I have one of these, but I've never been able to get good results with it. The screen doodad that is supposed to sit on top of the coffee grounds always flips up and pushes all of the grounds to one side. The resulting cup ends up bitter and acrid, even with condensed milk. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if there is something wrong with my brewer, or if everything is working as intended and I just don't like it.

Ah, mine has a threaded insert that comes up out of the coffee bed and the bit that sits on top the grounds screws onto it; no flipping. I did screw it down too tight on one attempt, which jammed it up and the water didn't flow through.

How was it? Makes me think of something like an orea or fellow stag, though I imagine it's just a metal filter at the bottom?

Awesome! Condensed milk will definitely help cover up the worst of it. Have fun dialing in!

Oh neat! I’ve never encountered these before. Are they like v60 drip brewers or more like a small press? How does the brew turn out compared to other methods? Any particular make you’d recommend or things to look for when shopping for one?

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Trying a Vietnamese phin brewer. A dollop of sweet and condensed milk in the cup.
