Tools and Hardware Reviews of Melitta 64008 Red Ready Set Joe Filter Cone

Customer Review: Convenient
Summary: 5 Stars

The Ready Set Joe from Melitta is the perfect, one-cup of coffee solution. This is a great product in our home as my son drinks a brand of coffee neither his father or I like. Now he can make his preferred flavor , eliminating the need to perk an entire pot of coffee that ends up being wasted.

I fill it with one scoop for a milder coffee. You can of course vary the strength by adding more or less coffee to the filter depending on how strong you like your coffee.

You may need to pour water through a few times depending on your cup size.

The Melitta Ready Set Joe is perfect for home, office or traveling.

One of the best things about the Melitta Ready Set Joe is the cost.

Customer Review: Don't believe the other reviews
Summary: 1 Stars

If you like your coffee hot, buy something else because this drip cone has two large holes on the side, so while your coffee is dripping, all of the heat goes out the holes. There is another brand with a European name, something like Europa, which is much better. It also has 3 holes instead of one, so it drips faster and stays hotter.

Customer Review: Great Coffee gizmo, simple, easy, fast clean up, cheap.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been using one of these filter cones for a couple years at home and work. I recently bought a few extras and now take one with me (and my favorite brand of coffee) when I travel - it's a great upgrade from hotel coffee. I use the Melitta #2 unbleached filters and get excellent coffee. You just put ground coffee (drip grind) in the filter, add hot water (appx 195 to 205 degrees F), and in a minute you have a perfect cup of coffee. I've used a number of different methods and gizmos over the years, until I started using this, my favorite was the French Press method.

This is quicker, simpler, easier to clean, and you can take it with you. The coffee tastes great, clean, full, no off tastes. You can of course vary the strength (both the caffeine and flavor) by adding more or less coffee to the filter, and varying the temperature of the water. I find I get the best taste when I bring the water to a full boil then let it sit about a minute. When you're done you toss the used filter with grounds into the garbage, and you're done. This is great if you and your spouse/kid/partner, etc drink different kinds of coffee or one likes decaf and another likes regular. And you make just one cup at a time so you're not brewing a whole 12 cup tank when you really only want a cup. I also like to use this with a 16 oz. travel cup which is 6 oz. larger than my normal cup. I simply add a bit more coffee - a bit more water, and presto! I have exactly the right amount of coffee to hop in the car and off to work or whatever.

You can spend a ton of money for a high tech coffee maker, but you won't get better coffee.

Customer Review: LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This is so great if you just drink one or two cups of coffee in the morning. The coffee is so much better than using a coffeemaker and cleanup is a breeze.
