Brand Stories: ORIGAMI
What comes to mind when we say, “origami”? Do you think of smooth colored sheets of paper, a crane, or even of complex instructions? For us, our mind goes to the brand that is passionate about coffee — hailing from Gifu, Japan, meet ORIGAMI.
ORIGAMI’s passion for coffee is reflected in their mission and products. Their mission is simple, to “make good coffee around the world”. With the belief that, “a cup of coffee enriches everyday life, connects people, and opens the door to a new world,” the brand works very closely with professional baristas to create best-in-class products specifically for the purpose of brewing and drinking coffee.
It’s important to note that ORIGAMI’s roots go far past the origins of third wave coffee. With 400 years of ceramic making experience, customers can expect an excellent and beautifully crafted product with a rich history. The name “ORIGAMI” was inspired by the unique shape of their staple product — the coffee dripper. In Japanese, “Ori” means “folding”, and “g(k)ami” means “paper”. The dripper was designed with the spirit of the playfully colorful, creative, yet delicate craft loved for centuries in mind. Its 20 ribs create air channels and keep the brewing process smooth and clog-free, which in turn allows for great control over the dripping speed.
Outside of the ORIGAMI dripper, the brand creates mugs and cups to complete the full coffee drinking experience. As a part of their mission, they want to optimize the warmth of a coffee cup, the heightening of aromas, and of course, the taste of freshly brewed coffee.
So whether you’re a professional barista who wants to use the best tools in the trade, or simply a fan of brewing quality coffee daily in the comfort of your own home, the ORIGAMI dripper is designed for it all.
