Yes, you will need to purchase denatured alcohol or high-percentage ethanol fuel separately, as it is not included for safety reasons during shipping.

The cloth filter requires a bit more maintenance than a paper filter. You should rinse it thoroughly with hot water after every use and store it in a container of water in the refrigerator if you aren't brewing daily to prevent it from drying out or developing odors.

The brewer is made from high-quality heatproof borosilicate glass, but it is still glass and requires careful handling. Hario offers replacement parts, including the upper and lower bowls, so you don't have to replace the entire unit if a piece breaks.
