A switch base for conical brewing, with control built into the turn.
A quiet turn between stillness and flow—made to hold the brew, then let it go.
Controlled brewing at the base
The DragonFly Conical Dripper Transit Base is the control point of the Dragonfly Conical Dripper system. Rather than serving only as a support, it introduces a simple open-and-close mechanism that lets the brewer decide when water remains in contact with the coffee bed and when it is released into drawdown. With a turn of the knob, the brewing process can shift between immersion-style holding and percolation-style flow, giving the setup a more deliberate rhythm and a wider brewing range.
From steeping to drawdown
That switching function changes how the brewer can shape extraction. In the closed position, the dripper can hold water for a longer contact time, allowing the brew to steep before release. Once opened, the flow resumes and the cup moves toward a cleaner, more filter-driven finish. This makes the base especially useful for brewers who want to explore hybrid recipes without changing the overall setup—only the timing, the sequence, and the way water is allowed to move through the bed.
Practical construction, clear operation
The operation is intentionally straightforward. Published descriptions of the CT62 Transit system note a knob used to switch between flow and stop, along with a magnetic detachable base structure that makes assembly and cleaning easier after brewing. That practicality matters: a switching brewer should feel easy to reset, easy to rinse, and easy to use repeatedly without fuss. Here, the function remains tactile and direct, with the base acting as a quiet mechanical center beneath the dripper.

Bringing Contemporary Chinese Design into Filter Coffee Brewing
Founded in 1996, DragonFly Design Centre 清庭設計 is a design-led brand built around the vision of founder and creative director Jeff Dayu Shi (石大宇). Rooted in contemporary design inspired by Chinese culture, the brand has developed a distinctive language that brings together craftsmanship, symbolism, and practical innovation across lifestyle and coffee objects alike.
Inspired by Culture, Designed for Brewing
For DragonFly, coffee equipment is more than a brewing tool — it is a meeting point of culture, form, and sensory experience. Their filter coffee designs often draw from traditional Chinese visual references while translating them into modern brewing objects with strong functionality. The result is a collection of drippers and servers that feel both expressive and purposeful, made for brewers who value character as much as cup quality.
Precision in Filter Coffee Design
DragonFly’s coffee line is especially known for its thoughtfully engineered manual brewing drippers. The CT62 Coffee Dripper, designed by Jeff Dayu Shi together with Jake Yuan Cheng Hu of Taster’s Coffee, features a 62-degree cone angle, a structured groove system, and a design intended to promote more stable flow, reduce clogging, and support even extraction. It uses standard V60 01/02 filter papers, making it approachable for both professionals and home brewers
Where Aesthetics Meet Performance
What makes DragonFly stand out is the way it approaches coffee equipment as both a functional brewer and a design object. The surfaces, textures, and structural details are not merely decorative; they are integrated into how the brewer manages water flow and extraction. This balance of beauty and brewing performance gives DragonFly a unique place in the specialty coffee world, especially for those drawn to original drippers with a strong identity.
Recognised in the Coffee and Design World
DragonFly’s brewing designs have gained international attention not only for their visual language, but also for their technical thoughtfulness. The CT62 has been described as a dripper that combines cultural inspiration with functional brewing design, and DragonFly’s newer coffee pieces — including the rock ’n’ dew coffee server and Tri-Spin dripper series — were recognised by the German Design Award 2026 for their combination of aroma-focused design, extraction control, and user experience.
A Distinct Voice in Specialty Filter Coffee
From drippers to servers, DragonFly Design Center brings a different perspective to specialty coffee: one that is deeply design-conscious, culturally rooted, and focused on elevating the ritual of hand brewing. Their coffee equipment speaks to brewers who appreciate not only clarity and control in the cup, but also the meaning and beauty of the tools they use every day.
