One Elegant Brewer, Endless Brewing Possibilities
The Yama Silverton Coffee & Tea Dripper transforms your brewing routine with remarkable versatility and stunning visual appeal. This beautifully crafted brewer seamlessly handles pour-over coffee, cold brew, and loose leaf tea—all in one elegant device. Featuring hand-blown borosilicate glass, a reusable double-wall stainless steel filter, and a sophisticated black wood base with silver accents, the Silverton combines artisan craftsmanship with practical, multi-method brewing capability. Perfect for coffee and tea enthusiasts who value flexibility, sustainability, and design excellence.
True Multi-Method Brewing Versatility
Three Brewing Methods in One Device
Unlike single-purpose brewers that clutter your countertop, the Silverton adapts to your brewing mood:
1. Pour-Over Coffee Brew clean, bright, flavorful pour-over coffee using the included stainless steel cone filter or paper filters (Kalita 185 compatible). The 16oz capacity is perfect for sharing—make two generous 8oz cups or one large personal serving. The controlled flow rate through the cone filter allows for proper extraction timing and optimal flavor development.
2. Cold Brew Coffee Transform the Silverton into a compact cold brew station by adding coarse-ground coffee to the filter cone, filling with cold water, and allowing 12-18 hours of slow extraction. The result is smooth, low-acid cold brew concentrate that's perfect for iced coffee drinks—no separate cold brew maker needed.
3. Loose Leaf Tea The stainless steel filter cone works beautifully for steeping loose leaf teas, allowing full leaf expansion while keeping tea leaves out of your cup. Perfect for green teas, black teas, oolongs, and herbal blends. The heat-resistant glass beaker doubles as an elegant tea server.
Premium Hand-Blown Borosilicate Glass
Crafted by Master Glassblowers
Each Yama Silverton is individually hand-blown from premium borosilicate glass by skilled artisans who've perfected their craft over generations. This isn't mass-produced glassware—it's functional art that brings beauty and precision to your brewing ritual.
Why Borosilicate Glass Matters
Borosilicate glass is the gold standard for coffee and tea brewing:
- Heat-resistant: Withstands rapid temperature changes without cracking
- Non-porous: Doesn't absorb coffee oils, tea tannins, or flavors
- Chemical-free: No BPA, no leaching, completely food-safe
- Dishwasher & microwave safe: Easy care and versatile use
- Crystal-clear visibility: Watch your brew develop for perfect timing
- Exceptionally durable: Harder and stronger than standard soda-lime glass
Pure, Untainted Flavor
Because borosilicate glass is completely non-reactive and non-porous, every brew tastes exactly as it should—pure, clean, and true to the coffee or tea you're using. No residual flavors, no chemical interference, just authentic taste.
Reusable Double-Wall Stainless Steel Filter
Zero Waste, Maximum Flavor
The included stainless steel cone filter features a double-wall mesh design that eliminates the need for paper filters while allowing essential coffee oils to pass through into your brew. These natural oils carry flavor compounds that paper filters trap, resulting in a fuller-bodied, more aromatic cup with richer mouthfeel and enhanced complexity.
Sustainable Brewing Choice
By using the reusable stainless steel filter, you eliminate:
- Hundreds of paper filters per year
- Ongoing filter replacement costs
- Environmental waste from disposable filters
- Dependency on specific filter sizes or brands
Paper Filter Compatible Too
Prefer the ultra-clean taste profile that paper filters provide? The Silverton accepts Kalita 185 paper filters and other cone-shaped filters, giving you complete control over your brewing style. Switch between metal and paper filters based on your coffee, mood, or method.
Elegant Black Wood Base with Silver Accents
Functional Beauty for Your Coffee Bar
The Silverton sits atop a handsome black wood base (6 5/8" × 8 1/4") with polished silver accents that elevate this brewer from utilitarian tool to countertop showpiece. The natural wood construction provides:
- Stable, level brewing platform that protects your countertop
- Heat insulation between the hot glass beaker and your surface
- Sophisticated aesthetic that complements any kitchen décor
- Professional presentation worthy of display
The black finish with silver metal accents creates a timeless, versatile look that pairs beautifully with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, or modern minimalist design.
Perfect 16oz Capacity for Sharing
Sized Right for Daily Use
The 473ml (16oz) glass beaker is thoughtfully proportioned for real-world brewing:
- Two 8oz cups – Perfect for sharing with a partner or guest
- One generous 16oz mug – Ideal for solo brewing when you want a larger serving
- Compact footprint – Doesn't dominate your counter space
- Easy to handle – Manageable size for pouring and cleaning
This capacity hits the sweet spot between single-serve brewers that make too little and large-batch systems that make too much, making it ideal for couples, small households, or anyone who values freshness over quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this for both coffee and tea without flavor transfer? Yes! Borosilicate glass is non-porous and doesn't absorb flavors or oils. Simply wash the glass beaker and stainless filter between uses, and there will be no flavor carryover. The glass remains neutral brew after brew.
How is this different from a regular pour-over dripper? The Silverton is a complete brewing station with an integrated serving beaker, whereas most pour-over drippers require a separate carafe. It's also multi-functional—designed for pour-over, cold brew, AND tea brewing. The included wood base provides stability and elevates the aesthetic.
Do I need to buy paper filters or can I just use the metal filter? The reusable stainless steel filter is designed for daily use without paper filters. However, you can use Kalita 185 paper filters if you prefer the ultra-clean taste profile paper provides. The choice is yours—use metal for sustainability and fuller body, or paper for brighter, more delicate flavors.
How do I clean the stainless steel filter? Rinse immediately after brewing to prevent coffee oils from drying. For deep cleaning, soak in warm water with a drop of dish soap, then scrub gently with a soft brush. The filter is also dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
Is the glass beaker really dishwasher and microwave safe? Yes! The borosilicate glass beaker is both dishwasher and microwave safe. However, the wood base should be hand washed only—never submerge wood in water or place in dishwasher.
What grind size should I use for pour-over with the metal filter? Use a medium grind—similar to what you'd use for drip coffee. Too fine will cause over-extraction and slow dripping; too coarse will result in weak, under-extracted coffee. Experiment to find your preferred balance.
Can I make cold brew concentrate or just regular cold brew? You can make either! Use a 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio for concentrate that you'll dilute before drinking, or 1:8 for ready-to-drink cold brew. Adjust based on your taste preferences and how you plan to serve it.
How long does the brewing process take for pour-over? Pour-over coffee takes 3-4 minutes from start to finish. This includes a 30-45 second bloom period followed by continuous pouring over the remaining 2-3 minutes.
Is 16oz enough for two people? Yes! 16oz makes two generous 8oz cups, which is perfect for sharing. If you prefer larger servings, it makes one substantial 16oz mug for solo brewing.
What's the difference between this and the Yama Silverton with copper accents? Only the aesthetic finish—this version features a black wood base with silver metal accents, while the alternative version has a brown wood base with copper/brass accents. The glass components, filter, and functionality are identical.
Can I brew directly over a cup or do I need the base? The wood base is integral to the design—it provides stability during brewing and protects your countertop from heat. The beaker sits in the base during brewing, then you pour from the beaker into individual cups for serving.
How fragile is the glass? While borosilicate glass is significantly stronger than standard glass, it is still glass and requires reasonable care. Handle with attention, avoid extreme impacts, and hand wash for longest life (though dishwasher safe). Many users enjoy years of daily use with proper handling.
