Why do things the same old boring way that everyone else does them, when there could be a better way? We like to see the same philosophy in the products we sell; who knew that this type of thinking could apply to a knock box?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's start with the basic assumption: a knock box has to have a knock bar right? Wrong. At least, we now realise that this assumption, held by thousands of baristas around the world, is actually wrong. Sure, a knock bar seems to make sense. You can kind of understand why they were employed in the first examples of knock boxes, and have taken hold of the standard, but are they really necessary? It's a separate part. It's a bit harder to clean. It also can make things messy. Do we really need knock bars.... apparently not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sonner Knock Box is a stereotype-busting, perspective-changing, man-I-wish-I-had-thought-of-that revelation of a little knock box. It does the job, without a bar anywhere in sight. Instead, what does it have? We're not sure what to call it. You might call it a ledge. Whatever it is, it's pretty sturdy, because it's part of the knock box wall itself. It doesn't come off. It also doesn't get in the way of the warm soggy coffee grounds you're knocking to the bottom of the knock box where they belong. It's also easy to clean. Genius!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lack of a knock bar isn't the only thing that the Sonner has going for it though. It's beautifully designed, made of BPA-free durable plastic, with a non-slip rubber bottom and a striking tapered design that makes it look as good as it is clever. It's been rigorously (and roughly) tested out by the baristas at CCBHQ and it is up to the job; it will stay on its feet even when taking a serious knock.

Sestic conceived of his original distribution tool, now in its fourth generation, to address what he saw as one of the biggest impediments to consistent espresso extraction: channelling, as a result of uneven distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NCD is designed to quickly and easily distribute the ground coffee in an espresso portafilter, ensuring that the density of the puck is even throughout, before tamping. Uneven distribution can make tamping counterproductive as it can emphasise differences in density (clumping) rather than evening them out. Even distribution minimises the risk of channelling, where the water going through the coffee puck favours certain paths, leading to both over and under extraction in the same bed of coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis latest generation of Sasa Sestic's Coffee Distributor builds on some of the key original features such as the option to adjust the height to work with any 58mm portafilter and any size of espresso dose, as well as four fins for optimum redistribution.

There are so many variables to control, and then there are all these finicky circular pouring motions. Now, don't get us wrong; as certified coffee nerds, we love all of that stuff, and we do believe that great pour-over technique can contribute to great pour-overs, but, we also know that's not for everyone. What if it all could be just a little simpler?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt's time to simplify your pour-over brewer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese inventor Ryo John Ito, founder of Bathtub Coffee clearly was asking himself the same question. Unlike us, he's actually provided an answer in the form of the Simplify Brewer. This new pour-over coffee dripper which recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign is designed to take the complexity out of pour-over brewing and particularly pouring. In fact, Ryo recommends a single, centre pour in his brew method (which you can find below in text and video). No spirals, no pulse pours, not even a bloom! Can you hear manual brewing nerds around the world gasping?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's different about the Simplify Brewer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow did Ryo achieve this feat with this fairly unassuming-looking (though admittedly quite pretty) little brewer? It boils down to a handful full of very well thought out design elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, this dripper is designed to achieve minimal contact with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/kalita-wave-paper-filters?variant=34903837114502\" title=\"Buy some filters\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKalita 185 filters\u003c\/a\u003e that it uses. The filter only really makes contact around the base and along an edge, meaning that your coffee and water sit in the filter and make little contact with the brewer itself. That means smooth water flow and great temperature retention. In fact, the air trapped between the filter and the side of the dripper creates extra insulation!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only does the Simplify Brewer use a flat-bottomed filter (a style of filter coming into favour over wedges and cones) which leads to an even better flow rate, it also has a whopping 4cm aperture, meaning that it's your grind that determines the flow rate, not the dripper. This allows you to go \u003cem\u003efine\u003c\/em\u003e for maximum extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of these design elements combine to allow you to make a pour-over in almost half the time that you would with the other pour-over drippers out there, without any need for any fancy pouring techniques. That's quite something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBut it doesn't \u003cem\u003ehave\u003c\/em\u003e to be simple\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile all this simplicity will be reason enough for most people to buy this dripper, we actually just love the design and want you to realise that it is \u003cem\u003eversatile\u003c\/em\u003e. Yes, you can brew a very simple, very tasty pour-over, but, you can also use some of your technique and fine-tuned wrist skills, mastered on traditional pour-over brewers, and apply them to the Simplify Brewer with great effect. You basically have a dripper with a flat bottom, better flow, and better heat retention.

Channelling is the phenomenon where water will follow paths of lower resistance more readily than paths of higher resistance in the puck. This is typically caused by clumps or uneven distribution in the ground coffee. It leads to a combination of both over and under extraction.

The Compass features an adjustable stand that holds the infrared thermometer above a cup of coffee placed on its non-slip base, making it a unique and striking way to serve coffee to guests, customers (or yourself!).

The stand itself being adjustable means the Compass can be configured to fit all manner of mugs and glassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe utility doesn’t end there, either. The Compass also has an application at the brewing station: budding home baristas and professionals alike can take advantage of the thermometer to ensure they are comparing coffee samples at the same temperature, and to find what serving temperatures best bring out the highlights in their brews.

So in simple terms, what is it? To understand extract chilling, it is important to understand what the technique is attempting to accomplish. When you brew coffee, especially a pour-over, you will be greeted with a wonderful array of aromas from your brew. The substances being released into the air that your senses are actually detecting at that moment are called \u003cstrong\u003earomatic volatile compounds\u003c\/strong\u003e. These delicate compounds are released largely in the first stage of a brew, owing to the heat of the brewing environment. Extract-chilling seeks to keep these compounds from evaporating and lock them within the coffee by immediately \"shocking\" the fluid leaving the brewer.

Especially under an espresso machine, where boiling hot water is pumped at high pressures, it can be easy to get a little paranoid about your scale, especially when it's sitting on your machine's drip tray. With its eye for barista quality-of-life, Nucleus is here to solve this issue entirely with its latest product: the STEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Nucleus STEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STEM is designed by Nucleus Coffee Tools and, like all Nucleus products, it has the potential to drastically improve your espresso workflow. Specifically, the STEM is designed to allow you to measure your espresso yield while placing your coffee scale \u003cem\u003ebeneath\u003c\/em\u003e your espresso machine's drip tray instead of on top of it. Designed to fit on top of full-size coffee scales, the STEM is an adjustable stand that will hold your espresso cups over the drip tray, just under the group head, allowing you to harness the precision a scale gives you when pulling shots, without the risks or space constraints of having a scale under your cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring espresso yields has become a common practice, both for home baristas and at specialty coffee shops. In fact, there are now high-end machines with built-in drip-tray scales, though these tend to cost a small fortune as optional add-ons. The alternative to date has been small form-factor scales but these come with their challenges. They inevitably take up what is already a small space between the drip tray and the portafilter spouts. Even if waterproof, they are still at risk because of all the hot water and steam they come into contact with. Last but not least, they sometimes aren't as easy to use as full-size scales. The STEM eliminates all of these problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nHTcEckdg8k\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" style=\"display: block; margin: 40px auto;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its matte black finish, the STEM fits right into any aesthetically-conscious espresso setup.

In short: the STEM is everything you'd expect from a Nucleus product. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the professional barista and dedicated home barista alike, the STEM allows you to keep your countertop clean, your scale safe and your extractions precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Nucleus Coffee Tools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNucleus Coffee Tools was founded by former World Barista Champion, Sasa Sestic.

The \"naked\" or bottomless style of the portafilter, which exposes the flow of espresso through the filter, can be fascinating to watch while your espresso machine is at work. Despite their popularity today for aesthetic purposes, the origin of bottomless portafilters is actually rather practical: they were designed to allow baristas to \"debug\" their espresso shots, easily identifying channelling or other signs of uneven extraction. Bottomless portafilters remain an invaluable training and diagnostic tool today for this reason, and the fact that they're sure to catch the eye of any guest you prepare coffee for certainly doesn't hurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, being such a specialised piece of equipment, these portafilters are typically only manufactured for standard sized group heads.

The smell that a freshly prepared cup of coffee leaves in the kitchen is often highlighted by the coffee crowd as a key part of its morning ritual. Part of what makes the smell so distinct is that coffee itself contains a high number of volatile aromatic compounds which are released during the brewing process due to the heat of the brewing environment. Lovely as this smells, it also means that these particular aromas are released into the air rather than making it into your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/nucleus-coffee-tools\" title=\"See all of our Nucleus Coffee Tools products here.\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNucleus Coffee Tools\u003c\/a\u003e, the brainchild of former World Barista Champion Sasa Sestic, developed a solution to this problem in pour-over brewing with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/nucleus-paragon?variant=40170801332358\" title=\"Check it out here.\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethe Paragon brewer\u003c\/a\u003e, a unique device that uses a technique called extract chilling to hold onto more of those flighty aromatic compounds.

Setting it up is easy too. Simply place the mount in your espresso cup below the portafilter and group head, and place the chilled rock in the mount right before pulling your shot. The idea is that the rock cools your espresso down on impact, preventing the aromatic compounds that would otherwise evaporate at higher temperatures from dissipating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe point isn't to ice your espresso though. Your shot, in running onto and over the chilling rock is only briefly in contact with it, just enough to \"shock\" those aromatic compounds into remaining in the cup. But while your espresso is a little cooler by the time it reaches your cup than if it were pulled regularly, it should still be hot. Nucleus claims that this method allows one to capture and express up to 40% more key aroma volatile molecules than with an identical brew minus chilling. Given espresso's potential for flavour intensity and depth, which is arguably what makes it so exciting, this extra 40% is pretty substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paragon Espresso mount is adjustable in the sense that there are two heights depending on which way you have it flipped as it perches on the rim of a cup, to accommodate different cup and machine proportions. The chilling rock that sits inside of it is 30mm in diameter, a little smaller than the one that fits the standard Paragon and is made of titanium-coated stainless steel, giving it an attractive golden sheen. Its shape and the large surface area allow for even and rapid chilling as you pull your shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the sparkly surface is a dense liquid-gel core that freezes faster than water, and stays frozen (and hence colder) longer than in a hollow or water-filled alternative. This means that unless you're serving extract-chilled shots at a high volume, you won't need to spend much time waiting by the freezer between pulls. Even then, the Paragon Espresso comes with four chilling rocks and two stands, so you should have more than enough for a session of coffee-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already love the original Paragon, or if you're just looking for a way to inject your espresso with even more complexity and nuance, the Paragon Espresso is for you. And if you have any volume-related concerns, you can always pick up a few extra chilling rocks should the initial four not meet your needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cvideo controls=\"controls\" style=\"display: block; margin: 40px auto; max-width: 500px;\"\u003e\n\u003csource type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/861332037bdc465bbc5077baee2f6ffd.mp4#t=2\"\u003e\nYour browser does not support our video.\n\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNucleus Paragon Espresso features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtract chilling technology captures and retains up to 40% more aroma-volatile compounds from your brew, taking your espresso to the next level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 2 x lightweight, height-adjustable stands with no-slip grips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 4 x 30mm titanium-coated stainless steel chilling rocks, with liquid gel centre for fast and prolonged freezing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMount specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W x L): 34mm x 120mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial - Electrophoresis powder-coated aluminium (centre), silicone (grips)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChilling rock specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (diameter): 30mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: food-safe titanium-coated 304-grade stainless steel, with liquid-gel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll included product images belong to Nucleus Coffee Tools.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nucleus Coffee Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40358726369414,"sku":"NUC-PARAGONESP","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/5548\/files\/Paragon-Espresso-Open-Box.jpg?v=1699606753"},{"product_id":"nucleus-paragon-espresso-extract-chilling-rocks","title":"Nucleus Paragon Espresso Extract Chilling Rocks","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\nh2 {margin-top: 40px;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/nucleus-coffee-tools\" title=\"See all our range of Nucleus Coffee Tools products here.\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNucleus Coffee Tools\u003c\/a\u003e, the brainchild of former World Barista Champion Sasa Sestic, is known in the specialty coffee space for its fantastic products that combine cutting-edge science with stunning design.

Brewing with high-quality water is essential to brewing delicious coffee consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relationship between coffee and water is interesting and somewhat complex, and you can learn more about it \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/blogs\/cape-coffee-blog\/the-relationship-between-coffee-and-water\" title=\"Read more about the relationship between water and coffee\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eright here\u003c\/a\u003e, but here’s the gist of what you need to know: tap water is typically filled with a number of dissolved solids, minerals such as calcium, fluoride, and magnesium. Tap water’s taste and texture (you may have heard the terms “soft” and “hard” water before) is altered by these compounds. Moreover, water’s extraction potential is affected by its mineral content, which plays a significant role in how your coffee will brew and taste. Finally, it’s worth noting that water’s mineral content is also the reason for limescale buildup in coffee and espresso machines, which can be a massive pain to deal with if you aren’t careful to maintain and protect your equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater filters are a great place to start when trying to improve your brewing water, by removing some unwanted minerals and bad flavours caused by the chemicals used to treat tap water.

It is most well known for its line of mineral supplement sachets formulated specifically for brewing coffee. These sachets contain a mixture of sodium, magnesium and calcium in optimal ratios for brewing coffee when added to distilled water. Not only does this improve the taste of the water itself, but specifically optimises its pH and TDS (total dissolved solids) for coffee extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird Wave Water’s sachets are formulated using the Specialty Coffee Association’s water standard as a template, which most specialty roasters adhere to when tasting their coffees. This means that when using Third Wave Water, you can be sure you’re tasting the same flavour notes that the roaster tasted, and thereby getting the most out of your coffee. Moreover, Third Wave Water’s mineral sachets also minimise limescale buildup, so they protect and extend the lifespan of your kettle, espresso machine and other brewing equipment too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird Wave Water offers a handful of different mineral profiles formulated for specific roast levels and brewing types, and a full sachet of each is meant to be used with 2 litres of distilled water.

From weighing out your dose to pouring your water (preferably with a tasteful gooseneck kettle), the whole process is wrapped in a layer of ritualistic intentionality, and anyone who’s gone through the effort would likely agree. Pour-over brewers themselves are generally pretty elegant devices, but none are quite as elegant as the Origami dripper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/origami\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"See all of our Origami products here\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOrigami\u003c\/a\u003e is a relatively new pour-over dripper, though it's been seen on the World Brewers Cup stage a number of times now, and it's as unique as it is pretty to look at.

Not only does this give the brewer its signature form-factor, it’s also the key to its greatest asset — its versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Origami something of a game changer is that it is compatible with both \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"View them here\" href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/hario\/products\/hario-v60-coffee-dripper-paper-filters\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eV60-style cone filter papers\u003c\/a\u003e and flat-bottomed “wave” filters (such as \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Check them out here\" href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/origami-coffee-dripper-wave-filter-papers\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOrigami's own\u003c\/a\u003e). This means that with one brewer you have access to both flat-bottomed and cone-style brewing methods, and all the benefits they each have to offer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn case you didn’t know, here’s the difference. Conical brewers tend to brew coffees with lighter bodies and a clean, bright acidity. Flat-bottomed brewers, on the other hand, tend to brew full-bodied coffees, and highlight sweetness. We’re painting in broad strokes here though, and there are myriad brewing variables other than brewer shape that determine what ends up in your cup, such as roast degree, grind size, filter material, and your water’s mineral content. But the point is that with the Origami you don’t have to choose between one or the other. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, there‘s an important design quirk aside from the aforementioned vertical ribs that differentiate the Origami from its two closest cousins: its diameter. Compared to the V60, the Origami has wider external and internal openings. The upshot is that, all other variables being the same, the Origami has a faster flow rate than the V60 when using conical filters. Whether or not this is a pro is for the user to determine, but a potential benefit is that you could grind finer without fear of stalling your brew, increasing your extraction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, the Origami actually has a slower flow rate than the Kalita Wave when using wave-shaped filters. The potential upsides of this are a little less clear, but it could allow you to get even more sweetness into your cup with a coarser ground coffee that still benefits from a longer contact time than it would experience when brewed with a V60. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother key difference between the Origami and its cohort is that it doesn't feature a built-in base. It’s still compatible with certain servers (so long as you’re mindful not to fill them to the point that your brewed coffee submerges the tip of the brewer), but for other servers and for brewing directly into a single cup, you might want \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"View it here\" href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/origami-dripper-holder\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethis attachable base\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all, the Origami dripper is a uniquely versatile pour-over brewer. Compatible with both conical and flat-bottom filters, it’s the perfect choice for the budding home coffee enthusiast who isn’t sure of which style of brewing suits them best. And, if you already have a V60 and\/or Kalita Wave, you can always pick up an Origami if you just find it really pretty — spend any time on the manual brewing side of social media and you’ll see that most enthusiasts tend to share that opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize S -

You may hear TDS, RDT, WDT, and others used with the full expectation that anyone in the coffee space will understand them. As the South African distributors of Nucleus Coffee Tools, we're quite proud that NCD is another acronym that has come to occupy that same pace in coffee professionals' minds. The Nucleus Coffee Distributor (NCD) - the predecessor to this device - isn't just instantly recognised by any seasoned pro. It's not just behind the machine at most of the specialty cafes you love. It's the pioneering product, invented by former World Barista Champion, Sasa Sestic, that started the focus on puck prep and distribution, and it is still the distributor of choice in busy cafes around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the original NCD spawned a whole category of coffee distributors, the original design is still the most common in a commercial setting. Why? Because it is the only type of distributor that is not only effective, but also practical in a cafe setting. You see, not many customers are going to queue for extra time while baristas rake their coffee pucks with acupuncture needles. That's why the NCD is the distributor of choice for baristas around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, that doesn't mean the NCD was perfect. Some (especially users of acupuncture needles) point out that the NCD's fins can't penetrate to the bottom of the puck, and that is true. That doesn't mean it doesn't drastically improve distribution, but it may have left a bit of room for improvement. That's where the new NCD Pulse comes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than forcing the barista to waste precious minutes breaking up clumps with needles, the NCD Pulse improves both horizontal and vertical distribution by employing vibration. Rechargeable via a USB-C compatible, easy to access stand, this new NCD pulses in a way that quickly agitates the bed, and in a mere 2 seconds (literally) it perfectly distributes the espresso puck. That means that it's not only more effective than the previous NCD; it's also still eminently practical in a busy cafe setting!

The Origami has neither the spiral ribs of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/hario\/products\/hario-v60-pour-over-coffee-dripper\" title=\"Purchase the Hario V60 to take control of your brewing variables and make delicious coffee!\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHario V60\u003c\/a\u003e nor the flat walls of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/kalita\/products\/kalita-wave-pour-over-coffee-dripper?variant=34902198943878\" title=\"Try the Kalita Wave with its flat-bottom brew style for excellent pour over coffee\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKalita Wave\u003c\/a\u003e, but instead opts for vertical folds, hence the name. Not only does this give the brewer its signature form-factor, it’s also the key to its greatest asset — its versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Origami something of a game changer is that it is compatible with both \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Buy cone filter papers\" href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/origami\/products\/origami-coffee-dripper-paper-cone-filters?variant=42987043750022\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eV60-style cone filter papers\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca title=\"See the Wave filters here\" href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/origami\/products\/origami-coffee-dripper-wave-filter-papers?variant=41412447568006\"\u003eflat-bottomed “wave” filters\u003c\/a\u003e. This means that with one brewer you have access to both flat-bottomed and cone-style brewing methods, and all the benefits they each have to offer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn case you didn’t know, here’s the difference. Conical brewers tend to brew coffees with lighter bodies and a clean, bright acidity. Flat-bottomed brewers, on the other hand, tend to brew full-bodied coffees, and highlight sweetness. We’re painting in broad strokes here though, and there are myriad brewing variables other than brewer shape that determine what ends up in your cup, such as roast degree, grind size, filter material, and your water’s mineral content. But the point is that with the Origami you don’t have to choose between one or the other. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, the Origami actually has a slower flow rate than the Kalita Wave when using wave-shaped filters. The potential upsides of this are a little less clear, but it could allow you to get even more sweetness into your cup with a coarser ground coffee that still benefits from a longer contact time than it would experience when brewed with a V60.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, there‘s an important design quirk aside from the aforementioned vertical ribs that differentiate the Origami from its two closest cousins: its diameter. Compared to the V60, Origami brewers have wider external and internal openings. The upshot is that, all other variables being the same, Origami brewers have a faster flow rate than the V60 when using conical filters. Whether or not this is a pro is for the user to determine, but a potential benefit is that you could grind finer without fear of a stalled brew, increasing your extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of the Origami Dripper is the original, made of porcelain, which is what its manufacturers are known for.

Intended for conical drippers only, it is used to create a divot in your bed of coffee, improving pre-infusion and promoting even saturation from your first pour, whilst also reducing the risk of channelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uz8ZUv9Fwks?si=3BlAbS1zyItds2xh\" style=\"margin: 40px auto; display: block;\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNucleus Bloom features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-needle configuration:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight: optimised for conical brewers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan: best for flat-bottom brewers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy twist, retractable switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomisable needle layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose-made needles, corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatic reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowTip measured indentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact \u0026amp; portable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNucleus Bloom specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody L (needles retracted): 115mm; (needles out) 160mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody W: 28.99 - 30.98mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle L (total):  67mm; (protruding from Bloom) 45.36mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowTip: 36.88mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody - thermoplastic, aluminium, silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedles - Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate weights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal (with needles): 45g, (without needles): 43g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal with packaging: 191g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare needles: 8g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nucleus Coffee Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43082460692614,"sku":"NUC-BLOOM","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/5548\/files\/bloom_hero_product_image.jpg?v=1769504614"},{"product_id":"tough-coffee-mat-small-black-with-slot","title":"Tough Espresso Tamping Mat With Slot","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing industrial manufacturing expertise, Tough Coffee creates high-performance gear engineered specifically to elevate daily \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/espresso-accessories\" title=\"Browse more espresso gear\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eespresso workflows\u003c\/a\u003e.
