Bizen ware drippers to make your coffee tastier

Bizen Pottery with a Thousand Year History

Bizen ware mugs are ceramics made in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture. Bizen ware is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan and is a traditional craft with a thousand-year history.

Bizen Pottery has a warm flavor that lets you feel the texture of high-quality clay as it is, and is simple yet powerful in nature. Since Bizen Pottery is fired without glaze and without painting, its color and surface change depending on the conditions inside the kiln during firing.

The potter who created this coffee dripper, Tsuneki Naoto, uses an anagama kiln instead of a climbing kiln, which produces a brighter orange color than typical Bizen ware. The charm of Bizen ware, which can express various hues depending on the way the kiln is fired, is fully utilized.

Bizen ware and coffee go perfectly together!

From the late Muromachi period , Bizen ware was also favored as tea ceremony utensils. Even today, a wide variety of tableware is produced using Bizen ware techniques. In fact, Bizen ware and coffee go very well together, partly because of Bizen ware's breathability.

Bizen ware is fired without glaze, so the uneven surface has minute pores. The ventilation created by these pores keeps water fresh and mellows the taste of coffee and sake. Bizen ware coffee drippers are items that make coffee more delicious.

There are several other reasons why Bizen ware is excellent tableware. Bizen ware is easy to heat and hard to cool, allowing you to enjoy warm beverages while they are still warm. For example, the uneven surface of a beer tumbler helps to keep the beer bubbles fine and the aroma fresh, while a plate has the advantage of preventing water from evaporating and keeping food from drying out. Bizen Pottery, which can be used in everyday life, has many advantages that are made possible by the natural power of high-quality clay.

Everything is one of a kind! Coffee drippers to enjoy individuality

Bizen Pottery is much favored by many people as a work of art. Due to the effects of the high heat and ashes during the firing process, no two pieces are ever the same. It can be said that the individuality of each piece is what makes it so valuable.

This coffee dripper is similarly molded and fired in the same way, but the expression of each piece is all different. You can enjoy Bizen ware as your own unique dripper.

Coffee Dripper Detail 1

Versatile for any cup or pot

The coffee dripper is of course recommended for use with mugs and coffee cups from the same Bizen ware series, but it can also be used on any commercially available coffee pot or mug.

The bottom of the dripper is approximately 10 cm in diameter, with three holes side by side to slowly extract the coffee.

If you set it in a coffee pot, you can brew enough for several people at once, and with a mug, you can adjust the amount of coffee to drip for one person. Since the depth of hand-drip coffee is still something to look forward to, we recommend researching your own favorite drip coffee.
