![Quell Reusable Coffee Filter for Fellow Stagg [XF] Pour Over Coffee Drippers: Stainless Steel Alternative - Brew Without Pape](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81GJMopDhoL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
This is a solid product from Able Brewing, it works well with my 6-cup Chemex and KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Grinder.
The secret to brewing good coffee with this, as other have pointed out, is the grind. Using a medium fine grind is what I've found to work the best.
The cup of coffee that this produces strikes a good mix between a Chemex and a french press, there is very little sediment and it lets more of the oil from the beans into the coffee.
The main reason I got this was to reduce the amount of paper filters I went through (on average about 2 per day). Over the course of a year this should pay for itself, but still it's a rather pricey investment. The fact that it's made in the USA made it easier for me to justify, that and watching a few interviews with Able Brewing made me realize how much they love the craft of making good coffee.
One tip I would throw out there is to use an Aeropress funnel as a way to let the Kone drip dry after it's been cleaned (I found this tip on a coffee blog and can't claim credit for it).
Despite how expensive it is, I'd recommend the Kone to anyone who enjoys their Chemex or Hario and is looking for a way to cut down on the amount of paper filters they use, or to someone who is looking for a new way to brew coffee with their Chemex/Hario.
UPDATE (12/9/2015) The Kone has been holding up great, little signs of wear, it still works perfectly. It cleans easily and the brew time has not slowed at all since original purchase. The Kone filter has saved me quite a bit of money (I brew a batch 2-3 times a day). I highly recommend this if you are a frequent coffee drinker, it's a great value.

The French Press of Pour Overs
I bought the mini and a knockoff V60 to put it in. I concur with other reviewers, it doesn’t sit perfectly and can wobble or shift while pouring. It also likes a rather fine grind, which results in some grit at the bottom of your cup, about the same as a French press. However, with that said, I really like French press coffee and find it interesting to get the body and mouth feel of one from a pour over. It’s made well; construction is clean and precise. Seems durable. Double layer cones inevitably get clogged up and you’ll be grinding boulders to keep your pour under 5 minutes. The Kone is the slowest single layer I’ve used, and I mean that in a good way. Others are like a colander. Overall, I’m happy with it, and the small quirks are livable.
