Overall Verdict
The Hario Mizudashi is a good-looking brewer. Its tall and thin glass carafe is designed to fit in any refrigerator door bin. However, having brewed just once with the Hario it was clear that costly coffee grounds deserve a better choice. The device is not airtight, the filter is too short, and the brew is sourish and weak.
The Bean Envy, on the other hand, consistently produces a strong and good quality brew for an immersion filter design. Its two-stopper design is quite unique with an additional pop-up silicone stopper for easy pouring. The filter is stainless steel and the carafe is glass.
