Tools and Hardware Reviews of Melitta 64008 Red Ready Set Joe Filter Cone
Customer Review: Simple Way to Make Good Coffee
Summary: 4 Stars
Been using a one-cup coffee cone for decades, and I have a suggestion: Buy #4 filters instead of the #2 recommended ones. The smaller, #2 filters aren't tall enough, so it's too easy to slop boiling water over the edge of the smaller filter.
The #4 filter fits similarly except that the #4 extends above the rim of the cone to hold more water if you tend to over-pour.
I just purchased the cone featured here (mine is black) and bought it from Bed Bath and Beyond (please note that I've bought other, more costly items from Amazon.com whose prices and service are among the best).
Bought the new cone because the open space at the bottom should make it easy to see when the cup is full instead of lifting the unit from the cup. One thing I noticed is that the bottom is slightly rounded on mine, so it doesn't fit as well on the top of the coffee cup. Not sure if that'll matter much when there's coffee and water in it. That's why I give my new cone only 4 stars instead of 5.
In any case, inexpensive coffee cones make coffee as well or better than costly machines. Again, buy #4 filters.
Great for people who like to keep things simple!

The Ready Set Joe from Melitta is the perfect, one-cup of coffee solution. This is a great product in our home as my son drinks a brand of coffee neither his father or I like. Now he can make his preferred flavor , eliminating the need to perk an entire pot of coffee that ends up being wasted.
I fill it with one scoop for a milder coffee. You can of course vary the strength by adding more or less coffee to the filter depending on how strong you like your coffee.
You may need to pour water through a few times depending on your cup size.
The Melitta Ready Set Joe is perfect for home, office or traveling.
One of the best things about the Melitta Ready Set Joe is the cost.
Customer Review: perfect brew for single cups
Summary: 5 Stars
I got two of these plastic coffee brewers cup, one for the office and one for home. I usually brew a whole pot of coffee in the mornings, but sometimes later at work, or in the afternoons and evenings at home, when I know I won't finish a whole pot or there's nobody to share with, I brew a single cup with this cup. Along with the filter cone filters, and a coffee grinder, this is a very quick method to have a freshly brewed single cup of coffee at any time without having to brew a whole pot of coffee. I have also traveled with it! very handy too in small hotels that provide hot water. If you are an avid coffee drinker, surely will get a lot of use from it.Customer Review: Ready Set Joe!

This product is exactly what I've been looking for. The industrial strength coffee maker at work isn't used properly so I prefer to brew a fresh cup. Not a fan of the french press and graininess so tried this as an alternative. Works great! The strength of the coffee will depend on how much you put in the filter, so it will take some tries to get used it it. Awesome product!Customer Review: Don't believe the other reviews

If you like your coffee hot, buy something else because this drip cone has two large holes on the side, so while your coffee is dripping, all of the heat goes out the holes. There is another brand with a European name, something like Europa, which is much better. It also has 3 holes instead of one, so it drips faster and stays hotter.
