The asobu {sic] insulated Pour Over Coffee Maker 32 oz Double-Wall Stainless Steel Filter and Take-on-the-Go Carafe is one heck of a great and great looking pour-over coffee maker. Although it comes in four colors—stainless steel (silver), burgundy, matte black and copper and now a fifth in asobu wood, I preferred the silver. I thought I was getting too much matte black in our kitchen.Compared to other pour-over coffee makers, this one is very large—32 ozs. If you make coffee per asobu’s instructions it takes 66 gms of coffee and 1000 gms. of filtered water. I have a 1L gooseneck kettle which is larger than most kettles of this type so I had to cut down the amounts.The double-wall stainless steel filter works like a charm. I have used metal filters before usually as a flat or cone basket filter with ‘muddy’ results. However, this filter is extremely good. There was very little ‘mud’ in the bottom of the carafe which to me was a godsend. I do have bit of a pick with the stainless steel carafe. It is quite large; to wit, it’s very somewhat difficult to handle with just one hand. In fact, it’s impossible to do so unless you have a hand with fingers that will stretch to an 8 or more. An 8 equals the number of white keys on a pianoforte that one can reach—a full octave. Most women cannot stretch their fingers that far and as a result would have a hard time gripping the carafe by the bottom with four fingers and a thumb completely wrapped around the side. Thus, pouring from the carafe take two hands to prevent spillage.Another plus for this pour over is that it makes fantastic coffee. This is my first adventure into pour over coffee. I have used French presses, a vacuum pot (electric, not stovetop), several drip coffee makers like the one I am currently using, the Cup One by Moccamaster which produces really fantastic coffee. However, using the same Sumatra Gayo beans with the Cup One as I did with this asobu pour over I tasted a completely different coffee or had I been blindfolded I would have thought I was drinking coffee from a completely different coffee bean. The taste, flavor, texture and body of the coffee was so vastly different I could not believe that I was drinking the same coffee. It was so different but so very pleasing and good.Of course the definitive benefit of this asobu pour over compared to a Chemex, for example, is the double-wall stainless steel carafe. In my second run, the coffee stayed hot for four hours with a loss of only three degrees and that’s with removing the top to pour a new cup of coffee three times. The carafe really does a great job keeping the temperature of the coffee at a slow rate of decline.The end result is a pour over system that is aesthetically beautiful, one that holds 32 ounces of coffee and keeps it hot for at least four hours losing only three degrees Fahrenheit (3° F), beautifully packaged, and all for a very reasonable price. The adage, ‘You get what you pay for’ certainly applies here.I can easily highly recommend the asobu pour over coffee system.
