A narrow-profile espresso cup for clarity and speed.

Part of the Sensory Series, the Narrow Espresso Cup is designed to deliver espresso with precision. Its focused shape accelerates flow, producing a sharp, defined tasting experience that highlights structure and intensity.

Designed to Control Flow and Perception

The Sensory Series Espresso Cup [Narrow] is developed to enhance how specialty coffee is experienced through shape-driven sensory control. By treating the cup as an active variable rather than a neutral vessel, the Narrow style reshapes how espresso enters the mouth and how its character is perceived.

Fast Entry for a Sharper Expression

The defining feature of the Narrow style is its accelerated liquid flow. The tighter opening and vertical interior guide espresso quickly onto the palate, creating a crisp, focused sensation. This rapid entry emphasizes clarity and sharpness, allowing acidity and structure to appear more pronounced from the first sip.

Shape as a Tool for Flavor Selection

Differences in shape and wall thickness directly affect flow speed and mouthfeel. Compared to the Round style, the Narrow cup reduces dwell time on the tongue, resulting in a leaner, cleaner profile. This makes it particularly well suited to washed coffees, lighter roasts, or espresso expressions where definition and precision are key.

Part of a Flexible Coffee Service Approach

Developed within the Sensory Series, the Narrow Espresso Cup reflects modern café practices that present multiple expressions of the same coffee—such as serving espresso alongside milk beverages. By selecting cup shape according to bean processing, roast level, or intended presentation, baristas and drinkers can fine-tune the sensory outcome.

Made from Japanese porcelain, the cup balances functional precision with durability, making it suitable for both professional café use and everyday home espresso rituals.

Crafting Beauty and Function in Specialty Coffee & Matcha Tools 

Founded in Gifu (岐阜市), Japan in 2013, Origami Japan—under the K-ai (株式会社ケーアイ) brand—has been dedicated to crafting elegant, functional tools for the specialty coffee and matcha communities. Renowned for its vibrant aesthetics and refined craftsmanship in original pottery (陶器), Origami has earned a global following among baristas, brewers, and tea enthusiasts alike.

Inspired by Japanese Artistry

The name "Origami" comes from the traditional Japanese art of paper folding—symbolising precision, creativity, and simplicity. This philosophy is embodied in every product, blending minimalist beauty with functional design to bring more joy and elegance to everyday brewing rituals.

Design Meets Ritual

Origami products—ranging from colourful ceramic drippers to sleek matcha series—are designed to enhance both the visual and sensory brewing experience. Durable, and ergonomically refined, they cater to professionals and home brewers who value both performance and aesthetics.

Celebrated Worldwide

From championship stages to cozy home kitchens, Origami has become a beloved brand in the global specialty scene. With a growing presence across coffee and tea cultures, it continues to inspire creativity and connection through the simple joy of brewing.
