One large omission from its espresso lineup, although, has been a device to make high-quality pour-over espresso — the strategy of brewing espresso the place you place a conical machine with a filter and low grounds atop a espresso cup or carafe and pour scorching water over it — whereas tenting, climbing, touring, or anyplace else they may need a simple pick-me-up.

Yeti Rambler Pour-Over

I’m a former barista who has made espresso nearly each conceivable approach, from guide, lever-based espresso to drip, French press, and, certainly, pour-over. In truth, pour-over occurs to be my most popular technique after I’m at residence, so I used to be very excited to listen to about this launch (it didn’t harm that I’m additionally a lifetime Yeti fan). Fortunately, Yeti despatched me one to check out, and I’ve been having fun with it significantly. 

There are quite a lot of wonderful particulars that go into the development of a pour-over and the execution of creating nice espresso in it, however in the end it’s a quite simple, no-frills approach of creating superior espresso with minimal instruments. Yeti’s iteration has some cool options, like double-wall insulation (for tighter temperature management), a sturdy base, and a stainless-steel construct. The latter just isn’t solely nice for sturdiness, because you is likely to be packing this in a backpack or jumbling it round with different camp cookware, however chrome steel can be a preferable materials for pour-over as a result of it heats up rapidly and doesn’t pull a lot temperature out of your espresso. 

Since utilizing this pour-over, I’ve discovered my espresso to be almost indistinguishable from different pour-overs (i.e. it’s scrumptious). For model continuity, I even tried brewing instantly into my beloved Yeti Rambler 14-ounce mug, which saved stated espresso scorching for hours. The pour-over is appropriate with regular V60 filters, which I exploit with my different espresso units, so I didn’t even have to seize something new. Between using filters and its kitchen-grade metal, it’s nearly pointless to focus on that that is straightforward to clean, as a result of there’s not even something to wash, actually — a fast rinse with water leaves you utterly able to make one other cup.

The underside line is that Yeti hit a house run right here: That is principally an ideal pour-over, and it’s solely $30. It’s extremely sturdy and hard — a severely high-quality piece of espresso gear. Personally, I’m enthusiastic about this as a result of it’ll permit me to make pour-over not solely within the nice outdoor, however after I go to my mother’s home (since her espresso machine isn’t nice), after I go on trip, and after I inevitably break one other delicate Hario V60 ceramic pour-over.
