Designed for the manual, pour-over style of brewing, the Ceramic Coffee Dripper brews extraordinary coffee right into your cup or serving vessel. The conical shape allows for deeper layering of the coffee grounds, producing a rich umami flavor. The single large hole provides the ultimate freedom; you can pour the water quickly for a light flavor or slowly if you like your coffee rich. Spiral ribs on the dipper walls allow the air to escape for maximum coffee expansion. The durable ceramic body retains heat to help ensure a constant temperature throughout the brewing cycle. The dripper is made from Arita-yaki, a traditional style of Japanese ceramics with a history of 400 years. The heat-resistant glass pot is microwave safe. It also includes a scoop along with paper coffee filters.
