The Craft of Extraction: Origami Dripper – Ceramic
The Origami Dripper is a functional work of art, inspired by the ancient Japanese tradition of paper folding. Crafted in Gifu, Japan, using Mino-yaki porcelain, this dripper is prized by World Brewers Cup champions for its precise geometry and exceptional thermal mass.
Mino-yaki Porcelain Architecture
The ceramic construction provides significant thermal inertia, which, when properly preheated, maintains a rock-solid brewing temperature. Its 20-rib design isn't just aesthetic; it serves a vital technical purpose. By minimizing the contact area between the paper and the dripper wall, the Origami M ensures optimal airflow and prevents the vacuum effect, allowing the brewer to push for finer grind settings without the risk of clogging.
Dual-Filter Functionality
Whether you prefer the clarity of a conical filter or the even extraction of a flat-bottom wave filter, the Origami M accommodates both. This allows you to toggle between a bright, tea-like structure and a heavy, syrupy mouthfeel using the same brewing tool.

Maintenance & Care
The high-density porcelain is dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand-washing to maintain the integrity of the glaze over time. Always ensure the dripper is placed on a stable Origami Holder (sold separately) to ensure a level coffee bed during brewing.
