Non plastic coffee cone recommendations (self.coffee)

Anyone have a recommendations for non plastic cones for pour over?

I usually use one like this (#2) for individual cups. I also use this larger one (#6) to make coffee directly into my large thermal coffee carafe when people are coming over. Being able to sit on top of the carafe is a great feature.

It’s been almost 10 years since I bought these so wondering what else people are using now.

Melitta, Hario and various others offer pour-over cone things made out of ceramic. I agree I’d prefer that to a plastic one as anything involving plastic and boiling water seems like a bad idea to me.

I prefer the glass versions to ceramic, as ceramic really sucks the heat out of the slurry. Hario has a beautiful glass v60. Also I have the new glass Orea V3 flat bottom brewer.

One of the advantages of plastic is it's really low thermal conductivity compared to even glass. You're right about glass vs ceramic. Ceramic is about 100x more thermally conductive than glass. Ranked by least thermally conductive to most it's plastic, glass, stainless steel, and ceramic. Each is roughly an order of magnitude greater than the previous.

Of course you can overcome this with anything by warming it before use.
