WACACOPipamoka Portable Coffee Maker, Coffee brewer, All-in-one Vacuum Pressured，Insulated Travel Mug, Hand Powered and Filter Pressure Brewer, Stainless Steel Thermo Cup, 10 fl oz

I loved this product. So easy to use and quick to set up. You do need to ensure that you keep turning the press portion to ensure that all the water has filtered through the coffee before you can remove it. If you try and remove it too soon, one it will become difficult and if you force it, you might have an accidental spill.My coffee tasted great with no extra granules inside. The cup is a great added bonus that kept my coffee hot for at least thirty minutes, great value for money and so easy to clean. I just run it under a running tap, very portable too for travel.

I just lived through a 4 day power outage....without this coffee maker...not sure how I would have survived....I LOVE my coffee!!! I took the Keurig K cups and opened them...put the coffee in the special filter and YUM....what a great cup of coffee. Easy to use and clean....Just ordered a second for my cabin as it loses power a lot....If you can boil water...you can make a great cup of coffee....They have instructions for cold press coffee as well.......I also order the extra filters and case......so worth it!

I love travel gadgets and this is one of them. I've made about 9 cups since I received it and all have been equal. The screw on lid keeps it hot and safe from spills and keeps your coffee hot for quite a while. You can get a hand and forearm work out using this, but it's worth it. I find holding the cup and turning the orange ring started causing a sore spot on the side of my index finger. I find holding the ring steady and turning the cup counterclockwise has resolved that issue. Older people or people with soft hands, like office workers, may find this info handy. I do have to stop maybe twice during the process because it gets a little tough to turn. You will know when your getting close to completing the process when you start to hear a squeaking noise from the from plunger gasket in the cup and then when done, the orange turning ring turns easily. At this point gently pull the threaded tube to the side and the seal breaks. Easy cleanup after that. I use this travel cup at work and it's really handy if you have access to hot water. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great flavor, despite the perforated metal filter (which was an initial concern). No residual coffee grounds in the cup (about 800 micrometer grind size on the Kruve Brewler which corresponds to a 2.67 setting on the Fellow Ode 2 Flat Burr Grinder that I use for my Pour Over). All in all, slightly more bitter than the Pour Over method, all other variables being relatively the same. This is to be expected without the paper filter present. Much 'cleaner' taste when compared to a French Press. Excellent addition to my collection, especially for travel (well done WACACO)!Main Gripes:1. The funnel isn't much of a funnel. It's an extension, and is a waste of space.2. There's nowhere to rest the extraction assembly after brewing. This makes a mess as residual water and coffee inevitably drips everywhere. Not a big deal if you're at home, but just an inconvenience when you're traveling.3. To solve Good Point #1 and Good Point #2, I'd like to see the replacement of the "funnel" with a dosing cup that doubles as a perch (drip container) for the extractor assembly (thank the folks at Fellow for implementing this idea already). Better yet, the dosing cup could include a removable cap that would allow for storage of pre-ground coffee for when you're trying to travel light. That way you could pre-fill the perforated filter basket with one load of coffee, and the 'dosing cup' with another charge. All of this would already pack nicely into the mug itself. The flexibility for users to determine how they want to use it would be nice.Those are my main gripes, but otherwise it's a pretty solid travel solution. Now, for a few minor gripes.Minor Gripes:4. I don't care for the plastic scoop it comes with (coffee grounds statically stick to it), but it's there and it's lightweight. It won't make a bunch of noise like a metal scoop would if you pack it into the mug. I personally pre-measure and pre-grind my coffee when I'm traveling and put each charge in it's own little storage puck. I may try to find some on Amazon that will pack inside this thing.5. I misunderstood the Amazon description when it said it has a 10oz capacity. If you brew by the rules, it'll actually make an 8oz cup. Much smaller than my standard U.S. 12 oz cup that I'm used to. This will vary based on your country, but I'd be willing to do a few more twist-n-shouts for that extra 4 oz of morning goodness. Maybe there's a little wiggle room here (please have an exploitable safety factor, pleaseeee), to be determined...6. And finally, yes, they sell a true drinking lid (separately) for when you're on-the-go or in the car. I can understand why it wasn't included (if you're just sitting around the campfire). But, having that additional lid increases it's versatility (at the cost of 10 U.S. doll hairs). Mine will arrive in the next couple of days. If it's a total flop, I'll update this post. If not, assume it's decent lol.

Dropping the coffee puck into the cup and watching it sink is so satisfying. A big part of enjoying coffee is making it and this gizmo is going to be great for camping. The extraction is similar to an aeropress where water is sucked over the coffee grounds. It makes a great cup! The coffee stays hot for hours when using the lid. I have several Wacaco products and they are all awesome.

Let me just say right off the bat that I don’t drink coffee. However, I really, really enjoy making coffee for my significant other (I still taste test). For the home we have a Chemex, but needed something that would work well for camping (the single pour over baggies and the French press just weren’t working). We don’t need to look any further. This thing is amazing!!! The coffee is consistently delicious and easy to make if you follow the simple steps (which only take tops 2 times to remember). Aside from making a perfectly extracted cup of coffee, keeping said coffee warm on a cold camping morning and being able to grab the cup and go for a hike is just awesome. We looked at the AeroPress, but what sold us was the heat retention of the cup and how compact the entire contraption was, no need for anything additional cups. I have seen a couple of reviews where folks had trouble turning it. This has only happened to me once (and even then my 8 y/o could still turn it) and I think it has to do with the way the pod is situated. Just make sure ALL the bubbles are out before starting the extraction. Don’t hesitate. I promise you won’t be disappointed!!! p.s. For the manufacturer reading this... the only thing that would make this even better than perfect would be a lid that has a sippy opening.
