Slow Glass Carafe

How many cups does 600 ml make?

About two to three standard 240 ml mugs, or two generous servings. The measurement marks on the glass are at 200, 400 and 600 ml (about 210, 410 and 600 ml), so you can brew exactly what you need without waste.

Do I need paper filters?

No. The double-layer stainless steel mesh catches grounds while letting oils through, a fuller-bodied cup than paper-filtered coffee. Rinse it after each use, and it lasts as long as the pot does.

Will fine grounds slip through the Slow Glass Carafe's double-layer steel mesh?

They can. Use a medium to medium-coarse grind, like drip coffee: too fine slips through or clogs the mesh, too coarse runs through fast and tastes weak.

Can I use it for cold brew?

Yes. Add coarse grounds to the filter, fill the pot with cold water, and let it steep in the fridge for 12–18 hours. The glass handles cold just as well as heat, and the reusable filter makes cleanup simple.

Is the wood collar removable?

No, it's fixed to the glass. The collar insulates your hand from the hot pot and adds a warm, tactile detail to an otherwise industrial tool. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth, do not submerge it in water.

Is this a French press?

No. There is no plunger. It is a pour-over carafe: you pour hot water over the grounds in the built-in double-layer steel mesh filter, and the coffee drips into the 600 ml pot. Like a French press, the metal mesh lets the coffee oils through, so the cup has more body than with paper.

What touches the coffee?

Only high borosilicate glass and the double-layer stainless steel mesh filter. The turned wood collar and leather tie sit on the outside of the neck.

Is it a good gift for someone who hosts?

Yes. It brews about two to three 240 ml mugs and serves straight from the pot at the table, with a turned wood collar, a leather tie and a wood bead at the neck.

How much coffee for a pour-over of 600 ml?

At 1:16, about 35 g of medium-ground coffee for 560 g of water, poured in stages after a short bloom. The Slow Glass Carafe holds 600 ml with etched marks at 200, 400 and 600 ml, and the Toscana Pour-Over Set comes in 600 ml. Weigh with the Workshop Brew Scale.

Is there a pour-over coffee maker that doesn't need paper filters?

Yes, two with reusable stainless steel filters. The Slow Glass Carafe is a 600 ml borosilicate carafe with a built-in double-layer steel mesh, etched at 200, 400 and 600 ml. The Workshop Pour-Over Set is a 400 ml borosilicate carafe with a conical double-wall 304 stainless filter. Rinse the mesh after each brew.

What's a nice coffee carafe to serve at the table?

The Slow Glass Carafe is a 600 ml borosilicate carafe with a turned wood collar and a leather tie, and you brew and serve in the same pot. To keep a big batch hot for hours, the Heritage Travel Thermos holds 1.5 L with a push-button spout. The 1 L Signature French Press also goes straight to the table.

Glass, ceramic or steel filter: which pour-over brewer should I pick?

A steel mesh filter is reusable and lets more oils through, for more body: the Slow Glass Carafe or the Workshop Pour-Over Set. A ceramic dripper with paper gives the cleanest cup and holds heat well: the Pastorale Pour-Over Set. A glass dripper lets you watch the brew: the Toscana Pour-Over Set. See our pour-over sets.
