Know before you buy
No, the IMS V60° features an ultra-fine 35-micron stainless steel membrane designed to filter coffee grounds directly. This eliminates the need for paper filters entirely, allowing more natural oils to pass through for a fuller-bodied cup.
Because the metal mesh allows coffee oils and micro-fines to pass through that paper filters typically absorb, you can expect a richer, more textured brew. It provides a cleaner, more unadulterated flavor profile that highlights the specific characteristics of your coffee beans.
The dripper features a versatile triangular support base with adjustable rods that accommodate diameters ranging from 65mm to 140mm. This design ensures it sits securely on most standard carafes, decanters, and large mugs.
While it is compatible with standard pour-over grind sizes, the 35-micron mesh is quite fine. You may need to experiment slightly with your grind settings to find the optimal flow rate and avoid over-extraction or clogging.
The dripper is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. For daily maintenance, we recommend rinsing it thoroughly with hot water immediately after use to prevent coffee oils from building up in the fine mesh.
