The lone premium exception here is the vacuum-insulated Fellow Stagg [X], because insulation—not branding—does measurable work. Beware paying

Three-hole base and corrugated Wave paper limit filter-wall contact, giving a more forgiving flat-bed extraction than single-hole cones. Steel body survives drops; needs a thorough preheat before brewing.
