Great for camping
This pour over is great for camping and other activities where less stuff is important. No paper filter required due to the built in metal mesh which works fairly well at straining the coffee grounds. 4 stars for this reason: there will be a few grounds in the bottom of the cup. I don't mind because you can easily pour out the last little bit of coffee to avoid the small amount of grit. In my limited experience with metal coffee filters, this one is the best by a significant amount. The item is super easy to clean, the middle metal filter insert unscrews and can be rinsed easily. Both parts are dishwasher safe so cleaning when you arrive back home is a breeze. The metal construction, like other Stanley items, seems very durable. I am a fan of the coating because it cleans well, looks nice, and protects the item. The item does take up space, it is wider than a normal mug size (excluding mug handle) so if that is a concern, keep that in mind. The weight of the item is also significant due to the heavy duty construction so I wouldn't recommend for backpacking. Only 4 things required for a great cup of coffee: this pour over, coffee grounds, boiling water, and a mug (Stanley mug works excellent)!
