The Melitta 64008R single cup coffee filter cone is not glamorous but it is the easiest, cleanest and most economical way we know to brew a phenomenal cup of coffee at home. All you need to do is set this cone on top of your favorite mug, drop in a paper filter of freshly ground coffee and pour boiling water through the cone. When the cup is brewed, just dispose of the grounds and pop this cone into the dishwasher. Fast, easy, clean, delicious! Melitta coffee is rich and flavorful, with a surprising depth and smoothness. A delight for everyone’s tastebuds. Keep five or six of these in the cupboard and when company comes, impress them by brewing everyone their own, fresh cup made to order! Dishwasher safe more info

I have been using one of these filter cones for a couple years at home and work. I recently bought a few extras and now take one with me (and my favorite brand of coffee) when I travel – it’s a great upgrade from hotel coffee. I use the Melitta #2 unbleached filters and get excellent coffee. You just put ground coffee (drip grind) in the filter, add hot water (appx 195 to 205 degrees F), and in a minute you have a perfect cup of coffee. I’ve used a number of different methods and gizmos over the years, until I started using this, my favorite was the French Press method.
This is quicker, simpler, easier to clean, and you can take it with you. The coffee tastes great, clean, full, no off tastes. You can of course vary the strength (both the caffeine and flavor) by adding more or less coffee to the filter, and varying the temperature of the water. I find I get the best taste when I bring the water to a full boil then let it sit about a minute. When you’re done you toss the used filter with grounds into the garbage, and you’re done. This is great if you and your spouse/kid/partner, etc drink different kinds of coffee or one likes decaf and another likes regular. And you make just one cup at a time so you’re not brewing a whole 12 cup tank when you really only want a cup. I also like to use this with a 16 oz. travel cup which is 6 oz. larger than my normal cup. I simply add a bit more coffee – a bit more water, and presto! I have exactly the right amount of coffee to hop in the car and off to work or whatever.
You can spend a ton of money for a high tech coffee maker, but you won’t get better coffee.

perfect brew for single cups

I got two of these plastic coffee brewers cup, one for the office and one for home. I usually brew a whole pot of coffee in the mornings, but sometimes later at work, or in the afternoons and evenings at home, when I know I won’t finish a whole pot or there’s nobody to share with, I brew a single cup with this cup. Along with the filter cone filters, and a coffee grinder, this is a very quick method to have a freshly brewed single cup of coffee at any time without having to brew a whole pot of coffee. I have also traveled with it! very handy too in small hotels that provide hot water. If you are an avid coffee drinker, surely will get a lot of use from it.

Very convenient

Comes with a few #2 filters, which is nice. Fast to clean, and you never have to worry about breaking ANOTHER glass coffee pot. Other reviewers are right, though, about needing to experiment with how much coffee to use and how hot the water is. My first cup was weak and bitter, but I’ve perfected it after a few tries.

If you like your coffee hot, buy something else because this drip cone has two large holes on the side, so while your coffee is dripping, all of the heat goes out the holes. There is another brand with a European name, something like Europa, which is much better. It also has 3 holes instead of one, so it drips faster and stays hotter.

This is so great if you just drink one or two cups of coffee in the morning. The coffee is so much better than using a coffeemaker and cleanup is a breeze.

This product is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The industrial strength coffee maker at work isn’t used properly so I prefer to brew a fresh cup. Not a fan of the french press and graininess so tried this as an alternative. Works great! The strength of the coffee will depend on how much you put in the filter, so it will take some tries to get used it it. Awesome product!
