Yama Glass Glass Drip Pot with Glass Handle
Hand-blown borosilicate glass pour-over pot with a glass handle and an all-stainless cone filter - a fully plastic-free, filterless-optional brewer.
The verdict: Plastic-free
The carafe and its handle are one piece of hand-blown borosilicate glass, and the reusable cone filter is 100% stainless steel with, per Yama, no plastic. Hot water touches only glass and steel (and paper if you add a filter). Choose the glass-handle version - Yama also sells a version with a stainless base ring, still plastic-free, but this one avoids even that.
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Food contact |
|---|---|---|
| carafe / brewing pot Hand-blown, tempered borosilicate glass; heat-resistant. | Borosilicate Glass | Yes primary 🔥 |
| handle Integrated glass handle (this version); no plastic or wood collar. | Borosilicate Glass | No |
| cone filter Yama states the filter is 100% stainless steel with no plastic, grade unspecified; reusable, so no paper needed. | Stainless Steel grade unspecified | Yes primary 🔥 |
| paper filter (optional consumable) Optional - fits Hario V60 02 / Kalita Wave 185 papers; the pot works with the steel cone alone. | Paper | Yes primary 🔥 |
A two-part pour-over set: a hand-blown borosilicate glass carafe with an integrated glass handle, and a reusable flat-bottom stainless steel cone filter that sits in the neck. You add grounds to the metal cone, pour hot water over them, and brewed coffee collects in the 20 oz glass pot below. Because the filter is metal you can brew with no paper at all, or drop in a V60/Kalita paper for a cleaner cup. It is hand-made in Yama's Taiwan glass factory.
Pros
- Reusable steel cone means zero required consumables (paper optional)
- Doubles as brewer and serving carafe
- Attractive hand-blown glass; heat-resistant borosilicate
Cons
- Hand-blown glass (including the handle) is fragile
- Metal filter lets through more fines than paper - grittier cup unless you add paper
- Hand-wash recommended for the glass; no heat retention
- Smaller 20 oz capacity
Notes
- Capacity: ~20 oz (about 4 cups); a 30 oz version also exists
- Steel cone fits Hario V60 02 and Kalita Wave 185 papers if you want to use paper
- A variant with a stainless base ring instead of a glass handle is also sold
