this is gonna be a little bit different than usual now, because this video has a sponsor is sponsored by North VPN.
I took this as an opportunity to do something I wouldn't usually do.
I often do reviews, and I have a patriot supports that.
But here No, no, no.
This was a chance to do something a little bit different, and I needed to go to work here.
So I thought, Why don't I go toe gear and just buy all of the coffee things and review them on?
Then give them away.
So let's see.
What does Ikey have?
And ultimately, is it any good?
It's a pound town.
I'm going to £22.
That really actually product Organic dark roast coffee.
We're not buying.
We're not buying that £27.
It's a big French press.
We got the all important metal core of a set.
Can't forget.
Little collapsed metal filter.
Heard heard.
Hug her gig.
40.
Get to right.
Just start, bro.
So you don't want the whole So let's see what we have today.
Okay?
We got a couple friends, presses.
We've got, like, a little blast guy.
Way got a chunky chunky little, uh, metal one, which is good.
Minimized the other stuff we've got, like, a travel thermos on a little travel cup.
Okay, A little hunger enough.
Gotta hand grinder.
This thing, which is a stovetop terrifying, must all corrupts be terrible.
Let's find out.
We've got some 40 pence glass caps, which I don't even understand, but we got those.
We've got some very I don't know, Like eerie kind of cups here going on.
We got some nice little patterns on things I need to drink out of something, you know.
So that's that.
We got this weed little kind of brewing, poor of a set up.
And then last but not least, we have the tasteful glass carafe slash pour over thing.
So here's the plan of attack.
We're gonna divide and conquer all of this stuff together.
This is not going to be an in depth review of each product.
They're just They're just in time.
We'll enter the top line.
Question.
Is this good?
Is this bad?
Is it worth the money or not?
Nothing here is over £30 so it's all pretty cheap.
So the questions doesn't suck.
Maybe it does.
Who knows, so we'll start by looking at the hangar under.
Then we'll have a look at the French presses.
Then we'll do some poor of a goodness.
Well, maybe drink from some cups as we're doing most things on finish with a little bit of Ah, moka pot.
Goodness.
Let's have a look at this £22 grinder we've got in here.
Your classic set off what looked like very plasticky white ceramic birds.
Why would it will say this little spongy bit on the bottom here.
That's kind of nice.
I guess that's to keep it nice.
I'm fixed on the table when you're hungry.
Only which isn't last touch.
I'd be shocked if Yeah, that's pretty much it.
The crush grind little birth set.
Interesting to see.
It says sort of crushed grind.
Oh, dear.
Oh, it's really plasticky.
That's not nice to adjust.
All right, now this is a weird actually.
Looking at it right now is a weird container to grind into is a sort of shape that is just a bit odd.
I could imagine coffee get stuck in that.
It's just throw a little handful in.
I'm not sure I want to grind this whole handful like a hand grinder.
All right, look.
Look.
See, At the state of this, we've gone kind of that medium medium.
Fine, I guess.
Okay, that's kind of a mess.
I mean, that's a mess.
These grounds are ultimately what I would expect to see from a cheap hand grinder.
They are wildly variable insiders.
There's some pretty fine pieces here.
There's a big old bowl dory pieces to I'm not gonna be grinding anymore coffee with this because that's just a waste of everyone's time.
20 quid.
You get what you pay for.
And then we got these things.
We got to French presses and they did this one in a bunch of different sizes.
I really only saw this in this side.
This this is the one that feels like you will break it within the first week.
Right?
You'll just tap it on the kitchen counter by mistake, and it'll be gone.
Gone forever.
Super lights and cheap.
Not particularly into it on the face value.
This little junkie boy, I'm I'm a little bit into this like it's one of the most expensive things in the whole run, I think was £27.
It is big.
It's a good volume in here.
It's jewel wallet, stainless steel.
It's not make a stunning quality here.
Like the way that is brushed at the bottom is very different to the more merit sides.
No.
One here.
The plastic just feels cheap because it's cheap as someone who doesn't really press French presses and check up here.
If you want to see that video, this is kind of good, like it will keep the heat.
Let's get some coffee into it.
Let's let's get some water boiled.
Let's get some coffee into it.
We're gonna brew just 1/2 liter in each one, which they can comfortably accommodates.
I've got 37 a half grams of coffee in each.
75 grams of liter is kind of where amount for a French press.
Make sure you get old, you know, evenly saturated.
Now I don't worry about thermal loss, but some people do, so we'll leave the lid on a little bit down.
We're not gonna press right.
We're never gonna press.
You're gonna do this.
You could just press it down until it's the liquid and that's enough.
Don't you worry about anything else.
So these they're not gonna brew anymore.
They're gonna just sit, hang out the things the fines will fall to the bottom.
It'll be good, but they're not brewing that are extracting anymore.
So don't freak out.
But I'm gonna make some coffee and not drink this coffee, okay?
Because we have to talk about these.
These are the poor of options for Mike.
Here on, they're basically the same, but not so you've got this set up, which is, um, like a repurposed funnel.
I just have no idea what's with the pointy bit at the bottom, other than it's literally a repurposed funnel.
And then they seem to just stuck a little piece on here sort of badly.
Is that actually attached to him?
I presume that's most happen.
You can put like a V 60 paper in here.
And you you've got some Reggie type things that they have sort of made a small effort with, But it does come with this, which is what the other little glass Carafa comes with, which is a metal reasonable filter.
Metal mesh is tiny holes.
No need for a filter paper.
These are as far as I can tell.
Identical inside.
With the exception of the outside, on the rim of the this one, there's a little handle.
Toe help you lift it off.
Like apparently, if it's in the glass thing, you don't need help lifting it off.
You just pick it up like that.
Let's let's make some coffee with them.
Considering that this is identical to that, I'll not use this one.
I'll put a paper filter in here.
Ah, no brew this as intended.
Now, this does have some markings on the side, right?
Some some little lions.
They haven't told you what they are.
I feel like they're looking me and you on all of us.
Seriously?
I mean, is it 100 mils?
200 mills?
I don't know.
I have no answers for you.
And a mad was do.
Why?
20 grams to say 1/3 of a liter.
So I'm gonna brew this the way I would brew of e 60.
This is not just an excuse to make you go back and watch all my old brewing guys.
But there is a link to a bar and got up in that corner there.
If you'd like to click and have a little look with metal, you need to grow.
And just that little bit finer because there'll be no resistance from the paper.
So the whole brew will happen a little bit quicker that way.
All right, we'll leave you here to drain out.
Let's put a filter paper in this and see how we go with that.
Our tails right now, try to rent a filter paper and sink.
This is this is a horribly designed brewer designed by somebody who has never used it or intend to use it before.
When you stick a giant finally bit through the bottom What what do my doing with this?
What is this is awful.
This is awful.
Now, in looking for something to brew on top of with this monstrosity, it seemed a good chance to use this.
The little travel thermos that came from Mike here today.
The V 60 paper does not fit this well.
This feels like it's draining a bit slower than the 60 Would, um, I don't really know why.
I think it's just because this hates me and I hate it and we understand each other that way.
See, this sometimes happens with Ken Mexes.
Okay, where the seal ends up being too good or something I don't even understand.
Oh, enough of you.
So what have we got alongside our little trouble?
Famous should also test our little travel cup, which is a pound.
And don't you feel it when you hold this?
So that's a pound.
What?
And then we got trouble.
Press these cups Care for my cancer?
Maybe that good These metal filtered pour over coffee which to me is entirely fine if often a little bit muddy are big Chucky boy, hope clean.
Pretty good.
Really pretty good trouble cup.
I'm not an entirely, you know, surface level person.
But you know, I'm not that shallow and vain despite the hair.
But if I was walking out on the street holding this, I feel not proud of myself.
This is I mean, I feel like I'm drinking from a child's cup.
I mean, it's definitely a cup that has a lid that is a pound.
The fancy trouble thermos.
This comes with a special lid.
So in theory, this is sealed right now and then you would click it to drink and click it again to seal it so in theory, nothing comes out.
But nothing does come out, which is a great relief.
And then we can open to drink.
That's exactly as hot as a fresh brewed coffee in the Thermos is.
That's not a particularly good pour over because that poor ever is trash is made of trash.
I think I just found a metal in the skip out.
The back was sort of roughly shaped into a funnel.
And then, I don't know, I just hate it.
I just hate it.
This I quite like That's okay.
This little trouble famous.
I don't hate it.
I love the colors, but it does not leak when you don't want it to leak this.
I'm not that into these cups of kind of fine.
This is one my heart so far now, not really.
And the little the little nonsense here.
No.
Now I would I would not go and buy a proper one from someone like Harry Oh, or one of those other companies that do these and do them well.
I'm not sold that the glass will be long lasting on this thing.
There is one brewer left, and that is the mark apart.
type thing.
I will need to do a little bit of a sit.
Jane, get my induction.
Hob ready to do that while they do that.
I'm gonna tell you about the video sponsor, which is North VPN that has enabled this journey that we've all taken so far.
North VP enacted the service that I use as a VPN on.
I like a VPN for a few different reasons.
Firstly, it adds a layer of privacy to your activity online.
It would mean that someone like your I S P I couldn't see your traffic more than that for me, it acts kind of like an ad blocker, preventing me being tracked across the web in a way that I just don't like it all.
Now, as someone who travels a lot being able to act like my laptop is in, whichever country I want is actually super useful not just for watching which of a version of Netflix that I fancy that day.
It's also incredibly useful if I'm somewhere like China, where there's a firewall that would traditionally stop me.
Accessing the service is that I need every day.
Now, if you're curious and you want to try it out.
Is the link in my description down below and you'll get 70% off a three year plan.
There's 24 7 customer support on There's a money back guarantee to thank you so much to North VPN for sponsoring this video.
Let's get back to the copy stuff.
So we return to to do the market pot type deal, which is kind of interesting now, had a pleasant surprise.
A quick test.
This is no aluminium and it works on induction.
Hobbs directly.
Just great news.
So, to the bottom of this, we're gonna add our hot water if you look up there, I bet there's a video about had a brute with moka pot that I helped make.
That would be good.
So coffee not tamped down.
Not super far in the ground, a little tightly locked in against Gasquet.
Little handle.
I'm not against this.
Hey, so we're brewing.
So a quick rinse with cold water just to stop it brewing and we have coffee.
This is our 40 p little little glass thing.
I'm gonna put a lot of coffee.
Hick is one strong and to I'm a bit conflicted that it works on induction, I think is a super big win.
I think that's great, that it works on induction.
I think it's ugly as nothing is ugly.
It's pretty ugly, right?
That's not That's not a beautiful thing, but it's cheap.
It works an induction.
It seems reasonably well made the handle.
I like more than I feel like I should.
And if you use it right, you get a nice cup of coffee out of it, too.
So this is a kind of medium endorsement.
If you don't think this is hideous, it's not bad.
It's really not that bad.
Before we wrap those one more thing.
There was a corrupt.
They're on.
I wanted to know if all crafts are bad crafts.
And if a cheap like aircraft was a bad idea.
Correct?
Does it poor mostly?
No, it does not.
I mean, how hard is it to get a spout toe?
Focus, Liquid?
Look.
Look at this.
Look at this.

Who is signing this off?

Is this like a chunky boy?
French press?
Uh, pretty great.
Actually.
This this is the only thing I will regret giving away or feel some level of sadness will miss it in any way.
The rest of it, we kind of mixed bag.
Okay to just awful, uh, bigger.
That's what happens when you go to work here and you buy everything they have that makes coffee and you test it.
