Grey Product Color Collection

A porcelain brewer with 400 years of history

Made of minoware clay, the Origami Dripper carries 400 years of history of minoware production of the Gifu region, famous for its washi paper and pottery.

Minoware is a ceramic-making technique some 400-500 years old and only a few dozen artisans left in Japan still know the craft. By purchasing a Origami Dripper, you are bringing this rich tradition into your coffee brewing routine.

Excellent Brewer compatible with both wave and conical style filters

Made with high density clay, the Origami has excellent heat retaining properties. When used with the conical filter, the 20 folds encourages faster brew time by enabling faster airflow. When used with a wave style filter, it can be used as a flatbed brewer.

A 62-degree conical dripper with a built-in stand that sits on your carafe and keeps the flow even from bloom to drawdown

The DragonFly CT62 from DragonFly Design Center is a new bone china conical dripper with a 62-degree interior angle, built to hold the filter close and keep the flow even, available in Grey, Black, and White. Its built-in stand rests on the rim of a carafe or serving vessel, so it brews straight into your server on its own.

How the DragonFly CT62 Manages Flow

The interior is an original DragonFly Design Center design, refined through repeated brewing tests to reach a uniform flow rate. The goal is a balanced drawdown, which helps prevent clogging and over-extraction and preserves the coffee's aroma and flavor.

The cone is set at 62 degrees so the filter paper sits snugly against the inner wall. With the paper in steady contact, water percolates through the bed at a repeatable rate from one brew to the next, keeping extraction consistent.

The Shanwen Armor Exterior (山文甲)

The CT in the DragonFly CT62 refers to its exterior texture, based on Shanwen armor (山文甲) from China's Tang Dynasty. The 62 refers to the interior cone angle.

The Shanwen design is an original concept from medieval China that takes a flat pattern and builds it directly into a three-dimensional form. DragonFly Design Center brought that approach to the dripper as a contemporary geometric exterior: curved surfaces and facets cover the full body, and the geometry repeats across it, giving the surface depth and perspective from any angle.

The built-in stand follows the same Shanwen Jia pattern, with one corner extended to form the handle, so the dripper and stand carry one visual language.

Brewing with the Built-In Stand

The built-in stand sits on the rim of a carafe or serving vessel and holds the dripper securely in place while you pour. Three curved sections at its center surround the bottom of the dripper to keep it from slipping.

One corner of the stand extends into a handle. It rises slightly at the tip and has concave and convex details on the top and underside, giving a secure three-finger grip when you set the dripper on the carafe or lift it off after drawdown.

The DragonFly CT62 brews 1 to 2 servings and takes V60 size 01 and 02 conical paper filters.

Specifications

A Mino ware porcelain stand that holds your chasen upright to dry, so the tines keep their shape from one bowl of matcha to the next

A chasen whisks best when its tines are evenly spaced and curled. Bamboo is at its softest straight after whisking, and a wet whisk left on its side or set down tines first dries with flattened or splayed tines. Once that shape drifts, the whisk aerates less evenly, and a fine, tight foam on usucha becomes harder to build.

The ORIGAMI Porcelain Matcha Whisk Stand is a small Mino ware porcelain rest, made in Japan, that holds a matcha whisk upright after use so the tines dry in their natural shape. In Japanese tea practice this tool is called a kusenaoshi, a whisk shaper.

How the ORIGAMI Whisk Stand Keeps a Chasen in Shape

The whisk sits inverted on the stand, handle up, with the tines resting around the porcelain form. Supported this way, they dry following the curve of the stand instead of pressing against a flat surface, and the inner and outer tines keep their spacing.

The stand is open at both ends, with a narrow opening at the top and a wider one at the base. This leaves room for air to reach the inside of the tines while they dry, rather than trapping moisture against the bamboo.

Mino Ware Porcelain

ORIGAMI makes the stand in Mino ware porcelain, part of a ceramic tradition with roughly 400 years of history in Japan’s Gifu Prefecture. The dense porcelain body is heat resistant to 120°C (248°F) and safe in the microwave and dishwasher, so it is easy to keep clean alongside your chawan and other tea tools.

Product Details

Using the Whisk Stand

After whisking, rinse the chasen in warm water, shake off the excess, and set it handle up on the stand to air dry. Leave it there between sessions, whether you whisk usucha daily or knead koicha now and then, so the tines are already in shape when you next pick it up.

The dishwasher and microwave guidance applies to the porcelain stand only. The bamboo whisk itself is best rinsed by hand in warm water and left to dry on the stand.

The Stand

•     Upright drying form: Holds the whisk handle up and tines down, so the tines dry around the porcelain rather than flattening against a counter.

•     Open top and base: Leaves the center of the stand open so air can move through the tines as they dry.

•     Mino ware porcelain body: Heat resistant to 120°C (248°F). Microwave and dishwasher safe.

The Porcelain Surface

Each stand is glazed porcelain fired in the kiln. Depending on the color and the production run, the surface can show fine texture or small pinholes, a natural result of how porcelain behaves during firing.

•     Whisk Stand: ORIGAMI Porcelain Matcha Whisk Stand x 1
