BIG JOE CUSTOMER REVIEWS
I was excited to see Big Joe coffee makers were lightweight, within our budget, had great reviews, could make plenty of coffee for our crews, and could even be used with the kettles that went with our original percolators!

Finding the best setup was important to nail down before we hit the road. We trialed and errored (more the latter) pour over options that just didn't quite cut it. Most were too cumbersome, messy or didn't perform well taste wise. Then we stumbled across @bigjoecoffee and found a more than capable pour over.

Great for Camping — Made pitchers of coffee while camping! So glad my husband bought this.

Badass Pour over! — I bought this for my husband for Christmas. We are notorious for breaking our coffee pot. I also hate cleaning coffee pots. This is an awesome alternative to a coffee pot and much cleaner too! Highly recommend!
— Lina S
You can't beat BIG JOE's ease of cleaning and so far it smokes both my Grandmother's percolator and my drip machine for flavor. On top of all that, it's portable and durable. Can't wait to take it on my next camping trip.

Loving my Big Joe–love the ease and flavor of pour over coffee but my previous attempts were tedious with 1-4 cup capacity. This is AweSome! Usually just make it into my thermos but can just move it to everybody's cups when making for more. Will love taking it camping with us too.

We even did a taste test between Big Joe and Hario using respective filters from each brand and Big Joe did really well! It was a cleaner tasting coffee as well as value for money! I LOVE it!

This product is awesome! I really enjoy pour over coffee and needed something for my days at kids sporting events. Big Joe is perfect for the single cup and for making a thermos for a long day on the lacrosse field. The coffee even tastes better than with other pour over products I have used.
— Dan B
I love my Big Joe! The shorter the path between grounds and cup, the better the coffee. Period. Nothing beats Big Joe for this. If it were made of porcelain, that would be the ultimate for purists. But the tiny dash over plastic is minuscule compared to 99% of other methods where plastic tanks, scaly carafes and filthy rubber tubing cancel flavor. Thank you!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW TO USE THE BIG JOE COFFEE MAKER
- Pick your favorite carafe, coffee mug, or cup and place Big Joe® on top.
- Add filter and coffee to the Big Joe® drip coffee maker (see chart) For pour over/drip coffee, grind should be drip-style, which is typically a coarse grinder setting and should resemble the size of kosher salt.
- Boil water. Water should be around 205° F for best flavor extraction. To start, pour enough hot water in a circle to evenly wet the grounds then pause, letting the coffee “bloom” for 20-30 seconds. This releases gasses from the coffee. Then pour the remaining water in even circles. Depending on the amount of coffee being brewed, you may need to refill Big Joe® 2-3 times.
- Aim for a pour time based on the chart and the amount of coffee being brewed. You can use a coffee scale to ensure you have the right amount of coffee for the amount of water you’re using. Wait for all the water to drain from Big Joe® before removing it from your cup or carafe. Place Big Joe® drip coffee maker on a plate or in the sink after use.
How to Brew the Perfect Pour Over:
To adjust the brewed amount, the recommended water to coffee ratio is approximately 12 oz of water to 20 grams of ground coffee, whether it’s a light small batch roast or a heavy dark roast or somewhere in between. You can use a coffee scale to measure your ground coffee and adjust the amount of coffee to your taste.
Pour times listed do not include the drain time, which is generally under 2 minutes for each fill-up. If your drain time runs slow, set your coffee grinder to a larger grind size on your next batch. Too fine of a grind size can lead to over-extraction.
When brewing large batches directly into your thermos, stir the brewed coffee in the thermos to ensure brewed coffee is not stronger at the bottom of the thermos and lighter at the top. However, acidity will increase over time as exposure to oxygen occurs, raising the pH level. We recommend drinking your coffee shortly after brewing to avoid increased acidity in the coffee.
Place filter in Big Joe and then wet the basket coffee filter slightly and let the water drain out prior to adding the coffee grinds. Some believe this helps ensure that any flavors introduced by the filters are removed prior to brewing coffee. Discard the water from the wetting process before proceeding. If your coffee is from a small batch roaster and you want to be certain that you bring out all of the delicious flavors during the brewing process, try this tip.
