Primula Brew Buddy Portable Pour Over, Reusable Fine Mesh Filter, Dishwasher Safe, Single Cup of Coffee or Tea at Any Strength, Ideal for Travel or Camping, 404.88 milliliters, Red

We bought two Brew Buddy single serve mesh filters to try out before considering them as gifts for the coffee drinkers in our life. After using them we have some thoughts: Overall we like them, a lot! These little gems have worked like a dream! The grinds dump right out of them cleanly; there are a few grinds left, but let's be honest, that is the nature of the beast! The Brew Buddy sclean right up with some hot water and detergent. There are no open seams for grinds to get caught in and the dark color of the mesh keeps it from getting that dingy look white mesh tends to get from repeated exposure to coffee. We have not used a lot of flavored coffee in the Brew Buddy, we just don't roll that way, but the mesh hasn't held a coffee aroma at all. We have tried other pour over style coffee setups and they have been decent. But, some of them have (or should I say, had) white mesh and it has taken on a rather stained appearance over time. And some are hard to use with a mega-sized mug. Or they involve a "hard" filter, or a carafe of some sort, or both. All of which can make traveling with them a bit daunting or just not possible. (You know the result of that, right? You're stuck with either a really pricey coffee of whatever passes for coffee where you are, neither of which is ideal!) The way the plastic on the Brew Buddy (AKA little mesh basket of caffeine handiness) is shaped keeps steam dripping back into the cup and not rising out of the sides of the filter to prematurely cool your brew. That is so nice, because, you know, some days you just don't get to brew and consume. Some days life intervenes. With the Brew Buddy you can buy a few more minutes of nice hot coffee without a reheat (it's never as good that way) or suffering the lukewarm coffee experience. The Brew Buddy also stores pretty flat so it's easy to transport. I would suggest a plastic zip top bag to carry it in. You can count on a great coffee experience pretty much anywhere with these. Just pack some of your favorite ground bean or tea (it works marvelously for loose tea, too!!!) in a travel container, along with the Brew Buddy and you're all set to meet adventure with properly caffeinated confidence! The diameter of the Brew Buddy allows it to be used on just about any diameter mug, you would have to have and extraordinarily wide mug for these not to work for you.It's perfect for just about any size mug, short, tall, wide or narrow. Your coffee pleasure shouldn't be limited by the mug you're handed, no matter where you're imbibing! I think the coffee drinkers on our gift list will be finding one of these in their presents!

I ordered this as I was kinda grossed our by my 13 year old kuerig. I wanted something along the pour over lines so I could still have the same or similar quality of the occasional cuppa. I nailed it with this! Highly recommend for ease of use, portability, storage, and economy. I am typically a tea drinker so I bought the two pack- once for tea and one for coffee. So far I feel very satisfied in creating a perfect cup in either event of use. The coffee is deliciously rich- I can leave it to get stronger if I want (not typical for me as a tea drinker though). It's easy to dump out and rinse. It dries in the dish rack dryer then tucks away in the drawer for later use. Bottom line- I would recommend if you are looking for something easy, compact, and fits on most mugs. I have no trouble recommending this in the future to my friends.

I will not fault this little gadget as being bad at all. It's just not for me. I wanted something to prevent me from having to consistently buy paper filters. While this certainly achieves that, there are other things that don't work so well for me. Don't misunderstand -- this is about preference NOT quality. First off, this little guy is VERY well made! It's sturdy and solid and I'm betting it will last a long time. When I made coffee it flowed very well and it rinses easily with hot water. My wishes to make it perfect for ME: The lip was slightly more slanted down towards the filter, but then that would add to the other problem -- the little filter sits low into the coffee. That doesn't affect the drink in any way, but you need to monitor carefully to see when you've poured enough water or it's easy to overflow. Evidence the grounds and coffee marks on the little towel underneath. 😆 Another version of this model made so that it sits higher on the rim of the cup and water flows down into the cup with better angle and vision at the level of the coffee being dripped. The main reason I won't be using this more is that I also wanted something for my CamperVan. This takes too much water to clean well, so that is not best in limited water situation. If you're out near a lake or stream that would be an eaay get-around, but I will often be away from that resource. Anywhoooo, hope this helps good buying decisions and I'll hope for another version of this nifty gadget! 👍😃👍

Never thought I'd give up on my Stanley filter, but these work just as well, if not better and are way easier to clean.

I use one for coffee and one for tea. These have been great to take on trips and be able to use a kettle to brew a nice cuppa when a coffee maker isn't available for "filter coffee". Convenient and compact to tuck in a bag or backpack.

So fantastic! We've tried several varieties, but Primula Brew Buddy is the best: Super sturdy, compact, easy to clean. Perfect for traveling although we sometimes also use it at home. We've used several different size grinds, and it does fine with all of them. Maybe a little sludge for super-fine grind, but that doesn't bother us at all because the plusses are so significant.

I bought one of these years ago when I was going to be in a situation where I wasn't going to have a coffee pot, but could get hot water. Kept it even though I started using other methods. Needed it again and couldn't find it so I bought another. Took awhile to figure out the right keywords, but I wasn't giving up. Everything that was popping up was either Keurig type pods or overly complicated similar items. Was so happy when I found the same exact one. Ring that sits on your mug, mesh pouch. That's all you need. A glorified sock (only hard core coffee lovers that have been in absolutely desperate situations will understand lol) Makes good coffee. (I fill it up with water and then pour slowly.) Small enough to pop in a resealable plastic bag and stick in a purse or backpack.

Easy to use, like that it’s dishwasher safe. Compact size. Reason I deducted a star is that the coated cardboard packaging is not recyclable. For an environmentally friendly product, that’s a disappointing choice. Also, while the company is in Florida, it’s manufactured in China. I got a set if two for an excellent price. Especially for something reusable, I’d happily pay more for it to be manufactured here in the USA.

This is one of the best things I've ever bought on amazon.ca. I initially bought this to quickly steep green tea for my husband instead of using a tea ball but I quickly found out (after giving away my bonmac coffee dripper to someone else who loved it) that this is great for brewing coffee grounds, too. If a traditional pour-over produces a 5/5 flavoured cup of coffee, this Buddy (at less cost, effort and waste) will give you a 4/5 cup. It will not filter out some of the sediment and oils that a dripper system with a filter does. But your coffee still tastes great and in lickety split time. Just measure in your grounds and pour water. That's it. Almost as fast a making a cup of (shudder) instant. This quick method also means that your coffee is hotter than with a traditional pour-over set up (which you have to drink almost as soon as you make or it goes cold). As a busy mom, I really appreciate how fast I can get a good cup of coffee in the morning when I need one, without any extra fuss, expense and waste. My husband and I use this on mornings when we want coffee but not a whole pot. I'm surprised at how sturdy and strong the filter fabric portion of this Buddy is. It is holding up to regular use (several times a week, sometimes daily, for over a year now) and hand washing (we air dry in our dish drainer). Another reviewer mentioned letting the wet coffee grounds dry out over another cup to make emptying the dried out grounds into the bin easy, so we often do that. This would be super for making a decent cup of coffee at the office. We also use it for green tea and don't notice any transfer of coffee flavour so, to me, it means the Buddy washes cleanly. If time is against you often or you wake up tired or don't want to spend a lot on fancy dripper systems or coffee machines, I would definitely recommend getting this. It's simple and it works. The bonus is that it is inexpensive. Before motherhood, I would have turned up my nose at using something like this (it's plastic, the horror) but life changes. Now, I wouldn't necessarily use this to brew expensive gourmet coffee: I would at least put a paper filter in first. Or buy another bonmac dripper for that :-) And a goose-neck kettle. In the meatime, this is perfect with normal, store-bought grounds or beans and for tea people, it should be fine for loose-leaf brewing.

I've been using these for 2 years. They're absolutely PERFECT for travelling because of how flat they pack. They fit every cup I've tried them in and no filters to fuss with. They clean up super easy and I like the control over the strength of brew. I've started giving them to friends for their trips. Highly recommend!

Yıllar önce de bir tane almıştım hala kullanıyorum. french press ile uğraşmaya gerek yok. Kolayca demleniyor, kolayca temizleniyor. Tatile, geziye götürülebilir. Çok memnunum

È un prodotto di buona qualità. La rete è facile di pulire. L'ho utilizzato per preparare caffè.

Great product, just what I was looking for. Really nice quality. Easy to pack for camping etc. Very convenient for one or two cups and great value as only a couple of quid extra for ordering 2. Edit: after 3 months, of almost daily use, they are still still going strong. Easy to use, easy to clean. Sill 5 stars.
