Review: Gorgeous - This is gorgeous in person. Better than in pictures. The prettiest of the Kalita drippers. Since I've got about $6,000 worth of Mauviel copper cookware, I know from experience the easiest stuff to use for polishing copper is Wright's copper cream. Barkeeper's Friend works well too, but there will always be very fine scratch marks on the copper when you use it (not scratches in a bad way on copper cookware, but on something this small you may not like them). Wright's copper cream won't have this issue. Also, the best way to keep copper from tarnishing is polishing regularly, once a week or so. Copper almost looks pink when fully polished, and only gets that orangey copper color we think of as copper after a few days of oxidation. At any rate, I wouldn't worry about it that much, but it will be easier to polish this regularly rather than letting the oxidation build up until it's harder to remove. For the inside another reviewer mentioned they thought this was tin-lined. My first copper pots from Mauviel bought from Williams-Sonoma at the end of the 1980s were tin-lined. My newer ones are stainless inside. Tin-lined copper almost looks hand painted on, so I assume this is stainless steel. Either way, if you want to keep the interior polished and blemish-free I'd try using Wenol on it, again, about once every week. You want to keep it clean before you get more stubborn blemishes adhering over time (as you will with copper even just by leaving it out and doing nothing -- it will pull it in from the air, literally). Stay on top of it if you want to keep this looking new, or embrace the patina. Fun fact: Copper actually looks prettier (and more like what we think of as copper) with about three days worth of tarnish than it does perfectly stripped of it. Bonus, this also arrived at my door earlier than expected, in just ten days from Japan. I bought this because I like the aesthetics, but I also bought the stainless version (which I consider not very attractive, but more attractive in person than in pictures). I use the stainless most days, and the copper when I want to simply enjoy the ritual. I also bought the .6 liter smallest version of the Alfi Hotello carafe and put the dripper right on it instead of a glass carafe or mug. This way the coffee stays hot long enough to enjoy it. (It's cold almost immediately in a glass carafe.) To use this this way, since there's no marking for 500ml to guide you, you need to use a scale. For a 1:16 ratio of coffee to water, your coffee should be 32 grams for this larger size dripper (with the Kalita 185 filters), and the water weight should be 512. So add the Alfi Hotello (or similar) to the scale, add the dripper with the filter and the ground coffee, tare the scale to zero, and add your water until the scale reads about 512, then remove, close the lid on the Alfi Hotello, and it will stay warm long enough for you to enjoy two cups of coffee in succession. (FYI, the Alfi Hotello design is ingenious, it was designed for waiters pouring in restaurants. The lid is about 1" thick and hollow, and it's hinged when you pour. I guess the hollow lid traps heat and keeps the coffee in the carafe hot. There's no gasket or anything, but it works. There's also no glass chamber inside to break easily. (I use the 1 liter version of the Alfi Hotello with my Moccamaster, and was so happy with that design I bought this second smaller one and realized it would be great for pour over directly into a carafe that would stay warm. It's also a nice design to keep by your bed or guest bed filled with drinking water for the middle of the night.)
