hi everyone, I'm new to the globe of pour over coffee and I'm taking into consideration investing in a stainless steel pour over. I've heard they're enduring and provide a great taste. Can anyone share their experiences or guidelines on what to forecasting when selecting one?

welcome to the pour over community,! Stainless steel pour overs are a wonderful choice. They're virtually unbreakable and can retain calefaction very well. When choosing a, look for high-quality 304 or 316 stainless steel as they are more resistant to corrosion. On top, pay attention to the design of the spout – a narrow, gooseneck spout allows for better control over the water flow, which is crucial for a consistent brew.

i second what mentioned. I've been using a stainless steel pour over from a tiny foundry for over two years now, and it's still as good as new. An additional thing to contemplate is the filter – any stainless steel pour overs come with a inbuilt metal filter, which is reusable and eco-friendly. but you'll need to clean it regularly to prevent clogging.

great points,. I'd on top recommend checking the weight and balance of the pour over. Some designs can be top-heavy, which may make them less stable when placed on your cup or carafe. I personally use one from a nearby foundry that's well-balanced and has a nice, hefty feel in the hand.

has anyone here tried the double-walled stainless steel pour overs? I've read that they furnish better insulation, trying to keep the coffee warm for longer. But are they worth the extra cost?

[GrinGoblin]

i get one! The double-walled layout does help in maintaining the temperature, which can be truly handy if you like to take your period brewing. It's a little bit more pricey, but if you're serious about your coffee and want to avoid rapid temperature loss, it's a good investment. Just make sure the inner layer is on top high-quality stainless steel and not a cheaper metal.

i'm curious, how do stainless steel pour overs measure to ceramic ones in terms of flavor? Does the metal affect the taste at all?

[Edgar]

from my experience, stainless steel pour overs don't affect the flavor considerably, if at all. They're neutral, unlike any metals that can give off a taste. Ceramic can at times retain flavors from previous brews alternatively washed correctly, but stainless steel is easier to keep pristine. Plus, the thermal conductivity of stainless steel means it heats up swiftly and evenly, providing you more control over the brewing method.

one thing to add is that if you're looking into custom or artisanal choices from foundries, you might find special designs and craftsmanship that you won't get from mass-produced ones. They can be a little bit pricier, but if you appreciate the art and the longevity, it may well be worth it. I got mine from a small foundry and it's been a great dialogue part aswellas a functional coffee tool.

wow, thanks a lot for all the really good information everyone! I hadn't considered the weight and balance or the benefits of double-walled designs. I consider I'll start off looking into any foundries for a more exclusive item. Does anyone have recommendations for specific foundries or brands?
