New updated content at CoffeeGeek: our updated Snapshot Review of the #Hario Mugen Dripper. At under $15 (and currently $10 USD) it's a must buy if you're into pour over coffee (and especially want to experiment with no-bypass brewing).
So I thought the #Cuptimo was a bit of a joke, really. I mean a blood pressure style pump, attached to a pourover #coffee maker?
While it is a bit "hacky", it actually works really, really well. One of the things I dislike about #nobypass coffee brewing is the dwell / draw time. Some devices take up to 10 minutes.
This creates a vacuum in the vessel below, when you choose to create that vacuum. Said vacuum completes the brew quickly.
We are also testing the #CeadoHoop#nobypass, passive radial #coffee brewer; it can be incredibly easy (15g coffee, pour 250g in the outer ring, walk away, come back in 6 minutes to brewed coffee).
It can also be frustrating: if you stir to fully saturate the bloom, the draw down is a lot longer. And if you use 20g or more, it might even stall.
