- A budget reusable stainless cone that fits both V60-style cones and the Chemex, aimed at people who want a metal filter without the premium of an Able Kone. As with any metal filter, the mesh lets oils and fines through for a fuller, more sediment-heavy cup than paper, and it drains fast enough that a coarser grind usually behaves better. The "fast" rating is community consensus, not a lab number. It's a zero-waste, one-buy option; the trade against paper is clarity and a clean base.

- How it brews
- The V60-sized version of Able's reusable stainless cone. Like its larger Chemex sibling, the metal mesh passes oils and fine particles that paper traps, so it pushes a V60 toward more body and more sediment at the cost of clarity. It drains quickly through the perforated wall, so a coarser grind than your paper V60 recipe usually keeps it from running muddy. "Fast" here is community consensus, not a measured figure. Choose it for zero waste and a heavier cup; keep paper if cup clarity is the priority.
