Over the last several weeks I have reported on use of two old Silex filters, a ceramic one and a glass one (Lox-In), both of which are held in place through the use of a hook attached a spring that is itself attached to the filter, with my Hario. Yesterday I got my Cory glass filter that is held in place due to its own weight. I am pleased to say, after three uses, that it works almost as well as the two Silex filters despite the fact that it is not held firmly in place by the spring + hook device used by the two Silex filters. Since the Cory filters are usually cheaper than the Lox-In filters -- I haven't seen the ceramic filter offered for sale as a separate item -- I would suggest those who want to have a cloth/paper filter-free all-glass brew with the Hario to spring for a Cory filter.
