Upgrade your morning pour-over with these 15 beautifully designed coffee drippers, chosen by a certified barista

I test over a dozen of the best coffee makers every year, but sometimes you just can't beat a good pour-over — and a large part of that comes down to the dripper you use. Lots of factors can change the way your coffee tastes (grind size, ratio of coffee to water, water quality, and temperature being just a few), but the design of your dripper has a big impact as well.

For example, the size of the opening at the bottom affects the flow rate, the material (plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic) determines heat retention, and channels on the inside of the brewer can channel water over the whole bed of coffee.

Also bear in mind that different brewers take different filters, some of which are easier to find than others, or cost more. With all that in mind, here are 15 of the best coffee drippers to level up your brewing, with prices starting under $25.
