A New Dripper, Developed for Short Extraction
The Pinn Dripper is a collaborative design by ORIGAMI and LEAVES COFFEE ROSTERS, created with a clear purpose: to achieve a refined and balanced cup in a short extraction time.
Designed around an extraction target of approximately 1 minute 30 seconds, the Pinn Dripper helps highlight aroma, sweetness, and bright acidity while reducing the risk of bitterness, harshness, or muddiness that can appear when brewing time becomes too long. It is especially well suited to light-roasted coffees, where delicate fragrance and transparent flavour are essential.
55° Angle for a More Focused Coffee Bed
The Pinn Dripper uses a 55° angle, creating a more compact brewing geometry than the standard ORIGAMI Dripper. Compared with the regular ORIGAMI form, the opening is smaller, reducing the surface area of the coffee bed.
This allows water to reach the entire bed more quickly and evenly, minimising delays in saturation. The result is a more stable extraction environment, helping prevent both under-extraction and over-extraction. In practice, this makes it easier to draw out the coffee’s natural sweetness, clarity, and structure with consistency.
Ten Fan-Shaped Ribs for Stable Flow
The dripper features ten carefully designed fan-shaped ribs, made possible by ORIGAMI’s precise manufacturing technique. These ribs create controlled air channels between the paper filter and the dripper wall, encouraging a smooth and steady water flow.
The rib structure also helps reduce clogging while keeping the paper filter securely in place. The balance between grooves and flat surfaces was designed not only for flow speed, but also for brewing stability.
Porcelain Thickness and Temperature Control
The Pinn Dripper has a thicker porcelain body than the traditional ORIGAMI Dripper. During the early stage of brewing, the temperature rises gradually, helping avoid excessive energy transfer at the beginning of extraction. In the later stage, the porcelain body and its thickness help retain heat, allowing the temperature to decline more gently.
This creates a controlled temperature curve throughout the brew, supporting a layered and balanced cup.
Compact Height for Better Pouring Control
With a height of only 6 cm, the Pinn Dripper gives the brewer greater freedom to control the kettle spout position. The lower profile makes it easier to adjust pouring height and water placement, supporting more precise brewing movements and a calmer workflow.
Larger Bottom Opening for Clean, Fast Extraction
The bottom opening has been designed larger than many common cone-shaped drippers. According to the source material, the inner diameter is 28 mm, approximately 5 mm larger than the standard ORIGAMI Dripper.
This helps prevent water from pooling at the bottom, reduces clogging risk, and supports the fast, clean extraction style for which the Pinn Dripper was developed.
Included Pinn Dripper Jig
The Pinn Dripper is sold as a set with the dedicated Pinn Dripper Jig. This jig is designed to help adjust the paper filter angle accurately, ensuring the filter sits correctly inside the dripper.
The product is not sold separately from the jig.
