STANLEYPerfect Brew Pour Over Set | 12 oz Camp Mug with Lid Included | Drip Coffee Maker with Reusable Filter | Insulated Stainless Steel | BPA-Free | Hammertone Green

Why did you pick this product vs others?:When I travel, I rarely find coffee that satisfies my palate, particularly in the meager offerings in hotel rooms. Since my brewing preference is the "pour-over" method, I bring sealed containers of freshly-ground beans from my kitchen. This Stanley brewing device with its integral stainless filter and 12-ounce cup produces a great cup of coffee, similar to what I enjoy at home. The only variables are water quality and temperature, but part of that quandary is solved by a collapsible electric boiler that I pack in my suitcase. The Stanley brewer is unbreakable, easily rinsed, and stowable-- and so far, has not created any delays at baggage check-ins.

Very beginner user friendly. Made my first batch today and still need to get my ratios right with the ground coffee to water, but that’s a personal preference. I would give this product a 4.5 star, only because there was a bit of ground coffee that was not able to be filtered, but I wasn’t surprised because I saw this in other reviews. Still an amazing cup of coffee and I am very happy with my purchase. I really like the green color and it matches my stroller lol

The quality expected from Stanley. Makes a good cup of coffee, running water to help rinse out the strainer is helpful. I would like an engineer genius to figure out how to make this identical item, but nested to store smaller and pack easier. Great for camping with facilities and storage spaces, but not as convenient for backpacking trips. The good cup of coffee in the morning gets it 5 stars, and I would take it backpacking, but I'm looking for something more convient to stuff in a backpack.

First off, this is not super compact like it possibly could be with a different setup. That being said, it is probably as compact as it can be while being metal and high-function. Stable on mostly flat surfaces, well-insulated cup and just enough lip on the top to avoid burning yourself from heat transfer.A suggestion: Don't be crazy about getting all the grounds out between pour-overs. Just knock some out or even leave them and be more patient with the next cup.Bag it up in a plastic bag or other sealed container and just use it over and over. Clean it when you get back from camping or before you set off for home. It performs well without a lot of high maintenance and is solidly built.Spend your extra on this and get the nicer plastic cups from somewhere like GSI, which hold hot liquids and handles that don't transfer heat. Pour-over into the cup that comes with this, then transfer it to the other cups for fellow campers.

Best way to make coffee! Really brings out the flavor of the coffee.

Pros-it’s fun to use and the brew is tasty. Fairly easy to make a cup in a few minutes. Looks great on any counter was one of the appeals that drew me in. Good size for a limited space/storage situation with the 2 piece design. Use the built in filter or paper filter - even at home the paper filter is best solution for me.Cons-2 piece setup doesn’t attach, do don’t knock the top over! No issues so far just fyi. Again, the included metal filter works fine, but in a camper (limited water) to rinse and clean after each brew (will not let any grinds go down the RV sink) I immediately bought a large pack of cheap paper filters and they work great- zero mess but does add to the waste can. And a biggie here. I love the mug but the base is too big for for a couple of my vehicle’s so have hold onto it. I use hot just boiled water but the brew isn’t that hot when finished? Which actually I use the lowest heat setting on the Kureig anyway but this is only sort of warm??Last con-uses more coffee per brew vs. my reusable k-cup. Toting a lot of coffee for the Stanley is a consideration when packing for travel in a small space. So—I’ll keep it for the house- it’s cool and fun to use at home with a good tasting brew. (I use retail Maxwell or Folgers medium ground) it’s economical and good enough coffee for me!However, I’ll buy a slim Kureig’s for the Sprinter so I can reuse my old refillable k-cup and have the handy attached water tank as well.
