WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED
This is the rare case where the cheapest material is also the performance material: plastic loses less brew heat than ceramic or glass, while the mature 60°/spiral-rib geometry and ubiquitous filters make it a genuine tool rather than a fashion object.
MATERIALS
Dripper bodyBPA-free polypropylene
Low thermal mass avoids drawing much heat from the slurry; it is also shatter-resistant.
