We've been working with these single service porcelain pots for a couple of months now, figuring out the ideal methodology for this kind of pourover (type of filter, stir or not, dosing, temperature). We think we've landed on something repeatably consistent.
So now, in addition to press pots, you can order any of our single origin coffees in a pot brewed just for you. The coffee stays at drinking temperature longer and the Filtropa filter keeps out the sediment.
As the pourover method is "open", the water is exposed to ambient air for a longer period of time. While most of the flavor extraction is completed between 18 5º-195ºF, this method does result in a "cooler" cup.
If you enjoy the body of a press pot, by all means, keep enjoying it. But if you prefer a "cleaner" cup at an ideal drinking temperature range for optimum flavor (145º-160ºF), we suggest you try an Esmeralda or any of our other light or medium roast coffees in these porcelain pots.
Serving size is 12oz. Your pot is served with a 6oz cappuccino cup so you can fully enjoy your first cup while your second stays warm. Price will vary on the individual coffee. At the moment, only the Esmeralda is priced higher, however, new pricing to more accurately reflect the prices of each coffee will be coming shortly.
Please note, we will not brew French Roast in the pot as it is a different animal. French Roast is always available from our airpots.
I've been looking online for those sort of pots, but can only find them on SweetMaria's, without any manufacturing info. Who makes those?

beehouse?

Beehouse makes nice holders, but for what we're paying for these, it was a no brainer. They're just generic porcelain pots and filter holders from China. No bells or whistles. Function > form in this case.
