It isn't said nearly often enough that pour-over coffee brewing is an elegant process, one that combines precise technique with ritualistic intentionality. For this reason, pour-over brewing equipment tends to be quite elegant itself, and while we evidently love it all, we have to concede that at least as far as aesthetics are concerned, few pour-over brands hold a candle to Origami.
Origami is a Japanese coffee brewer maker whose manufacturing facility is located in Mino, a city in the province of Gifu with four centuries of artisan craftsmanship legacy to its name. Inspired by the Japanese paper folding art after which it is named, Origami is committed to both delicate artistry and pinpoint precision, a design philosophy that becomes evident at first brush with any of its strikingly stylish drippers.
Having gained its initial notoriety after featuring in Jia Ning Du's 2019 World Brewers Cup Championship winning set, the Origami dripper has since made regular appearances at similar brewing contests and all over the specialty coffee social media space. What makes this dripper unique, above its undeniable form factor, is its versatility. The Origami dripper is compatible with both conical and flat-bottomed filter papers, so users don't have to buy separate brewers for each method. And, more importantly, it makes delicious coffee with either brewing style. We're very proud to be Origami's South African distributor.
