The 12 Best Pour Over Coffee Makers of 2025

The Chemex 8-Cup Coffeemaker remains a favorite for its clean, crisp, flavorful coffee and scored an impressive 8.5/10 in our testing for overall cup clarity. During our review we found the thick Chemex-specific paper filters are essential to that bright profile but they can be harder to source and slightly more costly than standard filters. This glass brewer produces fantastic large batches in 5–7 minutes and looks gorgeous on the counter, though you should treat the glass carefully to avoid the fragility that comes with its elegant design.

The Carita Kalita Ceramic Coffee Dripper scored a strong 8/10 in our evaluations thanks to excellent heat retention and a three-hole design that promotes even extraction and balanced flavors. We found the ceramic body helps maintain consistent temperatures across a 3–4 minute brew, producing reliably delicious cups, but during our review the material’s fragility and added weight make it less travel-friendly. For home use where steady heat and even extraction matter, the Kalita is a top practical choice if you’re willing to treat it gently.

Melitta’s Pour-Over Coffee Brew Cone is an ultra-budget, easy-to-use option that we liked for its lightweight design and compatibility with common #2 or #4 cone filters. In our testing its plastic construction makes it especially portable and simple to rinse clean, but the trade-offs showed up in poor heat retention and a single small hole that can slow brewing, which contributed to its lower 5.5/10 score. If you need a no-frills, inexpensive dripper for occasional use it gets the job done, but don’t expect long heat-holding or fast extraction.

If you want a no-fuss dripper that punches above its weight, the Hario V60 Mugen is a terrific budget-minded choice — it earned a 7.5/10 and impressed us with consistent daily performance. In our testing we found its simplified one-pour design and ceramic construction make brewing straightforward and retain heat well, while the smaller hole and diamond-pattern interior deliver controlled extraction across a 2–3 minute brew. The downside is it favors medium to dark roasts and, during our review, produced simpler profiles with light roasts, so brightness chasers may prefer a more versatile option.

The Stagg Pour-Over Set is a sleek, minimalist glass setup that looks at home on any counter and earned a respectable 7.5/10 in our testing for design and usability. We found the dripper’s built-in ratio aid genuinely helpful for dialing-in consistent brews, and the double-wall glass carafe keeps coffee hot while staying cool to the touch — though during our review that heat didn’t hold up as long as we’d hoped for slow sippers. Practical downsides include the carafe’s fragility and a rough outer dripper texture that feels less premium than its price suggests, so handle carefully if you buy into the clean aesthetic and high coffee quality.

For a stylish, performance-forward pour-over the Origami Sakura Pink Dripper really stands out — it earned an 8/10 for its versatility and attractive Mino porcelain finish. We found the 20 vertical ribs improve airflow and extraction, and compatibility with both conical and wave filters gives you flexibility to shape brightness and body over a 3–4 minute brew. During our review it impressed for heat retention and cup clarity, but be aware the porcelain is fragile, it requires a separately sold holder for stability, and the $55 price may give budget-minded buyers pause.

Pourigami is a sturdy stainless-steel travel dripper that we found durable and easy to clean, making it a reliable companion for trips and outdoor mornings. In our testing its compact foldable design is a practical win, but the unit is heavier than some portable options and limited to a single cup, so it’s best for solo travelers who value longevity over ultralight weight. During our review assembly was a little fiddly at first, yet the metal construction delivers consistent extractions and high coffee quality on the road.

The Costa Rican Chorreador is a charming, traditional wood brewer that we enjoyed for producing full-bodied, smooth coffee thanks to its cloth filter and gentle extraction style. In our testing the unit’s fold-flat design is handy for storage, but several models arrived with finish and construction issues and the cloth filter demands thorough cleaning and ongoing maintenance to avoid residue buildup. While it offers a distinctive brewing experience and high coffee quality, its 5/10 score reflects those practical upkeep and quality-control drawbacks to consider before buying.

If you want an affordable, durable option, the Signature Series Pour-Over Coffeemaker is a compact porcelain dripper that delivers high-quality coffee and is dishwasher-safe, which we appreciated during our review. In our testing its single-drip-hole design produced a slower 3–4 minute brew and a few users — and we — noticed occasional leakage during pouring, so expect some patience and careful setup. While not the highest scorer at 6.5/10, this porcelain piece is a solid, space-saving choice for one-cup morning routines where heat retention and durability matter.

The Bodum Pour Over Coffee Maker impressed us with rich, flavorful cups and earned a solid 7.5/10 for taste and overall value. During our review the stainless-steel mesh filter delivered a fuller-bodied brew, although we found it allows fine grounds through sometimes, leaving a bit of sediment for those who prefer crystal-clear cups. The glass carafe is heat-resistant and attractive, but like other glass brewers it’s prone to breakage, so handle carefully if you want that bolder profile without compromise.

The Hario V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper 02 is our top-rated, travel-friendly pick and scored 9/10 for affordability, durability and the excellent, bright cup it produces. We found the lightweight plastic construction makes it ideal for camping or commuting, and its 2–4 minute brew produces well-extracted, flavorful coffee — but expect a learning curve to master the spiral V60 pouring technique. During our testing the need for specifically shaped filters was a minor annoyance and the plastic won’t hold heat as well as ceramic, yet for value and portability this one’s hard to beat.

ZERO JAPAN’s Ceramic Coffee Dripper is a handsome, durable ceramic option that we appreciated for its sturdy feel and helpful side windows that let you monitor brew volume during our testing. Our experience shows the dripper accepts standard #2 and #4 filters and delivers high coffee quality in 2–3 minutes, but the small base can make it unstable on larger mugs and the base design itself feels fragile. While it scores a middling 6/10 due to those stability concerns, it’s a good pick if you prioritize heat retention and a tactile ceramic brew experience.
