I’ve actually used the filter cone and it works (how can it not?) but it is circular and #2 plastic filter cones are kinda oval to better fit the flat paper cones.
I have a one cup coffee maker at home, and instead of using the “gold” mesh filter I use a #2 and just flatten out the bottom a bit… works just fine and no filter to clean.
@radi0j0hn A Hario V60 filter (which is actually conical) looks like it might fit better. I guess I’ll find out for sure when my set arrives. (“amethyst-mulish-channel”… ‘channel’ is certainly relevant, but ‘mulish’ is a bit worrisome)
Excellent… now I just need a deal on decent small sized fans with good air flow for the kiddos when they go to camp. Cabin sleeping gets a bit sweaty July in Texas.
Side note, to any avid campers, I won’t need the three coffee filters in my kits if anyone nearby Flower Mound (TX) is interested or if someone else wants to pay shipping - I would be happy to shoot them your way.
@ConradHilton Excellent. My user name here at Meh @hotmail dot com (no numbers, spaces or other weirdness) is one of my e-mails. Shoot me a way to reach out to you and once my shipment comes we will figure something out.
I’ve been looking for camping gear and a mess kit specifically… but I just can’t figure out what’s good about any of this, even for this price. Somebody convince me please.
@orken411 But $12 for stuff that I’ll never use and eventually add to a landfill seems like a lot of money. Unless I’m missing something and there’s a good use for any of this. Maybe I could cook in the aluminum cup/bowl?
JFC I just ordered one of these. I’m sure if I saw it at REI it would be on the shelves with the cheap God awful crap up by the registers and I would have dismissed it as garbage. But I just ordered one of these. I’m not sure why. Sunday is a good day for questioning one’s life choices.

Almost makes me wish I went camping. But I bought a house with air conditioning and a bed so I didn’t have to sleep outside.

@radi0j0hn Thank you for posting this, as the coffee cone was the main reason I wanted (and just bought) this.
@radi0j0hn so it does need a filter, right?
@radi0j0hn see link, the base is round but the filter is oval:

Off topic but you forgot Black coffee in bed by Squeeze
@Amila99 and @Jasontoon you also forgot Prince…
Starfish and Coffee
@Amila99
I thought the same thing, but also wondered about Black Coffee by Black Flag.
Wait… what? I’ve enjoyed coffee in several orifices but never my ears?
@awk So, you’re not Gallaxhar living under an assumed identity?
I like my coffee black
@ThatsHeadly Brilliant! Were we all high then?
Dimensions / capacity on the bowl and cup?
@katbyter Per Amazon: Bowl- 12 oz.
Cup: 10 oz.
I have them from the other set and enjoy using them- but I almost always use them in their paired-up state.

Booo! Sell more knives plzzz

@Serafyna dallas resident here. I’m interested.
@Serafyna also, bonus, flower mound is just a few minutes out of my way on my trip to work.

That is one funky sporknife!
This will live in my car til I go camping and realize I forgot to bring any number 2 coffee filters with me.
/giphy nostalgic-obligated-llama
@ConradHilton I’ve used paper towels in the past and they work great when you don’t have filters.
@factotum thanks for the tip
@ConradHilton
Cute giphy there…real cute
Can we change meh to wew for a day?
So, where’s the left-handed version of this “Booma” utensil? Pretty useless to 10% of the audience.

@iynque It’s $12

FYI: I looked the filter holder up online and it is OVAL and the filter should fit perfectly. This is a great deal, but sadly I don’t need any of it.

@ahhhpancakes I’m going to have to go to cafe press and have robes embroidered with “Sunday is a good day for questioning one’s life choices” made up.
@ahhhpancakes
I find" cheap God awful crap" to be poor choice of word context to include God in. Unless God, for you is a lame buyer @Rei
@cecHoly I find opinions surrounding religious beliefs and preferences moot on public forums
Anyone know how big the holes are on the coffee maker?
