Overview
The Kalita #01010 is a single-serving ceramic dripper sized for up to 2 cups. Its white ceramic body is compact at 4.13 x 4.13 x 2.95 inches and weighs just 0.32 lb, making it easy to handle and store. The reusable filter means no ongoing paper filter purchases, though a metal or mesh filter will allow more oils into the cup compared to paper.
Kalita is a Japanese brand known for its flat-bottomed Wave design, but the #01010 appears to use a more traditional cone or drip-style setup. At $28.30 it is priced fairly for a ceramic brewer from an established coffee equipment brand. The 4.5-star average from 300 reviews reflects genuine buyer satisfaction.
Note that this brewer is not dishwasher safe, so daily hand washing is required. It is also not smart home compatible and operates entirely manually without any electrical components.
