YETI Rambler Pour Over
A one-piece 18/8 stainless V60-style dripper with a bare-steel ribbed brew cone - no plastic in the build or the water path, just steel and a paper filter.
The verdict: Plastic-free
The whole thing is 18/8 stainless steel - a one-piece, double-wall cone with a bare ribbed interior, so hot water and coffee touch only steel and a standard paper filter, and there's no plastic dripper, no plastic part, and no silicone anywhere. The only non-steel element is the exterior color, and on YETI's Rambler line that's a bonded DuraCat finish over the steel rather than a molded plastic component - the same way we treat the powder-coated body on the Cafelat Robot or the color finishes on Aarke's steel. It never touches the coffee. That leaves a genuinely plastic-free brewer.
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Food contact |
|---|---|---|
| brewing cone (interior) bare 18/8 stainless, ribbed inside so the paper filter doesn't suction-stick | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | Yes primary 🔥 |
| body / base one-piece, double-wall insulated 18/8 steel; colored versions carry YETI's DuraCat exterior color finish over the steel (exterior only, no coffee contact) - not a separate plastic part | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | No |
| filter uses standard V60-style paper filters (not included); a reusable stainless V60 filter also fits | Paper | Yes primary 🔥 |
A rugged, packable pour-over cone: one piece of 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel, double-wall insulated, that sits on top of your cup or carafe and drips through a standard V60-style paper filter. The inside of the cone is bare stainless with straight ribs that keep the paper from sealing to the wall. It is a brewer only, meant to perch on a separate vessel; YETI suggests a 14 oz Rambler mug or 16 oz stackable cup, leaving room for about 12 oz of coffee. Well reviewed as durable and travel/camp friendly.
Pros
- One-piece, double-wall insulated steel; effectively indestructible and camp-ready
- Fits any standard V60 paper filter, or a reusable stainless V60 filter to go paperless
- Inexpensive for the category at about $30
Cons
- Brewer only - needs a separate cup or carafe underneath
- Relies on consumable paper filters unless you add a metal one
- Straight ribs and a single fixed hole give less flow control than a ceramic/glass V60
- Colored versions have an exterior DuraCat finish over the steel (non-contact) - strict coating-avoiders may prefer a bare-steel colorway
Notes
- MSRP about $30; sold in several DuraCat colors (Navy, Black, White, and others)
- The exterior matte finish is what some reviewers describe as a grippy, rubber-like surface when handling hot water
