ORIGAMI was born from baristas’ desire for better coffee tools. The brand was developed at a time when interest in Specialty coffee was growing rapidly, with the ambition to create professional products adapted to modern brewing. The starting point was to work closely with baristas, learn from their needs, and develop alongside them.
A large part of the production takes place in Toki City in Gifu, an area known for its long tradition of Mino ceramics. This was also where the first dripper took shape. The design was inspired by the balloon flower, the city’s flower, and refined through repeated testing until it gained the 20 ribs that characterize the series today. Over time, ORIGAMI has become a name used by baristas worldwide, appreciated for its consistent quality, considered design, and ability to combine functionality with a distinctive visual identity.
In this collection, you’ll mainly find two interpretations of the same brewing concept: porcelain models for those who appreciate weight and a classic feel, as well as lighter AS resin variants that are especially well suited when you want low weight at home, in the office, or while travelling. All main models are made in Japan, designed for 2–4 cups, compatible with both conical filters and wave paper filters, and designed to provide good air circulation and controlled water flow through the characteristic 20-ribbed shape.
