This brewer is pretty great! As with any pour-over brewer, technique is everything. It’s better to use an automated machine than bad technique with a manual method… but I digress.
This brewer is interesting because it’s a completely different brewer if you use it with or without the filter.
First, either way, it brews quickly, without much resistance from the bottom of the basket. Even though the holes at the bottom are tiny, there are a lot of them. I like this so that the resistance to flow comes primarily from the coffee rather than from the basket.
WITH the filter, the grind can be relatively fine without sediment, which slows down the extraction. However it brews with a decent amount of “bypass” which is not always a good thing. But with some experience, a good balance was achieved that allowed me to have a fine enough grind to get the extraction I want but minimize the bypass that dilutes the coffee. I end up with a nice clean cup of coffee!
WITHOUT a filter, you get a zero bypass brewer but a bit of silt. The holes are small enough that it will hold relatively coarse coffee grounds without much flowing through. You don’t have to go French press-coarse, but more coarse than other pour overs. It brews very quickly this way. So for proper extraction, you need to add the water slowly or in pulses.
Also, I highly suggest a good burr grinder before using this. I wouldn’t even think about a whirly-blade grinder without a filter. If using a filter, a cheaper grinder would work, but you won’t be able to get as good consistency brew to brew. Not a show stopper though.
Overall excellent brewer. My only complaint is the cheap tack welds holding the brew basket to the support ring. For the price, I expect better construction.
I got the one with the glass carafe. It’s been great. I use it with all of my brewers these days. And I have several. I like being able to see my coffee as it brews. Then I can pour it directly into whatever mug I want. Some of my mugs have small openings that don’t fit all manual brew methods.
I’m very pleased with this brewer and highly suggest it to anyone wanting a versatile, flat bottomed pour over brewer.

Finally! Coffee I Enjoy!
After covid, I lost my taste for coffee. I’ve tried so many different coffees and methods of brewing. I have a Keurig that will make iced tea, so there is a good bit of space under the “spout”. I put a filter in the Espro (one of their paper filters), put two level scoops of coarse-ground coffee in it, place it on an 8 oz cup, and just run hot water through the Keurig. Finally a cup of coffee that tastes good to me!

The paper filterless brew was what caught my attention

What made me choose this over other pourovers was the apparent option to brew without the filter paper. I tried the recipes both with and without the filter paper using a really burnt awful coffee as a "benchmark". Surprisingly both methods got a lot of the bitterness out and made the bad coffee "drinkable". Granted this might not be helpful to many but just thought I'd throw this out there.
Here is some information which might be useful though:
1. It is as much a pain to separate out the paper filters as you've probably heard in various reviews. Remove filters from the outer filter end and not the inner end.
2. The wave patterns tend to collapse pretty easily and need to be shaped back into theur original form or the paper filter will become deformed when it gets wet.
3. Obviously this will differ with coffee beans and with grinders but I settled on 13 clicks (loosening from the tightest setting) for with the paper filter snd 18 clicks without on my timemore c2 grinder
4. There is definitely more clogging of the metal mesh without the paper but it tasted as I expected from a non paper filtered pourover (more body, less draw time, some channelling, yet still a "filtered" taste)
5. I'm not sure if the kalita wave paper filters will be "fully compatible" with this but seems like it should work (espro filter availability seems limited)
6. Did not come with much documentation and the one card with instructions printed that did come with it were pretty vague for a beginner.
7. The base sits pretty well on top of a variety of cup sizes.
