeropress but gave up on it since the cups it makes are too small, and after diluting with water the coffee seems to lack some of the acidic “bite” I like. I’ve been getting Clover brews at the “unmentionable” place, and while those still taste best to me, the Hario is a very close second.
UPDATE! Nine months later, I thought I would mark the occasion of changing my filter! I probably should have changed it a while ago, only because the water is flowing much easier in the new one. This first cup with the new filter did taste a little cleaner too. I store it in a ziplock in the freezer, not soaking in water as the instructions suggest. Of course the filter became discolored from regular use, and it was a little more difficult to thread onto the ring (as the openings got frayed), but I never saw any evidence of mold or decay on the cloth. I did boil it every few weeks as Hario suggests.
As great a tasting cup as I get with the Hario, I am considering moving on. The issue for me is that I like a HOT cup of coffee and despite my best efforts – preheating the filter, pot, pyrex pouring cup, *and* my coffee mug with boiling water – it's just not making it. By the time the three minute + pour is done, the coffee is satisfyingly hot only for the first one or two sips. I think I'm going to need an "SCAA certified" brewer that provides a constant flow of 200+ degree water. If a really hot cup 'o joe is not as big an issue for you, I will repeat that the Hario makes an exceptionally good tasting cup of coffee.

Since 1921
Hario was established in 1921 in Tokyo, Japan as a manufacturer of laboratory glassware. By the late 1940s, after many years of research, the company introduced its heatproof "HARIO glass", which allowed the company to introduce its first coffee product - the Hario coffee syphon. After years of expansion in a number of different categories, in 2005, Hario released its iconic V60 Dripper, which has since become the most widely used dripper for manual pour over coffee. Hario's current catalog now spans kitchenware, laboratory glassware, automotive headlights, aromatherapy, pets products and jewelry, with a particular focus on specialty coffee and tea accessories. In addition to its dedication to product quality, Hario has an unwavering commitment to social responsibility, operating its pollution-free glass factory which utilizes 100% natural ingredients.

Cloth filters allow more flavors than paper, but not as much oils as metal filters.
After using the Aeropress for the last few years, and replacing its paper filter with a DIY unbleached linen filter, I sprung for this Hario flannel filter set up. What I like best is the new flavors I am discovering in the pours. It also has a certain elegance that the Aeropress cannot match, and no plastic or rubber is involved. Cloth is the way to go, much superior to paper or metal filters. I have found this easy to clean too. Note in the photo I drilled a hole in the handle to hang it easily to dry. Being in a low r/h climate, air drying does not create mold, and I rinse clean everything after making the coffee, and again rinse the filter before the next pour. Also I will use percarbonate occasionally to bleach and sterilize the flannel as needed. I am the only one who drinks coffee in this household, and the 480 ml size is perfect for one.Downside is the carafe is an intermediary step before the final destination of the mug, so cooling will happen unless the carafe and mug are preheated. Another downside is the price seems a little bit high, but the knock-off available on amazon is not as nice. ( I guess if you really wanted to go cheap, you could DIY your own flannel sock and just drip into your mug!)
