The London Sip Coffee Carafe

Yes, the stainless steel filter is designed to catch coffee grounds while allowing natural oils to pass through, resulting in a fuller-bodied cup than paper filters. While you may notice a very small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your mug, it is minimal and typical of metal-filtered pour-over brewing.

While the carafe comes with a reusable stainless steel filter, you can certainly use a paper filter if you prefer. Just ensure the paper filter fits the cone shape of the dripper properly to maintain a consistent flow rate.

The handle is ergonomically designed to stay cool to the touch while you pour. However, because the carafe is made of glass, we recommend handling it with care if you have just poured boiling water directly into the vessel.

The filter is dishwasher safe, but for the best results, we recommend rinsing it immediately after use to prevent oils from building up in the mesh. A quick scrub with a soft brush and mild soap every few uses will keep the mesh clear and ensure your coffee tastes fresh.

Absolutely. Borosilicate glass is specifically chosen for its resistance to thermal shock, meaning it can handle the rapid temperature changes involved in brewing hot coffee without cracking. It is a durable, high-quality material built for the rigors of a daily coffee routine.

The 600ml size is ideal for one to two people, yielding about two standard mugs of coffee. If you frequently brew for a larger group or prefer to have extra coffee on hand, the 1200ml capacity is the better choice.
