Origami is a brand known for products that excel in both function and aesthetics. Its best-known items are its beautiful Coffee Drippers which are as versatile and effective in pour-over brewing as they are beautiful. Origami’s Japanese designers and manufacturers have now turned their attention to a tool that every coffee professional uses: the cupping spoon, and have succeeded in creating something that is also both striking and practical.

Unlike other cupping spoons, Origami’s are made of porcelain, the same material which many of its iconic drippers are made of. This material offers many benefits including heat retention, longevity, and also a complete inert surface that doesn’t affect the flavour of the coffee it comes in contact with. They have designed these porcelain cupping spoons with a practical, ladle-like shape and a broad oval handle, both of which help to prevent spilling while cupping.

As with everything that Origami produces, these spoons are also stunning to look at, making them a pleasure to use. Both the material and the shape are as aesthetically pleasing as they are practical.

Cupping is the speciality coffee industry's standard method for tasting and assessing coffees. It aspires to eliminate the confounding variables of brewing to give an unadulterated glimpse into the quality and potential of a coffee. Consistency in variables is important, so we'd encourage you to check out the SCA's suggested protocols.
