Fellow Stagg X Pour-Over Set

Well-made and feels sturdy. Makes a great clear cup. The tasting glass is very nice and satisfying to use.

I've been using this dripper for a few weeks and it's allowed me to brew outstanding cups. I originally bought the larger dripper, the XF, but it turned out to be too large for brewing just 15-20 grams of coffee, which is my usual dose. The X model, on the other hand, is perfect for those smaller doses with a 1:15 to 1:16 yield, as the tasting glass holds around 300 ml.
Pros:
- perfect for smaller doses;
- double walls on both the brewer and the tasting glass help with heat management by keeping the water temperature stable while brewing (the brewer needs to be pre-warmed thoroughly); they also keep the coffee warm for a long time;
- flat bottom produces a very sweet, balanced cup;
- stunning materials and looks.
Cons:
- not really necessary if you already have the XF (lol);
- Stag's filters tend to collapse, or at least loose their shape, when rinsing them; they're also expensive-ish and difficult to find, so I'm planning to try Kalita filters when I finish the pakage included with the brewer.

Take a V60 pouring routine and apply it to the Stagg X. Enjoy a sweeter cup, with reduced acidity, without losing too much clarity in the taste.

Enjoying this as a brewing alternative. Kalita 185 filters are a good stand-in.

I own a number of pour over brewing tools. I was looking for an option to take on the road when we stay in towns with limited to no decent coffee. Once you have had great coffee it’s hard to settle for less. This brewing option is awesome. So much so I plan on getting a second one so I can brew 2 pour overs at once. The glass decanter doubles as an amazing cup.

I already own a few things from Fellow and this set just adds to the collection. I love how the dripper fits perfectly on top of the carafe and on top of the kettle for pre-heating. First time trying the tasting glass and about to purchase more.
