Engineered for control and clarity.

A synthesis of ancient geometric wisdom and competition-grade engineering, designed to guide water with absolute precision and reveal the truest essence of the roast.

Geometric Armor Design

The exterior texture draws direct inspiration from the "Shanwen" (山文 Mountain Pattern) armor of the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE). This infinite, three-dimensional geometric structure translates ancient craftsmanship into a refined, highly tactile visual language.

The Tri-Spin Hollow Base

Evolving from the classic conical shape, this flat-bottom dripper features a patented three-spin hollow base. This specialied configuration effectively disperses water at the bottom, prevents central clogging, and minimies the risk of localied over-extraction, ensuring high stability even when brewing with larger doses.

Advanced Flow Dynamics

The interior architecture utilises a flat wall integrated with 12 long and 12 short grooves. This precise layout maximises the contact area with the filter paper and reduces bypass channels, forcing hot water directly through the coffee bed. The grooves simultaneously act as pressure release channels, maintaining a smooth, uniform flow rate for highly concentrated and layered flavour profiles.

Versatile Brewing Control

The dripper is fully compatible with both the bamboo flat dripper holder and switch-controlled base. This adaptability supports both standard percolation and immersion methods, offering an accessible entry point for beginners while delivering the exact rhythm and precision demanded by professionals in a competition setting.

  • Care of Use:

    • Do not use metal utensils (such as stainless steel spoons) to scrape or scratch the surface, as this will cause unnecessary damage.
    • Due to the natural limits of the ceramic crafting process, minor imperfections such as tiny glaze bubbles or black spots may be present and are considered normal.

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.
