Keith Titanium Ti3911 Ultralight Coffee Maker - Custom Premium Leather Case Included 18th Anniversary: Exclusive Price!

I never leave reviews, but after using this Keith coffee set every day for over a year, it's time. I love good coffee. I love taking time out of my day to make good coffee from great beans. And, I love titanium because I hate wastefulness and creating trash (paper filters, plastic pieces like the Aeropress, etc.)The good:- Incredibly lightweight, durable, and compact- Insanely high-quality craftsmanship and engineering- Heirloom item that will last forever- Makes an excellent cup when you get the grind setting right per bean/roast- The right bean/grind setting leaves very little, if any, sediment in the cup- Excellent as daily pour over at home, during travel, or outdoorsThe not-so-good:- The stand can be a little uneven/difficult to attach to the cup without the weight of the filter with ground coffee on top of it. So I've learned to never try to attach the stand first. Instead, grind your coffee, pour it into the filter, and then attach the stand with the filter inserted at the same time.- The stand also seems to block some of the filter pores, which causes a slower drip than you would get without the filter at all (you can test this by lifting the filter after you've poured water into the grounds; the flow is better than when it's resting in the stand)- You often have to lightly tap the filter with the side of the included mug cap to keep the flow rate up while filtering. I've come to kind of enjoy this, but I still think it's largely a design flaw related to the stand.- random leather case. Why would anyone buying an ultra light titanium set want a heavy leather case?Overall, even with the drawbacks, the pros vastly outweigh the cons of this filter set. I have access to plenty of other coffee brewing equipment and yet I continue to use the Keith set daily nonetheless. It's convenient, simple, and clean (both the cup it produces and how quick it is to clean up after brewing). Plus, there is something joyful in using such a simple piece of kit that produces next to no waste while still delivering a high-quality cup.

as others have said- this is a quality product. case, unboxing, design and finish are all great. Pour over with 13 grams of coffee was excellent, filter seems equivalent to 100 micron mesh size. the holes have a smooth finish and cleanup was easy, did not grab or retain paper, soap, coffee oils etc. titanium wont hold heat so the coffee slurry can cool off quicker than other methods. you may need to pour a smaller amount of water more frequently to achieve good extraction. total volume as described, just under 7oz.

The media could not be loaded. First off, I'll start by saying that this piece of kit is a tough bullet to bite in terms of the price, but with how essential it has been to me every single day since I have received it, I would gladly buy it 3 times over.I have had this brewer for nearly 4 months, and I have used it extensively to brew everything from Silver Needles to wild purple-black teas. I primarily use it for tea as I'm not very partial to coffee, but it works brilliantly for a beautiful cup of pour-over coffee too every once in a blue moon. The texture it imparts upon everything that is brewed in it is comparable to my pure silver teapot, although it lacks the same level of clarity; say, about half as much. The texture of the titanium cup is also very soft, as soft as the tea within it and doesn't immediately alert the mind that "Hey, this is metal" as cups made of steel might, which further makes the drinking experience very pleasurable.I am a practitioner of gong-fu cha, and although this brewer isn't specifically made for the type of brewing I usually do, it typically works very well as long as a make sure to adjust the leaf ratio precisely.I've also used this brewer as a helper for making small batches of kombucha and Jun, which it is absolutely awesome at, as it saves me the big headache of having to clean a small mouthed pot, a big strainer, etc, and makes taking care of my ferment friends a breeze.In the video and picture that are posted you'll see that have a setup of a Firebox Freestyle with an alcohol burner, a Silverant titanium kettle, the brewer (which I've now affectionately named Mug-cha), an extra cup to pour the tea in because the double walled mugwort can stay hot for too long sometimes, and my silver teapot for comparison. The tea is a strip oolong from Pheonix village brewed Chaozhou style with a bit of saffron.Overall, I've found an amazing fit for my lifestyle and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a do-it-all brewer, with a couple of nitpicks. The mug can sometimes stay hot a bit too long for my taste, and it also doesn't pour very well, through it understand it wasn't designed for that. Oh, by the way, it would also be nice if the "lid" acted more like a lid, as when I used it to cover tea a few times, condensed water started getting all over our counters.Hope you all find this useful, cheers from Florida.
