The ceramicist's source: clay
Their supplier, who couldn't be more local (a 10-minute drive from the Origami factory), transforms raw materials (stones, kaolin, etc.) into a clay slab that is delivered to Origami. This is a crucial step because the quality and sturdiness of the finished products will depend on this raw material. A dedicated R&D team researches the best recipes based on the properties of the raw materials.
The famous dripper
Origami was created in 2014 by two brothers, with the idea of producing the best accessories for baristas. It was with its famous dripper, launched in 2016, that the brand distinguished itself in the specialty coffee industry. The origin of the idea? Create a filter holder that allows Kalita Wave filters to be used as conical filters.
A factory that combines traditional know-how and technology
The brothers grew up in their father's ceramic factory, Koyo Toki, located in Toki, in the Gifu prefecture, and that is where the drippers and cups are produced. Part of the production is robotized, but many tasks are still done by hand. Production follows the pace of orders, no overproduction! The factory even has its own coffee shop / showroom whose goal is to promote local porcelain know-how and highlight the work of more than 300 ceramic artisans from Mino.
