The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The Mixpresso CHMX3 is a compact glass pour-over measuring 3.95 x 3.95 x 6.5 inches and weighing under 0.4 lb. The glossy clear glass finish looks clean, and the reusable filter keeps recurring costs down. It's dishwasher safe, which reduces maintenance friction.

At $15.99, this sits at the budget end of the manual pour-over market. The 4.3 rating across 820 reviews is acceptable, though it trails the most well-regarded pour-over drippers. Buyers at this price generally accept some trade-offs in build quality and filter precision.

The manual operation with loose grounds gives you full control over your pour, though the reusable filter will allow some sediment through. The compact footprint makes it a reasonable fit for small kitchens or travel bags.

  • Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning
  • Lightweight at 0.33 lb and compact at under 4 inches wide

  • Clear glass shows the brew in progress

Cons

What buyers say
