After studying the various different models of travel coffee makers on the market I settled on the Snow Peak version for these reasons: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It folds almost totally flat, meaning it can be folded away to fit in a luggage pocket.<\/li>\n<li>It is fairly lightweight. At 4.9 oz the drip isn&#8217;t ultralight, but I am willing to carry that extra weight due to its usefulness. <\/li>\n<li>The stainless steel construction is robust and food safe. I find that continuous use of those plastic coffee drips can warp the material and I am dubious about which plastics they are constructed from. After using the Snow Peak drip I can wash it and it looks as good a new. Occasionally I have dropped the drip from waist height and there has been no damage. <\/li>\n<li>The dripper takes a standard flat paper coffee filter (I prefer the no. 2 size) which can be found worldwide. My favorite brand is Melitta. One can also use the pointed Hario style cone filters, but the filters used in coffee machines will not fit.\n<\/li>\n<li>I enjoy the taste of filter coffee more than espresso brew style or a coffee press. <\/li>\n<li>The Snow Peak drip is a beautiful object which I appreciated which when felt and used, one senses that there has been a greater consideration in the design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Very quickly after purchasing the Snow Peak coffee drip I started using it every day at home as well as traveling. My girlfriend also uses it daily so it brews roughly four cups a day. The drip has brewed over four thousand cups so far and operates and looks as if it is new. <\/p>\n<p>Drip coffee is not a fast method of brewing coffee, but I enjoy the slowness. If I could change one thing about the drip it would be the steel construction. Snow Peak is a brand known for their innovative use of titanium, so it would be great to see the coffee drip is offered in that material. I presume the drip would maintain the strength but would be lighter. <\/p>\n<p>There are now multiple travel style coffee makers on the market at the moment and I would be happy to use another if it fulfills my criteria better then the Snow Peak version, but I have yet to find a travel coffee drips which competes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lightweight pour-over <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32169"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32169"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32171,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32169\/revisions\/32171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
