The Kinto 4 Cup Dripper stands someplace between the Hario v60 and Chemex in terms of flavor extraction. The opening at the bottom is nearly twice as large as the v60, it has the 90 degree angle of the Chemex, and the ridges inside are straight down which produces water flow like the Chemex . When us d with the Chemex filters and courier grinder setting, the flavor results are nearly the same as the Chemex. At the same ime it is easier to use and clean than the Chemex.
