Ori in ORIGAMI means "folding" and g(k)ami means "paper" which is the Japanese art of paper folding. This beautiful ORIGAMI Dripper is inspired by the spirit of playfulness and creativity, combined with delicate crafts. While it's visually is definitely appealing, to ensure functionality the product design team worked with many baristas to achieve the ideal blooming/dripping time and product shape. The 20 ribs creates air channels and keeps the brewing smooth and clog-free, which also provide great control over the dripping speed. Characteristics of Porcelain The following phenomena may occur even in products that are shipped as good products after inspection. Please be aware that these phenomena are unavoidable due to the manufacturing process and that they are characteristics of the product. Bleeding or blurring of logo The ORIGAMI logo is painted by a technique called underglaze painting, which means that it is printed under the glaze. Therefore, some of them may fuse with the glaze, causing blurring or bleeding. Also, since the logo is coated on top, it will not fade or come off during use. Iron dust Even white objects contain iron in the clay from which the vessels are made, which appears as black spots on the surface when the vessels are fired. Pinholes Glazed vessels may have small indentations that look like pins. This is a phenomenon peculiar to ceramics in which organic matter attached to the fabric during glazing is baked and forms small dents, and is not a defect. Individual differences in glaze (color and texture) Porcelain has a variety of expressions depending on natural conditions such as seasons and temperatures, as well as the glaze and the heat used during firing. For this reason, even vessels made of the same material will vary in color and texture after firing. The two items below are the same color, but the color intensity may vary depending on the time of production. (Left) Dark (Right) Light Uneven color, texture The thickness of the glaze may vary depending on the shape and thickness of the vessel, and the exposure to fire may cause the color and texture to be uneven in some areas within a single vessel. Example of uneven color Example of fine surface irregularities Example of numerous small holes in surface Weight & Size Due to manufacturing lots and glazes, there are individual differences in weight and size even for the same product. Therefore, the size and weight may differ slightly from the size and weight listed on the product page. Please understand.
