The mood ticket of the reviewer

Slightly above by this dripper. It works very well, a good restitution of flavors, a good production of vapor but a quality of finish which is not exemplary for the price. An average packaging but which has deserved to exist unlike many Filipino products. At this price, I would have liked to have had an adjustable 510 connection.
