Just got my Kitchen Aid pour over coffee cone infuser 2 weeks ago. Have been using it regularly. Overall, it is a great item. Replaces a seriously inelegant, ugly plastic cone that had no aesthetic or style. Function: works fine. Allows coffee to infuse at an optimal rate. The ceramic is durable and, because it functions as a bit of a heat sink, it insures that coffee will be closer to the optimum temperature of 195 degrees rather than a destroying 212 degree temperature. Best for brewing one or two larger cups of coffee. Looks very good and complements better quality tableware.
Great cup of Coffee

Overall, great cup of coffee produced with light body and Great flavor that is not over brewed or bitter. I will lest the pros and cons that my wife and I have after the first 2 weeks of use: Pros: 1) very quick brew time with an organic compostable #4 filter (approximately 30 seconds to complete after addition of hot water 2) Produces coffee with a light body, kind of like tea, that highlights the flavor notes of the beans you are using without over brewing 3) Ceramic construction! I have a ceramic french press that I use daily as well, and coffee just tastes better out of ceramic to me. The ceramic is very heavy and durable as well 4) Easy to clean, pull filter, soap and rinse. Cons: 1) Need to have a supply of filters (although I am not sure how well a metal re-useable filter would work) 2) Starting price point of $39.99 is a little on the higher end after comparing similar pour over cones 3) No Measuring increments on the unit, if filling an individual cup (which can easily be modified by filling the cup you are using with water and pouring into an empty kettle) Overall, I found the cons to be minor in general, and when my wife (who is a much harsher critic than me) consistently says how good the coffee is, it is definitely doing something right.

Simple with sterling results. Then cleanup is a snap as storage and preparation for the next go around of fresh pour-over coffee.
Pour Over Cone Review

The KitchenAid 4 cup pour over cone is not a new innovation or concept. However what it does do well is offer anyone the opportunity to make a cup of coffee with a time tested and proven method. It's hefty and appears to be made of a quality ceramic material. The paint/coating is also very durable. This was my first attempt at personally making a pour over style cup of coffee. With that being said, I feel like the included instructions were severely lacking. A couple of details that would have been helpful would be the proper temperature to brew the coffee at and how much grounds to use per amount of water. This can easily be overlooked if you're in a rush. After some research, I found the recommended temperature to be 200°F and 55g of coffee per liter of water. For the first cup of coffee I made with it, I used a medium grind. I also poured the heated water slowly through the pour over cone to maximize the contact time. This definitely requires some patience. In the end the final cup produced was phenomenal. I can't believe I have waited this long to make a pour over brew. I was offered this pour over cone as a promotion, but I do feel that the advertised price is a bit high for what you get. However, if you have the patience and desire to make pour over coffee then I think this can justify the price. It proves to make some of the most flavorful coffee I have ever made and I expect it to last through the years.
Quality Item

This is a heavy duty pour over. Great quality for sure. I accidentally dropped it in my sink and it didn't even chip. I can see this lasting a long time. I love that the bottom is wide open instead of having holes, that and heavily ribbed walls lets the coffee flow at the right speed, great feature and makes great coffee. So even though this thing may last longer than me, $40 for a pour over just seems like too much to pay even if you can afford it. Other than the price, 5 stars all the way. I did receive this item as a promotion and i'm glad i did, i use it every morning now and my Hario is getting dusty.
