This brewer is great, you can allow your coffee to brew and deepen in flavor for a few minutes before you set it on your cup to release the brew. I even usually double brew for strong coffee. It makes 2 normal (8 oz.) mugs of brewed coffee or tea if you fill It to the top. The filter is secure but pops out easily for cleaning. It’s sturdy and has a nice saucer to set the brewer down on while it brews so you don’t get drips on your counter. No buying filters, and the only waste is the compostable grounds, Eco-friendly. The only downside is it takes a little more time time than electric machines, but the flavor is adjustable and worth it for me. It would take a while to brew for more than 2 people.
