Etkin 8-Cup Pour-Over Set

We have long been an Aeropress household but decided to buy an Etkin 8-cup as our foray into pourovers for busy mornings because we had a bunch of old regular flat bottom filters sitting in our pantry. We've now had it for a few months and have discovered that (1) for two 10-12ish oz servings, we need to finish pouring before the three-minute mark in order for everything to flow down by the end of six minutes, (2) different types of beans and roasts result in slower or faster draw downs, and (3) we range between 28-31 clicks on our Comandante grinder depending on #2. Granted, this took some trial and error, and we also found comfort in our Aeropress being readily available if things were to go awry. Now that we've figured out the variables and our routine with the Etkin, we're really happy with its simplicity, ease of cleaning, and minimal required accessories.

Love using this for small house parties; everyone wants coffee and its fun to use.
The carafe seems quite delicate, and I worry a bit about how thin the handle is regarding durability, but the set up is wonderful.
I had an issue with my shipment initially but Aaron in customer service was able to help me very quickly. Overall it's been a great experience.
Just expect to be patient with such a large pour over amount, it takes about 5 minutes.

I really enjoy this brewer, but it does not sit well on top of the glass carafe. You need to be a little gentle with it. That is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. As for brewing it gets a 5.

It makes a very nice larger batch pour over. I am a big v-60 fan so the flat bottom changes things up. This is nice to have in the office were a few of us drink coffee. Also, it is heavy so be aware of your scale limits when brewing.

I love the idea. I cannot seem to make coffee with it without it choking. Ive even tried brewing it at a French press grind level and it still chokes. I’ve poured slow avoiding the center and I’ve poured fast into the center to try and move the grinds. Nothing has worked.

Great kit.
