Manual drip brewers are not automatic, and do require some skill. The upside is the much wider choice of coffees, and the superior results. In any case, most drip coffee makers are very easy to clean; just take out the filter with the spent grounds, and toss in the bin. The cone itself needs occasional rinsing with special coffee cleaner. Most electric coffee makers, including K-cup brewers, are much more difficult to clean. Horses for courses, as they say.

They are hard to clean. Rather, I may go for a k-cup which is a lot more mess-free. Thanks I dont like drip coffee makers. They are hard to clean.

In a good hotel or restaurant coffee shouldn't be an afterthought. Whether it's the first in the morning, or the last after dinner, it should be as good as the rest, and add to the experience. That includes the coffee itself, and the style and presentation. In the bigger picture, even the net cost of incidental breakage is secondary. Totally agreed.

Except that the Sowden is defintely more classy and has a simple luxury look. I agree with you that this may be suitable for high end restaurants or hotels that cares about the quality of coffee that they serve. It is definitely easier to clean than a french press and would be a better alternative to coffee that's been sitting on a heating element. As you mentioned that the built quality is a bit fragile, then the only drawback I can see is the high incidence of breakages. If these restaurants or hotels can see pass that (knowing that the price charged for the coffee will easily offset the cost of the pot), then we may have a treat to better coffee at these establishments.

You're right about the hiatus, sorry. In addition, the spoon that comes with the Sowden pot is a bit small, and the advice in the brochure is not quite right. Anyway, for other basic methods, including press pot and filter drip, you would use basically the same measure. The Sowden pot is no different. I'm using ca. 60g coffee per 1000ml water, or 15g per 250ml cup. That translates to just over 0.5oz coffee per 8.5 fl oz water. HTH! Hi Kathleen, thanks for your comment.

What you neglected to inform me of is: how many ounces in a cup for this method of brewing? How much coffee per cup did you use? Thank you.
