And even more so when I found and purchased a permanent gold filter for this pour over maker.
At first I was using the filters papers supplied so I bought another batch of papers. In the meantime I was "missing" some of the "oiliness" of coffee as I had known and loved it for over 60 years. My favourite brew was simply coffee grounds in the jug, a small pinch of salt*, add water just off the boil, stir, wait for it to brew, then pass it through a sieve-like "coffee strainer" and enjoying quite a bit of the "sludge" in the bottom of the cup. Perhaps "cowboy coffee" may have been a fair description?
Then I discovered that there was a permanent gold filter available for the Oxo pour over and immediately bought one. I now have the very best of both worlds. Easy to brew, easy to clean up, and most importantly, the *full* coffee experience that I have enjoyed and loved over a lifetime.
I don't think this device can be beaten for ease and simplicity, *and* providing coffee the way that I like it.
* re "small pinch of salt" - One day, many years ago, when working offshore in the oil patch I volunteered to make the coffee for the crew on break and went through the usual rituals. I was pulled up by an old Dutchman who said, "Hey, you forgot the salt!"
"Salt?" I asked, "What salt?"
"You should always put a pinch of salt in your coffee," he told me.
A couple of other Dutch guys in the crew nodded their approval. I thought they were taking the P but I added some salt anyway. Since I tasted that coffee that day I have *always* added a pinxch of salt to my brew. Only when someone insists on "where did you get this beautiful coffee?" do I tell them my secret.
Give it a try.
