filterless pour over coffee maker

Pour Over coffee is the preferred method of those who like to do things old school, by hand and are not overly concerned about the lack of cacao oils that make it into their cup of coffee. Some may prefer the showmanship of coffee houses that use the pour over technique and want to show off for their friends or loved ones at home. Whatever your reason to drink coffee, it’s a good one in our books!

While pour over coffee makers generally use paper filters there are new offerings that either have built in filters or reusable filters. This offers a more economical and environmentally friendly option compared to paper filters. We argue that the built in filters provide a more consistent flavor as the pores of the filter are more consistent in size compared to paper.

Here are our picks for the Top 5 Best Filterless/Paperless Pour Over Coffee Makers

1. Cafellissimo Paperless Pour Over Coffee Maker
