Cone Filter Coffeemaker

Product Description

6 cup coffeemaker Easy to follow instructions Includes: Glass carafe with a keep warm lid - Filter cone - Measuring scoop - Melitta #4 filter paper - "Coffee Perfection" booklet - Uses #4 cone filters

This Melitta coffeemaker does exactly what it's designed and advertised to do. However, after it arrived and I've had a chance to use it a couple of times, I've realized my regular coffeemaker is faster and more convenient. I bought the Melitta to use when I wanted just a cup or two. I thought it would be quicker and less clean up than using my regular drip coffee maker but that's not the case.
With the Melitta you have to heat the water in a separate container and stand there while you pour the heated water in the cone as it brews. With my regular coffeemaker I just pour the water in using the carafe and turn it on. I also think it taste better from the regular drip coffee maker.
Still it's a good buy for the price and I think it's good to have around as a spare coffeemaker.



I don't drink coffee, but my husband does. I make his coffee one cup at a time, using a plastic cone and permanent filter placed directly over his coffee cup. However, I needed a larger coffee maker to use when we have visitors so I would not have to make one cup at a time. We never have too many guests, and I prefer brewing coffee (and tea, for me) manually, so I was happy to find this coffee maker. It's just what I was looking for. As for clean-up, all parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. This product is made in Canada. The only negative is that it didn't come with a permanent filter. I purchased one separately, though, so all is well.

I almost bought the larger 10-cup model, but changed my mind when I discovered that it uses the harder-to-find #6 filters. Also, the smaller model doesn't take up too much storage room in my kitchen cabinet.

After reading some poor reviews from people who ordered this product from Ambient Weather, I ordered mine from Joe Muscle. The coffee maker arrived quickly; well packaged and undamaged.

Overall, I'd say this is a good product for the money. Yes, I could get a small electric coffee maker at Wally World for about $10, but this manual coffee maker will undoubtedly last a lot longer. Also, according to what I've been told, manual coffee makers make better-tasting coffee.

Final note: If used properly, this product is not a fire hazard. ROLLEYES Please read the use and care instructions that come with the coffee maker.


We bought this coffee maker after our old electric one died and another coffee maker (the Farberware 4-cup percolator) didn't work out. This Melitta is a nice, simple coffee pot that's fine if you don't mind boiling the water in advance and then drinking all the coffee at once. If you're like us, though, you won't really like having to take out your teapot to boil the water and may not want to drink all the coffee at once. If you have one cup and then go back for another, say, 15 minutes later, the second cup won't be hot--and you can't reheat it on your stove. So, though we liked the simplicity and foolproof nature of this coffee pot, we decided it wasn't really practical for us and returned it.


While this product might very well make excellent cofffee, we have yet to find out because it arrived to us with the plastic filter part smashed into bits. I of course contacted Ambient Weather, and politely described the situation, and they got back to me right away telling me that I should contact the distributor. I emailed them back to say I was hoping they would do that, since they have a relationship with the distributor, and they emailed me distributor info.

I was surprised they didn't feel any obligation to their customer to correct the situation, which would have entailed one simple phone call to the distributor, asking for a replacement part, especially since the product they represent, and profitted from my ordering, arrived unusable.

I will return this item to Ambient Weather, and don't plan on ordering from them again.


When you have the money and want a fancy manual drip maker, you can look at Chemex or Bodum. But, if you want good coffee at a good price, this is it. In our day coffee came in a 16 oz can and we drank whatever was cheapest. Now kids know the difference between Robusta and Arabica and go to a local roaster on the day their regional favorite is being roasted. Fancy Auto-Drip machines don't heat the water hot enough, build up calcium, and don't immerse all the grind correctly. French pots let silt and bitter elements of the coffee through. This method takes some time and effort, but if you like good coffee, its worth it. This coffee maker goes for about the price as a bag of good coffee.
