Coffee pour over with giant hole?

[chovyfu]

I got a ceramic coffee pour over.

It has giant hole but when I put the filter in it just rips and all the grounds fall into the mug.

Any solution for this?

It happened 3 times in a row. I finally used 2 filters but now it doesn’t taste as good.

Use a different brand of filter... they shouldn't tear

I think this is why I gave up on pour-overs...

What do you do now?

I have not ever seen this problem. Sound like defective filter paper.

I have a Moccamaster for my home (anguished for weeks about spending that much for a coffee brewer, but don't regret at all!), just bought the OXO On 9-Cup brewer for our rental cabin we just closed on (simple machine, but still high quality - easy for guests to use), and when I travel, I use Cometeer frozen pods (Equator, Klatch, Joe's Coffee, etc.).

All good options... In a pinch I have a Stanley French Press I can take with me with some pre-ground coffee. Great for camping, and sometimes traveling.

I have never had this problem. Some kind of defective paper.

I like pour over because I like the ritual of making it.

I have gravitated to Hario V-60 equipment. No problems.
