Let’s Talk: Origami Dripper
Hi everyone!
Let’s talk about the Origami Pour Over dripper. Whether you are new to brewing your own coffee or whether you are an experienced home-barista, the Origami Dripper is an excellent tool to brew delicious coffee.
Features:
Made of Japanese porcelain, which heats quickly and is easy to clean.
Has 20 “folds” that allow air to flow through the dripper, which prevents clogging and keeps the coffee extracting evenly.
Available in 2 sizes. We use the S size for single cups (10-20g coffee) and the M size for double cups (20-30g coffee).
Available in multiple colors, which allows you to express yourself and find one that you love!
Pairs with a wooden holder or a resin holder, to match your preference.
Compatible with V60 filter, Kalita filters, and Origami filters.
Brew Guide:
Measure out your coffee. We recommend using a 1:16 ratio of coffee to water. For example, if we start with 20g of coffee, we will put in ~320g of water.
Grind your beans to a medium-fine consistency. We recommend grinding them fresh with a burr grinder to maximize the flavor.
Set up your brewer over a carafe or mug.
Put in your filter and rinse it with hot water (this removes some of the papery taste from the filter). Discard the rinse water.
Put your grinds into the filter and dig out a small hole in the center of the bed.
Bloom your coffee by pouring 2x the amount of hot water as your grinds (for example, if you started with 20g of beans, pour 40g of water). Start by pouring in the center of the bed and making your way outwards in a spiral.
Wait for 45 seconds to allow the coffee to de-gas.
At 45 seconds, begin pouring slowly in a spiral shape. Reach the final weight of water at ~2:00.
Allow the coffee to drip fully through the bed. Target end time should be around 3:00.
Enjoy your coffee!
Re-adjust for next time. If your coffee tastes bitter or took too long to drip, consider making your grind a little more coarse. If your coffee tastes weak/ sour or dripped too quickly, consider making your grind a little more fine.
And that’s all there is to it! Once you have the basics down, don’t be afraid to try something new and experiment on your own. At the end of the day, you should brew and drink a cup of coffee that you find delicious- not one that perfectly follows a recipe. Enjoy!
