Brewista – known as a rare coffee tool brand from the U.S., stands out with its unique products. Rather than following conventional designs, Brewista takes a different approach by blending art with coffee tools. Continuing the theme from our previous article, today, 3C Roastery explores: “Why should we own the Brewista funnel and server set?” Specifically, we will look at the Brewista Tornado Funnel and Server.
The Renowned Brewista Brand
From Q-Graders to coffee lovers, artists, and designers, Brewista products possess a unique quality that sets them apart from other tools on the market. This uniqueness ensures that Brewista tools stand out on the bar counter, distinctly different from those of other brands.
Brewista deserves to be an essential tool for any serious coffee enthusiast.
Superior Benefits of Material and Structure
Brewista Tornado Drippers are the latest addition to Brewista’s manual pour-over equipment. They are uniquely designed using thin glass to minimize heat absorption, which can cause temperature loss during the pour. The funnel’s interior structure is designed in a vortex shape to ensure even water distribution throughout the pouring process.
| Material | Thermal Conductivity λ ([W / (m · K)]) |
|---|---|
| Copper | 380 |
| Aluminum Alloy | 209 |
| Brass | 120 |
| Zinc | 110 |
| Stainless Steel | 50 |
| High-Quality Alloy Steel | 21 |
| Ceramic | 1 |
| Glass | 1 |
| Plastic | 0.04 |
The table above shows the thermal conductivity of various materials. Theoretically, “the higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the greater the potential for heat loss.” However, during the pour-over process, hot water is continually poured in, helping maintain a stable temperature.
Thus, when brewing coffee with hot water, the high thermal absorption of copper is a significant advantage. During brewing, the temperature remains consistent among the filter paper, copper funnel, and water.
What about glass funnels? Glass takes longer to heat up before brewing, but it has better temperature stability than metals. Thanks to its excellent heat retention over time, glass or ceramic funnels tend to maintain temperature, resulting in coffee with a richer aftertaste compared to other materials.
Quality Inside and Out
In terms of appearance, funnels made from this material are very attractive, especially the transparent glass. Owning a Brewista Tornado funnel made of glass will make you understand what 3C is talking about. It’s hard to resist the allure of watching water flow through coffee at eye level. However, you should consider carefully before choosing this delicate, fragile companion for your travels.
The Brewista Tornado funnel and server come in six stylish colors that suit every barista: Aurora, Bright Moon, Orange, Lavender, Shadow, and Starry Night. They are compatible with Hario Size 01 filter paper.
