Timemore Crystal Eye Brewer

Yes, the Crystal Eye uses standard cone-shaped filters. It is designed to be compatible with V60-01 size filters, which are widely available.

The unique ridges and geometry of the Crystal Eye are designed to promote a more consistent extraction by preventing the filter from sticking to the walls. This helps maintain a steady flow rate, which generally results in a cleaner, more balanced cup compared to standard flat-walled drippers.

The carafe is made from high borosilicate glass, which is known for its thermal shock resistance and durability. While it is glass and should be handled with care, it is perfectly suited for the rigors of a daily coffee ritual.

The difference is purely in the capacity of the included carafe. The 360ml version is ideal for single-cup brewing, while the 600ml version provides extra room if you are brewing for two or prefer a larger morning mug.

Yes, the dripper is detachable. While it is designed to fit perfectly with the included Timemore carafe, the base is sized to sit securely on most standard-sized mugs or other decanters.
