ORIGAMI Ceramic Dripper - Small for 1-2 Cup Brewing

Brews 1-2 Cups – popular size for morning ritual and competition brewing

The ORIGAMI Dripper Small is sized for 1-2 cup brewing, for the morning ritual or on coffee competition stage.

Handcrafted in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, the ceramic heartland of Japan, the ORIGAMI Small Ceramic Dripper carries the same Mino-yaki porcelain tradition as its larger counterpart: a craft four to five hundred years old, practiced today by only a few dozen artisans. In your hands it is a brewer. In theirs it is a continuation of something much older.

The 20-fold interior works with both conical and wave style filters, giving you the freedom to brew to the cup you want, not the equipment you have. Conical filters encourage faster airflow and a brighter extraction. Wave filters settle the flow, producing something fuller and rounder. The porcelain holds heat steadily through both.

A Craft Worth Knowing

Mino-yaki is the ceramic tradition of the Toki area in Gifu Prefecture, a region long celebrated in Japan for its pottery and washi paper. The techniques used to produce ORIGAMI Drippers are the same ones that have shaped ceramics in this region for generations, refined over centuries and carried forward by the artisans who remain.

The ORIGAMI Dripper was designed by the founder of Trunk Coffee in collaboration with these makers. The result is a brewer shaped by both the culture it comes from and the demands of specialty coffee. It has been used by World Brewers Cup competitors and sits equally well on a competition table or a kitchen counter.

Excellent Brewer compatible with both wave and conical style filters 

The 20-fold interior of the ORIGAMI Dripper Small does two things well. With a conical filter, the folds create airflow channels between the filter and the dripper wall, encouraging faster, more even extraction. With a wave filter, the flat bed geometry changes the brew dynamic entirely, slowing flow rate and producing a fuller, rounder cup. One dripper, two distinct approaches.

The high-density Mino porcelain retains heat through the full pour, keeping the brew bed temperature stable from bloom to drawdown.

The ORIGAMI Dripper Small brews one to two cups, holding up to around 25 grams of dry grounds. It is the right size for a morning pour over or Brewers Cup competition

Recommended Set

A dripper collar or holder is strongly recommended to stabilize the ORIGAMI Dripper during brewing and prevent it from sitting directly in the server. The ORIGAMI Wooden Holder and ORIGAMI AS Resin Holder are both available separately and sized for this dripper.
