GLOWBEANS The Gabi Drip Master B

Loved so much I bought another for work

While expensive for what it does, the Drip Master B works very well. I am using it with the ceramic Kalita Wave 185. Makes it easy to get reproducible pour over coffee brews. Note that when I received the second Drip Master (gave the first to my brother) I initially had problems with the unit only draining at 0.5 grams per second. This led to a pour over that took six minutes rather than 3.5 minutes and the coffee was over extracted. The first one I bought was about right at 1.5 grams per second. For the slow draining Drip Master, I ran a lot of water through it, washed it with a lot of dishwashing soap, then thoroughly rinsed it. After that it is draining at 2 grams per second, which I understand is the proper drain rate.

What a wonderful device. Have been using it for a month and couldn’t be happier. No more clogging for me!

Consistently mellow taste, very decent compared to the effort required

I have had this drip assist device by Gabi for almost 2 months. I have researched several recipes, watched youtube videos on how to best use this device.

Since using this device with my V60, Origami and Kalita wave I have had excellent cups of coffee. The clarity that is a result of the even extraction acts as a great fail safe for doing a fast flow rate.

Most people will wonder should you get this over the melodrip? To be honest I personally believe its up to user preference. The Gabi dripper must sit on top of the device and if not using it from the first pour you would need to tare your scale and continue.

The Melo drip on the other hand requires you to use one hand on the kettle and one on the handle of the Melo drip. So it depends on your comfortability. Another plus to the Melo drip is it can get closer to the coffee bed unlike the Gabi.

At the end of the day I prefer the Gabi as it allows me to focua more on my pour and it is a larger drip assist then the Melo drip.

I am glad I made this purchase and it is certainly my go to for most coffee recipes.
