$14.50 for the small (plastic) dripper; $7.50 for 100 white paper filters. I've always been curious about KONO vs. V60, so I ordered.

Also the OE 3-4-5 pitcher is on sale for $19.50, and R.I.P. Lido glass jars (except as parts).

I'm curious how the Kono filters compare to the V60 filters. And are they interchangeable? Let us know what you think!

I have the larger Kono filters, similar to the V60-02 size, as opposed to the smaller ones OE is stocking, similar to the V60-01 size. I use them in my V60-03 dripper when I want to brew 500ml. They fit well and don't leave a paper taste. I use them because the white Hario filters are nowhere to be found here in Taiwan. Everyone is scared of the white filters, so the only option is the brown, which have a horrible paper taste. Fortunately, some enterprising individual started bringing in the Kono filters.
