Fellow Stagg X Pour-Over Coffee Maker

Yes, this dripper is designed to be used with Fellow's Stagg [X] paper filters. While other cone-shaped filters might physically fit, the specific geometry and steep slope of the Stagg [X] are optimized for these filters to ensure proper extraction.

The vacuum-insulated walls prevent heat loss during the brew cycle, which is a common issue with standard ceramic or plastic drippers. This stability helps maintain a consistent water temperature, allowing for a more uniform extraction of your coffee grounds.

The Stagg [X] dripper is designed to nest securely into the included double-wall tasting glass, but it features a flat base that allows it to sit stably on most standard mugs. As long as your mug's rim is not exceptionally wide, you can easily brew directly into your preferred cup.

The glass is made from borosilicate, which is known for its thermal shock resistance and durability. While it is glass and requires standard care, it is designed for daily use and the double-wall construction keeps the exterior cool to the touch while keeping your coffee hot.

Absolutely. The Stagg [X] is actually quite forgiving because the steep slope and vacuum insulation help manage the variables that usually make pour-over brewing difficult. It is a straightforward, high-quality tool that simplifies the process without stripping away the control you want.
