As a self-proclaimed coffee enthusiast, my collection of coffee makers is extensive, including French presses, pour-over drippers, Aeropress, and even a siphon machine. However, for daily use, my husband and I often opt for pour-over methods. Among our favorites are the Hario V60 and Kalita Wave, but recently, the Origami Dripper has captured our hearts.
The Origami Dripper’s unique design, inspired by Japanese paper folding art, sets it apart. It features a striking cone shape with 20 creased edges that channel water into a hole slightly larger than the Hario V60’s. While the Hario’s hole is about the size of a dime, the Origami’s is slightly larger, akin to a nickel. Available in various colors and materials, including ceramic and resin, the Origami Dripper requires a separate collar for stability, which can be purchased separately.
If you prefer something less sharp and richer, just grind the beans more finely.
FAQ What are the different sizes the Origami dripper comes in? The Origami dripper comes in two different sizes: a small dripper that brews one to two cups of coffee, and a medium size that makes one to four cups of coffee. Both of them are available in a variety of colors. Neither come with a collar, which you can purchase separately in a wooden or resin version, or as part of a package bundle.
