The Gabi Drip Master B

What a wonderful device. Have been using it for a month and couldn’t be happier. No more clogging for me!

Consistently mellow taste, very decent compared to the effort required

I have had this drip assist device by Gabi for almost 2 months. I have researched several recipes, watched youtube videos on how to best use this device.

Since using this device with my V60, Origami and Kalita wave I have had excellent cups of coffee. The clarity that is a result of the even extraction acts as a great fail safe for doing a fast flow rate.

Most people will wonder should you get this over the melodrip? To be honest I personally believe its up to user preference. The Gabi dripper must sit on top of the device and if not using it from the first pour you would need to tare your scale and continue.

The Melo drip on the other hand requires you to use one hand on the kettle and one on the handle of the Melo drip. So it depends on your comfortability. Another plus to the Melo drip is it can get closer to the coffee bed unlike the Gabi.

At the end of the day I prefer the Gabi as it allows me to focua more on my pour and it is a larger drip assist then the Melo drip.

I am glad I made this purchase and it is certainly my go to for most coffee recipes.

This brewer really brews very very sweet and balanced filter coffee due to low agitation. It also packs up so nicely that you can bring everywhere with you. The best part? you do not need to pack a goose neck kettle with you while traveling! Just need hot water to pour into the reservoir and whoa la you can brew your own delicious coffee while traveling!

This clever showerhead device from South Korea that fits on top of my Kalita (or V-60) is giving me far better performance than hand-pouring directly into the grounds, and has eliminated "stalling" caused by hydrophobic coffees and fines. Unlike the Melodrip showerhead which requires you to manually hold the device at a consistent height while rotating the device over the coffee grounds and pouring water into the device simultaneously, the Gabi B fixes the height on the top of the filter container (Kalita, V60) and just requires water poured into the center chamber and outer chamber in intervals like you normally do for a pour-over. It produces a soft rain-drop pour that every coffee seems to respond to well. This is most welcome if you're pouring an exotic/exclusive coffee and don't want to waste your money on dialing in your pour.
One tip: it seems to work best to pour your bloom manually, then finish the pouring with the Gabi B.
This is my second Gabi B as I gifted the first one to a friend who was travelling overseas. The first one did seem to have some holes that needed a pin push thru to open, but the new one from Eight Once works perfectly.

Works well for a no bypass percolation dripper. It does not provide sufficient agitation for normal pour overs to achieve optimal extraction though.
