As I sat down to write this review with my first Hibear coffee, (my first pourover, too, as I’ve been a French press lass since always) I was so distracted by the coffee’s smoothness that I lost all train of initial thought regarding what I wanted to say. This is the second time today that I’ve been thoroughly impressed with this wonderful gadget. I made nettle tea about an hour ago and I was amazed by the fullness of the brew. I could never get this kind of fullness in a dinky teabag or even a teapot.
I work as a petsitter and I stay in my client’s homes. I often drag French presses, teapots, and other kitchen accouterment to their homes. The versatility of this thing is phenomenal— it reduces how many items I need to pack. One of my clients doesn't have many dishes, and I was able to use the sleeve to serve my morning oatmeal. (NOTE: I DIDN’T put the sleeve in the microwave.)
I got Road Trippin’, and while it’s lovely (& it color-coordinates with my phone case), I kinda wish I got a Nite Hike with a purple sleeve, as that suits my personality a little more (and I love the mountain art under the sleeve).
& Hibear’s customer support is very helpful! Something went wrong with my original filter and it wouldn't close properly, and reporting the defect to get a replacement was very easy.
I appreciate the multi-functionality of this bottle so much that I was brought to tears & shouted "shut up and take my money!" while watching the demo videos before I bought it. #designgeek #thankyoufortakingmymoney
I bought a portable electric tea kettle when I was a sophomore in college. That was in 2006, and it still works today in 2023. I hope my Hibear water bottle lasts 5ever.
