Diguo Reusable Permanent Coffee Filter for Hario Siphon Coffee Maker - Enjoy Fresh Coffee Every Time!

LIU HON CHIU: The filter is easy to use. I can tell the favour of coffee is better in compare with using paper filter. The stainless steel mesh is so fine that it gets clogged easily. Normal washing and brushing cannot clean it thoroughly. I use ultrasonic cleaner with hot water (around 80 degree celsius). 10 minutes cleaning, the filter works like new again.

Eric Matthews: I recently purchased a Yama siphon coffee maker to replace a Bodum unit. I'm loving the Yama, but the cloth filter was really a hassle - much more difficult to maintain than the one for the Bodum. I found this item, saw it was highly rated, decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. Zero grounds are making their way into the carafe as opposed to the cloth filter. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

mgw: Been using the cloth wrapped filter for more than a decade. Couldn't find more of the cloth ones and decided to try this. I’ve got both the Hario MCA3 & MCA5 and it would work with either. Better flavor since none of the natural flavors and oils get stuck in the cloth!!! It's easy for the screen to get clogged especially with small grounds, if you use a Magic Eraser (https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Clean-Original-Cleaning-Durafoam/dp/B07MF3DY3C/ref=sr_1_5?crid=X9SU039TGUVW&keywords=Magic+Eraser&qid=1691002429&sprefix=magic+eraser%2Caps%2C242&sr=8-5) it cleans the screen and it's like new.

BenB: I bought this to for my Hario Technica siphon brewer. The siphon brewer comes with its own metal and cloth filters. This filter is better quality than the metal filter that comes with the brewer, and it's also much easier maintenance and cleaning than the cloth filters. Personally I've found that the cloth filters give me the best cup of coffee with the siphon brewer, but they are a lot of extra work to keep clean. If you're already purchasing a Hario Technica then I'd say this filter and a butane burner are worthwhile additions. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I've occasionally had issues with the draw down being too slow or stalling, so it's a little trickier to get the grind size dialed in.

Kin Goku Kai: I wanted to love this product but unfortunately I can’t!

The product has two major flaws:

1) As soon as you take the filter out from its package, you can smell the foul unpleasant pungent. The odor is extremely unbearable that it smells like melted plastic. To rid off the odor, I tried soaking it with soap water and in boiled soda water. None of these methods work! When I soaked the filter ring in hot water for half the day until it gets cold. I took the filter out of the water. When I took a sniff at the water. Oh my god! I almost puke! I can smell the foul odor has already transferred into the water! Just imagine drinking it!
The coffee I made from this filter doesn’t have a distinctive odor or taste because coffee flavor overtaken the foul pungent. But with pure water I can smell it!

2) When the water rise to the top chamber, there’s a sudden burst of bubble coming from the middle of the filter. To extract the possible flavor, one must control the water in its most stable condition such as tiny bubbles. The huge bubbles will erupt or affect the overall extraction! That’s a huge disappointment!

In conclusion, I’m extremely unsatisfied...

Paul H: The only thing stopping me giving this five stars is that the chain is a fraction too short. Just a couple of millimetres longer would make it a bit more convenient to use.
Other than that it's a great alternative to the cloth or paper filters. It's a joy to clean, and really well made.

Snow days in vancouverSnow days in vancouver: Was about to replace my cloth filter with well, cloth filters. Stumbled upon the metal filter and thought..Right, how did I forgot about them?! Read the mixed reviews below and thought, there's nothing to lose if it doesn't work, will just return it. Just tried it out this morning. It's performed it's function well and the coffee tasted much cleaner than the cloth filter did. And it doesn't matter if the bottom of the ceramic piece isn't flat - as long as it's not so thick that it impeds the rubber gasket's function of making a seal. I would recommend this. Not sure about robustness of the filter yet. I guess we will find out.

Mr. Finicky-timbers: Awesome siphon filter. It makes using a siphon so much easier than a cloth filter and there is ZERO sediment in the cup. With cloth filters, you need to soak them in a cleaning solution and the rinse them out like forever to get all the detergent out and then hang them to dry and then seal them in a plastic bag so they don’t absorb odors. With the metal screen filter, you can use whatever detergent you want and since it’s stainless steel, it won’t absorb the soap or fragrance as long as you rinse it well. The actual metal screen is just an off the shelf espresso machine filter screen so replacements are easy to come by at any e-store that sells espresso machine parts.

I reviewed a lot of the negative comments on this item and I can attribute the issues to a few factors:

1. They have not cleaned their filter screen properly after each use. To do this, get a sponge or scrub brush and slather the screen with detergent and scrub both sides and try to pass the soapy foam through the filter screen and scrub both sides. Rinse with hot water. Also, and this is important, try to rotate the fine mesh screen in a circle around the stainless steel base. This will dislodge...

JDDG: This is a decent quality replacement that will fit almost all brands of syphon coffee maker and removes the need to buy cloth or paper filters in perpetuity. I have mine fitted to the Gourmia electric syphon coffee maker machine and it fits perfectly. It is easy to wash, and easy to fit and remove, indeed much better than the cloth filter the machine came with. My lukewarm rating however is because I find occasionally about half of the coffee won't drain back down into the lower carafe. I've tried stirring during brewing and after, but sometimes nothing will work. The coffee just seems to block the drainage through the filter. I use ground coffee bought from Sainsbury's which is a standard grade I've used for many years in filter machines. It's possible this requires a coarser grade of grind, and yet 70% of the time, this works absolutely fine. I wash the filter after every use so I can't explain why this happens but it's annoying, especially when pressed for time in the morning. I've disassembled the filter to clean and check for blockages, but can't find anything that explains this problem. So in conclusion I'd have to say that when this works, it works well. It's well made,...

Maurice: Nicely built filter. Very clean cup, at least as good as with the cloth filter. Very fine mesh...takes a little getting used to as you have to change the grind to suit.. Soft rubber. Exceptionally fast delivery. The only negative is both the spring and the chain are significantly shorter than those on my Yama SY8 vacuum pot. It works, but the chain just barely appears out the bottom of the pick up tube, and the spring must be pulled excessively to make it hook. Another review, posted elsewhere makes mention of the spring deforming, leading to leakage. This is not surprising, given how far it has to stretch to work on the Yama-8. This may also be why another reviewer (again elsewhere) said the rubber deformed and deteriorated. I took the chain and spring from the old cloth filter and installed it on the new filter...problem solved. It would be five stars but for the chain/spring problem...if it holds up.
