If you’re looking for a pour over brewer that you can take with you on camping trips or other travels this summer, look no further than the Frieling Coffee-for-One. This single cup brewer is small in size and made mostly from plastic, making it lightweight, not easily breakable and very portable. Likewise, since the Coffee-for-One features a 23-carat gold-platted filter, you won’t have to worry about packing (or packing out) paper filters. After all, there’s nothing better than enjoying the great outdoors while reducing your ecological footprint at the same time. The other benefit of having a gold filter is that it enables the brewer to produce a cup of coffee that is similar in flavor to a cup produced on a coffee maker. Of course, we wanted to see the Frieling Coffee-for-One in action. As such, we conducted a two-part test to see how easy the brewer is to use and what kind of flavor it produced. The Coffee-for-One passed the first part of the test with flying colors. To brew with this pour over, all you have to do is load coffee into the filter, place the water infuser on top and pour in hot water. You don’t even need to worry about getting all of your grounds wet, since the infuser has a shower head-like water distributor that will do the job for you. When it comes to creating the flavor you desire, you may have to do a bit of experimenting. The instructions suggest using one heaping scoop of coffee when brewing a cup, but we found that this measurement produced a pretty light cup of coffee. Thus, if you are a daily coffee drinker who likes a strong coffee, we recommend using either two or three scoops when crafting your brew. Everyone’s tastes are different though, so it is a good idea to play around with the grind, amount of coffee and volume of water to find out what tastes best to you. Not sure where to start? Watch Dori and Chris try out a few different grinds on the Frieling Coffee-for-One in the video below. You can even compare tasting notes and see if you get the same results.
