Overview
The 1082 is a manual pour-over with a roughly 0.3-liter capacity, sized for one cup at a time. It uses ground coffee and paper filters, so the cup comes out clean with the bright clarity that paper brewing is known for.
The metal body and metallic black finish give it a more rugged feel than the glass and ceramic drippers it competes with, which suits a brewer meant to travel. Its compact 3.52 x 3.52 x 6.65-inch footprint stows easily in a bag or drawer.
At about $30, it is priced like a quality single-cup dripper. The 4.5-star rating across nearly 600 reviews is solid, and the appeal is clear: durable, portable, paper-filtered pour-over without any glass to break.
