The Tricolate (pronounced TRICK-O-LATE) brewer combines different elements of other brewers before it, claiming that it is perfect for beginners and experts, and we agree. Some of it's features include: Built in dispersion screen (employing a similar concept to the Melodrip) that is designed to evenly shower the brewing water over the grinds, controlling both the saturation of water on the grinds and the flow rate This shower screen also eliminates the need for a gooseneck kettle (which is one of the reasons why it's so great for new brewers, one less piece of equipment to buy!) The cylinder design allows all of the coffee to stay in contact with water the whole time which promotes more even extraction and eliminates high and dries! The filters are German manufactured with lab grade paper The wide flat bottom dripper increases the surface area of the coffee, increasing contact time and extraction
