Great!!! It makes my day every morning!!

I've been using this brewer and carafe for about 2 months now. I changed over to pourover coffee out of a hyperfixasion for better tasting coffee. I started with a v60 ish sort of brewer but fell in love with the carafe from fellow so why not get the brewer as well. It's finicky to get the bloom just right and grind size needs to be smaller than you are used to. The fellow guide says bloom with double the amount you pour with I found it's better to bloom with a bit more like 2.5x the amount so 100ml bloom with 40ml steps works well for a 500ml total brew still using the golden ratios of 15:1 to 18:1. The carafe needs big hands to hold with 1 hand comfortably I have 11" hands from pinky to thumb extended and it's very comfortable my gf with smaller hands needs to hold it with both. The blown glass does feel very delicate but does a fantastic job of keeping coffee warm not hot. I'm happy with the purchase it just took me about 3 weeks to seriously dial in the brewing making 1.5L a day.

Does the job

This brewer does not really worth it. It is not bad, it's just ridiculously expensive for what it is.

Filters are hard to use. It takes 30-40 seconds to separate one filter from the rest of the package and it is a lot of unnecessary hassle. Also, it is possible to use only Fellow own filters, which are expensive and not available everywhere. If you bend the filters it is not fixable, they will make even more trouble.

The brewer itself has a good build quality, but it doesn't matter. What is the point of vacuum sealed brewer if plastic can achieve almost the same heat retention? Double-wall glass carafe is nice, but very fragile.

V60 set costs literally 5 times less and provides easier and faster workflow, simpler and more robust construction, more recipes, cheaper and more accessible filters. There is no reason to consider this brewer unless you tried everything else and money is no objection.

I love the fellow carafe with its double walled design but I find that the dripper doesn't do as good a job as my good old V60 in bringing out the true flavor of the coffee. The coffee is not a bright when I use the fellow dripper.
