Cafellissimo Pros:
--Simply makes great coffee (of course, the right coffee bean is always key).
--No paper filter required.
--Made of stainless steel, not plastic; important if you think hot water and plastic are a poor match.
--Perfect for a quick, single cup of coffee.
--Compact, convenient, perfect for travel.
Cafellissimo Cons:
--More expensive than other pour over coffee drippers.
--The double-walled mesh filter must be cleaned well after each use.
--Not the best option if making more than 1 cup of coffee at a time.
If you already have a better travel coffee system, feel free to comment on the video and let me know. I really enjoy my French Press coffee, but a French press does not travel very well. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
To fix unclogging is super easy and works much better than you think. Put it on the stove on high. It sounds weird, but I'm apparently it's the oils that get caught in the filter, and fire will completely unclog it. It will add a cool discoloration effect too. If you are uncomfortable with setting fire to your filter, put it in the dishwasher on high heat. It works good too, but burning off the oils with high heat makes them flow like new again
I like your casual talk style. Thank you for always uploading videos.
that's kind of you to say!--thanks ...next time CG tells me I'm annoying her I'll just tell her she doesn't appreciate my "casual talk style"
You guys make my days better. Thank you!
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. I do pour over but just use a sieve and a piece of unbleached muslin.
I love filters but finding a good one is pretty difficult. Thank you for doing these product reviews besides the usual awesome recipes, Chef Buck. Your humor makes any video fun to watch 😀👍 Have a great weekend! Stay safe and take care
I don't buy a lot of gadgets since I usually use whatever is around, but this filter has turned out to be a pretty good buy for me. I bought a new hand blender a few weeks ago online which felt weird since I don't buy a lot of new stuff...I'm so used to going to thrift stores and hunting around for bargains, it's just fun to do, I think...but with social distancing, I've been buying more stuff online and restricting my shopping to only infrequent trips to the grocery store...we're planning some short trips around Florida, though, just for a change of scenery and to give my mother-in law a break from having to look at our faces every time she turns around. You take care as well!
@@ChefBuckRecipes Same here. Not a fan of online shopping but I do think that there are some good sales online as well. A Florida trip would be refreshing! I hope you have a great time there. Stay safe and take care!!
👌 ordered! 🌞 Nice 👍 demo and love not needing filters!
we appreciate it...thanks for checking the vid out!
That’s how I make my coffee every morning, very good.
Looks really cool for travel. I am ocd with the clean up too but I would definitely use a filter as double insurance 💕
if we're staying somewhere with filters, I use them, but since I don't have to have the filters, it's one less thing to pack in my mobile kitchen box
Since Aug '21 I have been using the Shengshi Pour Over Coffee Dripper - Manual Reusable Stainless Steel Cone Filter, 1-2 Cup Paperless Single Drip Brew Coffee Strainer with Double Mesh Liner Silver. Virtually the same design as the Cafellisimo Filter. $11.99. Watching various TH-cam videos regarding the use of paperless cone filters I have learned to customize my coffee.
I measure out 16 grams of McCafe Premium Roast Medium for a 2 Cup mug, bring the water to boiling in an Anchor Hocking microwaveable 2 Cup Measuring Cup, transfer the boiling water to a Hoafy Coffee Pot, 350 ml Stainless Steel Drip Coffee Pot Long Gooseneck Coffee Drip Kettle and pour over the grounds in a slow circular motion. A total eight minute cup of coffee.
The work of cleaning out the spent grounds and subsequent washing pale next to the cost and trial and error of paper cones. I have successfully transitioned from buying 12 oz lattes at $3.50 to $4.50, plus tip, to $12.00 for 1 lb, 14 oz of ground coffee every five weeks.
Just ordered mine Thanks
thanks for watching!
I have one of those and love it. I'm still trying to figure out if I like using the filter or now and I do like being able to use the filter to more easily put my grounds in my worm compost bin. The wigglers like the paper too.
I have one (European coffee maker) but I have use a filter every time, I live by myself so it's very handy.
Love your shows Chef Buck 👀
I find this filter is perfect for my morning coffee, but if CG wants a cup of coffee, too, then it's not ideal. You ever use a moka pot? I really like those, and a filter isn't required, but a stovetop burner is, so it doesn't always work for traveling
@@ChefBuckRecipes no but I may check it out. Thanks!
That looks like a great option for a good cup of joe in the morning.
it's best for 1 cup at a time, and since CG has been drinking cold brew lately, there's no conflict (at least, not coffee-wise)
i clean mine right away too but it slowed down after just a few uses. i loved it when i first got it but hated it just a few days later.. i started using a tooth brush to see if that would help but it only does just a tad bit..
Hi Chef Buck, which coffee filter can I use for Peets organic French blend. The natural paper filters would not work. The ground coffee from grocery store gets clogged up on the paper filter. Need help! Thanks Larry
Hey Buck, I must have missed this one. If it ever plugs up I bet you could put it in an ultrasonic cleaner.
my nickname around the house is "ultrasonic cleaner", also "ultrasonic mess maker", which makes sense
Do you notice any appreciable difference in flavor/quality/etc. using with a paper filter vs without? They should make a larger volume version called the Cafellississimo. :-)
I don't notice a difference...sometimes I'll use the cafellissimo on a thermos and make multiple cups of coffee in one pour, but it's more time consuming and the coffee cools and needs to be reheated...lately CG has been having her own cold brew coffee in the mornings while I drink a hot cup of coffee...I find the filter ideal for 1 cup at a time
Do you find that the coffee stays hot enough? I have a pour over system, too, and the coffee is just lukewarm after the LONG journey to my cup.
You definitely have to start with the water hot hot hot...I usually bring water to a boil and then give it one minute to cool before pouring it over my coffee...I generally pour a 12oz cup which takes about 2 minutes, so it's plenty hot for me, and I add cream as well, partly to cool the coffee down for drinking, so I might be a sissy...but overall I'd say the pour over method probably isn't ideal for a "steaming hot" cup of coffee
You Need a Dutch Techniform Coffee Maker which has a Copper Boiler as opposed to a Aluminum .I had one years back , the coffee comes out (Hot ,Hot)into a Thermoslike Container if I remember Correctly...
Susan - try preheating the cup before starting the pour over.
I wonder if you use a soft bristle toothbrush to clean it would help with that staining at the top?
I never pour the filter full to the top, so the discoloration must be from just being on its side after I wash it...it doesn't have any impact on the filter, it's really just the only noticeable difference from when I first took it out of its box
to clean the stained rim , put hot water in a sauce pan , add "Urnex Cafiza Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder" to teh water , put the cone in the mixture. If the filter gets clogged put the cone in the pan right side up and pour the mixture in the cone, repeat till flowing
I've had mine for a while but find it blocks a lot and I clean it straight away throutoughly. I grind myself which I'm thinking me be the problem because its either too course or too fine...what do you think Chef?
Thanks for your uploads, really enjoy them.
⭐⭐⭐
the grind definitely makes a difference--too fine a grind and it packs like mud and drips much slower, too course a grind and it drips too fast and doesn't impart enough flavor...coffee grinds run between the extremes of extra course and extra fine, and the ideal recommended grind for a pour over coffee is between medium and fine
Thanks Chef. ☀️🌺☀️
@@ChefBuckRecipes That's why I bought a teapot with a mesh strainer instead. I am new to ground coffee and searching for ways to brew my coffee. I realized teapot is the easiest to use and clean.
Hi Chef... maybe the discoloration is just from the oils in the coffee grounds. Have you considered soaking it in a vinegar and water solution... kind of along the lines of running vinegar water through a automatic drip coffee maker. Just a thought. I've never had pour over coffee. Looks good!
I've never cleaned the filter with vinegar, and it still works fine for me...I do use a soapy sponge, and it's usually pretty soapy, which might not be what the manufacturer recommends, but I wash the filter in a timely fashion and rinse it well and it's holding up just fine, so I'll keep to my routine...I don't mind the discoloration around the top, but I mention it because it's the only noticeable change from when the filter was brand new...when I was researching the filter, I noticed that some folks with clogging issues had suggested a vinegar rinse, and wherever I've worked in a restaurants, there is always a regular schedule of coffee machine and coffee pot cleaning with vinegar.
The vinegar might make the filter rusty!
Have you tried instant coffee? I'm from England but living in Chicago for 20 years now, and I can't believe the bad rap instant coffee gets. I guess it's from back in the day when coffee was dehydrated using heat, but now it's done using freeze dried method. Also a big mistake Americans make is heating water in microwave, and for some reason this makes terrible coffee and tea. I think instant coffee is the perfect travel tool - only downside is you need a way to get boiling water - we use a small travel kettle. I'd recommend Nescafe Tasters Choice French Roast to try. A heaped spoonful in boiling water and you go from there. I'd love to hear what you think! Love your vids btw :)
I like the ritual of coffee, and the taste, but what's more subjective than taste? One of the best cups off coffee I ever had in my life was a hot mug of Folgers Instant. I was backpacking through town and an old fella invited me onto his porch for a cup of coffee and I'll never forget how good it tasted, and that was decades ago. When CG and I backpacked on the Appalachian trail, we often carried instant coffee. I find instant coffee to be quite serviceable, and I don't turn my nose up if it's my best option. I bought instant coffee during our recent travels in Mexico--although I mostly didn't love it--but that can happen with any kind of coffee, it's all so subjective. But I prefer fresh ground coffee. And freshly brewed is worth the effort I think.
@@ChefBuckRecipes Very true of course, taste is subjective! On reflection, I think the instant coffee thing may be due to trying to make it with microwaved water, which somehow ruins the coffee/tea. Maybe it doesn't get hot enough? I don't know. And some instants I don't like too much either. Very one dimensional and I suspect made with cheaper beans or something. So I amend my opinion to say that SOME instants are wonderful :) But I do wish Americans would give it more of a chance. I personally love the convenience of instant.
Full View. Another way to brew coffee. I never used anything like it. Sounds like it would be tasty. Liked 123. 💗💗💗💗💗
it doesn't get any simpler...it's ideal for travel
I'm so on the ball that I only drink instant coffee! Instant .. On the ball ..LET'S GO !!!!!!😂😂😂
Do you notice any coffee grounds in your cup? I love coffee, but I have to filter it several times, because the grounds that get through make me really sick.
if its coffee fines need to use courser coffee grinds or let it sit 10 mins for it to settle out some
Residue is a byproduct. I do not use a chemically treated or even organic brown paper filter, I simply to not drink to the last drop.
I have had one daily for the past full year. I have tried Vinegar to declog it and that never really worked so I would soak in and isopropyl alcohol overnight every six months and that works very well
I still use mine daily.
My Grindr had also lasted the full year. I think I may be due to replace it but the price is almost as much as the grinder
🤔😍
Rinse it thoroughly before the grounds dry out. Use a clean, worn soft bristle toothbrush for a gentle soapy scrub. QC your thoroughness by shining an LED flashlight into the cone to spot blackouts.
... and this is "better/easier" than paper filters?
it's definitely not easier than paper filters, since you can simply toss a used paper filter or bury them in the compost--and I'll use a paper filter in my cafellissimo if there's one around, but a paper filter does have to go in something---a fancy pour over device, maybe a simple funnel, maybe an automatic drip coffee maker....but a paperless pour over filter can be used all on its own, so it's pretty ideal for travel
I got a French press, stovetop espresso maker, and regular coffee pot! I need one of those now. lol.
sounds like you got it covered!...I enjoy my coffee at home, but I miss going out to coffee shops (but when I get sad about it, I just think of all the money I haven't spent at coffee shops)
I've been using a plastic Melitta Cone pour-over thingie for years and it works fine. I use the cheapest store-brand paper filters, just fitting a standard 1-4 cup basket type into the cone, instead of paying more for the cone-shaped ones. The Melitta Cone is inexpensive. I paid less than $5 for it 7 years ago and it hasn't gone up much in price. $5 - $7 or so depending on where you buy it. It makes a decent cup of coffee, depending on the coffee brand, roast strength, and grind size. I rinse it after each use, and give it a good thorough scrub every few months. I, too am baffled by those little Keurig cups, seeing them as just another source of plastic waste. The paper filters are biodegradable and made from a renewable material. Now get off my lawn, you lousy brats!
haha!--kids and their Keurigs!--with the rock and roll and the long hair! When we lived in Seattle I mostly made coffee with a French Press--cause it tastes great and it's easy to make 2 cups of coffee at the same time--but for those times when CG didn't want a hot coffee, I'd just make a single pour over for myself using a plain funnel and a paper filter--and that worked great
Why not just use a funnel and a filter?
you can...I used a funnel and filter for pour over coffee when we lived in Seattle...I think that works fine, but then you do need to have paper filters always on hand...I bought this paperless filter for traveling
Hey Buck! I like to use a filter paper because I really love a clean cup of coffee no sludge. You should try Colombian beans from huila region the best . Take care man !
thanks for the suggestion!
For years I used a French press, I got tired of all those grounds. Now, I drink instant. WHAT? That’s right. I was reading that many instant coffees have ground figs, Carmel, and malts, I am fine with those flavors.
instant coffee can be tasty--it's all perspective!...and I love a French Press, but that thin glass doesn't travel well, so I haven't had one of my own since we left Seattle...I'll get a French Press again once we settle down, if we settle down :^)
Chef Buck I found an aluminum one at a camping store, works great, also A few years back Starbucks had a metal French Press that was double walled to keep warm and prevent burns. It was 40$. I bought the one at the camp store on sale for 29$. They travel very well.
is that a geneva coffee label taped onto a different coffee tin? haha
yeah...we just pour whatever we're using in the can...I make a mess with those bags (I blame myself, not the bags)
@@ChefBuckRecipes I feel ya. I once treated myself to fancy coffee roasted locally, and I couldn't even figure out how to open the bag.
I Like a Cowboy Coffee , None of these Hoidi Doidi $500.00 S.Steel Fancy Pancy Gizmos ,I Suppose you use tea cozys Too :>[
Had mine for a short time and it doesn't work anymore. Clogged for good. Total waste of money. Lucky I don't drink coffee everyday.
You can burn it off when it's clogged.
That’s a lot work might as well use traditional coffee machine
French Press i like better
I miss my French press...that was my go to for home coffee in Seattle. I'm sure I'll get another French press one of these days when we settle down again, but I'm way too clumsy to travel with one
I'm just tired of buying more filters.
Microwaved water?! 😂
The popularity of the ‘k’ cup machine has caused the downfall of America...
I really don't get the k cup craze
Chef Buck bottom line -it’s just bad coffee.
Microwaved water? Yuk!
