Chantal Lotus Stoneware Pour Over Filter

Beautiful "Lotus" ceramic pour over coffee filter. Works perfectly.

My friends make their coffee with a pour over filter so when my coffee maker stopped working I started researching what was out there. This is exactly like the ones sold in Target so I was able to hold it in my hand and see one in person which helped narrow down my decision. The ones at Target were a light grey (boring). The aqua color is beautiful and goes with most of my mugs and some of my kitchen colors. I bought #4 filters because I read another review that suggested that size. It sticks up a little in the cone but I like that because I can add water close to the rim if I want and walk away. Usually I stand there and slowly pour the hot water over the grounds which does take time, unlike hitting an on button on a coffee maker and walking away. There is a little indentation for your thumb in the handle which I love because, as another review noted, this does have some heft to it. It's well made, rinses well and fits most of my mugs. I love that I can make the coffee directly into my Thermos travel mug in the morning. This eliminates the cleaning of the coffee pot and plastic filter holder (yay! no more plastic). I make the coffee, toss out the paper filter of grounds, rinse the cone, place it on the dish rack to dry. Later I store it on a mug near my electric teapot. It's perfect for me.

First one was delivered broken but they sent a replacement in a timely manner. Nice and large.

Got this dripper yesterday. It is so beautiful I could hardly wait to try it out. This morning the test. Fantastic! Perfect coffee for a real coffee nut. The color is such a deep blue, I think I'm going to leave it out on the counter. Perfect cool blue for a hot AZ summer. My Melitta #2 filter fit perfectly, so did the #4. I can't think of anything I don't like. 5-stars!

I've been looking for one like this! I usually make coffee for myself in the morning and wanted a compact pour over. This fits the bill perfectly! The design is flawless. It is sturdy when you place it on your mug and I love the little window so you can see the level of your coffee below. it works with my #4 filters I already have, too. The drip is a little on the speedy side but I still get a flavorful cup each time. I love how it's a ceramic piece too; ones I saw similar to this in stores were plastic and I don't like pouring hot, hot water through something plastic. Get this!

I had to order this product without much market research because my friend broke the one I had been using for a long time (bought at a boutique coffee store in London, England) and I only drink pourover coffee in the morning at home. Because my older one was shattered, the key feature I was looking for was a bit of sturdiness, even in ceramic form. (I refuse to use a plastic filter because of health concerns.) I have been using the filter for more than a month now. When it arrived, I was a bit surprised by the size of the filter. It was a lot bigger than the one I had in the past although both filters fit #2 paper filters. Similarly, the filter was a lot heavier than the one I had in the past. For those of you with weak wrist, you may want to take this into account. It's excessively heavy to make it impossible to use, but not as light as feather and definitely heavier than some other well-known ceramic filters. So, the most important part: coffee. I specifically wanted a filter with more than one hole at the bottom because I don't like the idea of a single hole. This one has two (maybe this is why I bought this). Because the holes are slightly on the smaller side compared to my previous one, the coffee comes out a bit slower, but not too slow. It takes about 10 seconds to get a 12oz mug filled. One thing I really love about this filter is the peeking hole, which allows me to know exactly how much water I should pour into the filter. This makes the pouring part so much more enjoyable as I don't have to worry about making too little or too much. This is a really good filter and I am very happy with my purchase. The only reason I gave this four stars is because of its size (takes up a bit of space in my cupboard) and its weight. Since I wanted a sturdier ceramic one, I guess I should have expected this. However, I have issues with my wrist and do not prefer heavy objects. For those without space or weight issues, this would be a perfect filter for that blissful homemade pourover cup of coffee.

This item arrived fast and spectacularly well-wrapped. Great to see a vendor treat the customer with respect. The item is very well made and very solid. At first, I was taken aback by its size and only two drain holes; but it passes with flying colors on both counts. The unit fits a broad range of mug sizes because of its great design and balanced structure. To my surprise, the drain holes are very effective. I used to use an Italian Alessi espresso pot. I am glad to have switched to a ceramic/filter system. It is much easier on the stomach.

Use this daily and am very happy

This is not worth and when I return it they charged shipping fee and didn’t refund full amount.

Love it. Very good design & well made. It fits all my coffee cups, small and large. The window is especially useful too!
