Don’t let its simplicity fool you. The Ceado Hoop is an amazing brewer.

The Hoop has every attribute of a great manual dripper:

• Requires little-to-no skill
• Requires little barista attention (this is especially valuable to cafes)
• Offers low risk of astringency
• Makes even extractions easy to produce
• Offers almost automatic consistency

Just pour the water in the outer ring, walk away, and 3–4 minutes later, you have incredible filter coffee.

Like the Pulsar, Tricolate, and Filter3, The Hoop is a no-bypass brewer, which means astringency is easy to avoid, and The Hoop produces high extractions using a relatively coarse grind. The small-diameter brewing chamber provides a deeper bed than most no-bypass brewers.

The genius of The Hoop lies in the allowing the barista to pour all of the water at once, while limiting the height of the slurry.

THE HOOP: $35

UPGRADED FILTERS: $10

The Hoop comes with a pack of 100 filter papers. The standard filters require a coarse grind to yield the recommended 4:00 brew time.

We strongly recommend the optional upgraded filters as an add-on for those who want to use a finer grind to achieve higher extractions with excellent flavor clarity, in the same 4:00 brew time.
