I've been using this for the last 6 months or so. Wanted to switch from French press. This makes a great cup of coffee and is super easy to use and clean. Getting another one for my camping gear. Would highly recommend at this price.
Just used this and drinking a cup of coffe now. Use it daily. It's awesome for one person. I combine it with a kettle that heats to 190F, a great temp for coffee. Simple. Effective, Cheap. Highly recommended.

I have this. You will need to soak in vinegar often to remove calcium buildup. It's fine for one person, otherwise just get a 5 cup Mr. Coffee.
As already mentioned, this is entirely dependent on your water source. If you have hard tap water, use RO/filtered/bottled water, and you won't have any mineral buildup. FWIW, I purchased mine four years ago, and have never had any issues with mineral buildup.
Honestly, if you're considering this, maybe take a look at a Vietnamese coffee maker. It's cheaper, made of metal and doesn't need filters.
Fair points, but a phin filter is going to create a very different style of coffee in the cup vs a standard filtered pour over. The lack of filter is going to give a fuller body (think French press), and the stronger brew ratio and compressed grounds will result in a more concentrated brew (think moka pot).
I've been using one of these for over 3.5 years. Makes a great cup of coffee really easily in conjunction with any electric kettle. The only downside really is you can get some staining that isn't the easiest to clean.

I mean this is largely based on your water supply. Use distilled to avoid the issue and it still comes out cheaper than buying a cup at a chain.
I would discourage the use of distilled water, because though will it will keep your gear clean, it does not adequately extract coffee. The SCA recommends an ideal total dissolved solids (TDS) level of 100-150 ppm. I use reverse osmosis water with baking soda and epsom salts added in a roughly 1:3 ratio to achieve the desired hardness. Water that is too soft will produce coffee with a thin unsatisfying mouthfeel, and will do a poor job at extracting the pleasant aromatic compounds present in good coffee. Water that is too hard lends unpleasant mineral flavors and leaves residue on the brewing equipment. Goldilox water that is not too hard, nor too soft, paired with good beans, could produce a great cup with this dripper.
