Brewista Artisan Tornado Coffee Dripper

The Brewista Tornado is designed to work with standard cone-shaped paper filters. We recommend using high-quality bleached or unbleached paper filters that match the size of the dripper to ensure a clean cup.

Yes, pre-heating the dripper with hot water before adding your coffee grounds is recommended. Since borosilicate glass has excellent thermal stability, warming it up first helps maintain a consistent brewing temperature throughout the extraction process.

The specialized ribbing structure is engineered to manage water flow and prevent the filter from sticking to the sides of the glass. This promotes consistent extraction and prevents the coffee bed from stalling, resulting in a more balanced and sediment-free cup.

The base of the Tornado is designed to sit securely on most standard-sized coffee carafes and mugs. However, if you are using a very wide-rimmed vessel, ensure the dripper base has enough surface area to sit level and stable before you begin pouring.

While it is made of high-quality borosilicate glass, which is more resistant to thermal shock than standard glass, it is still glass and should be handled with care. With normal daily use and proper cleaning, it is a durable tool built to last.
