Overall Verdict
The Hario Mizudashi and the Primula Burke are both relatively popular and attractive, but regardless, neither is a brewer we would recommend. The sourish brew produced by the Hario is largely due to a poor brew ratio, a non-airtight design, and a nylon filter that is too short.
The Primula produces a weak and insubstantial brew because the filter is too fine thereby inhibiting sufficient cross flow. However, the twist-to-pour lid is very handy, and the inner core of the lid unscrews for easy access to the filter or for stirring the contents.
