A limited ORIGAMI ceramic dripper inspired by Beppu bamboo craft and the quiet beauty of ageing bamboo.

This is a pre-order, ETA: the 1st week of June

Rinko（輪弧） brings together Japanese porcelain and Beppu bamboo craft — a limited colourway shaped by time, material, and handwork.

A Limited Edition from the ORIGAMI with Makers Project

The ORIGAMI Dripper S Rinko [Limited] is part of the ORIGAMI with Makers Project, a series created to share the culture of Japanese craftsmanship through ORIGAMI products.

ORIGAMI began with the idea of being “with Barista” — developing tools for those who continue to pursue a better cup of coffee. With the with Makers Project, ORIGAMI extends this philosophy beyond the coffee bar, collaborating across regions, materials, and craft traditions to create objects that carry the story of their makers.

This second chapter is themed around ORIGAMI × Beppu Bamboo Crafts, bringing together the world of Mino porcelain and one of Japan’s long-established bamboo craft traditions.

Rinko — Inspired by Beppu Bamboo Craft

Beppu, in Oita Prefecture, has long been known for its bamboo craft. The region is blessed with a warm, humid climate and generous rainfall, allowing high-quality madake bamboo to grow abundantly.

Historically, Beppu also developed as one of Japan’s most famous hot spring towns. As visitors came for touji, the practice of travelling to hot springs for rest and healing, bamboo craft became part of daily life — used for baskets, tools, bath items, and other everyday objects.

Among the traditional bamboo weaving techniques is rinko-ami（輪弧編み）, a method formed by overlapping circular arcs. The technique creates a structure that feels both light and strong, with open spaces that allow light, shadow, and air to pass through.

The Rinko collection takes inspiration from this craft language and translates it into coffee tools for the modern table.

A Colourway Inspired by the Ageing of Bamboo

Fresh bamboo often begins with a pale green or soft beige tone. Over time, as it is exposed to light and air, it slowly changes into amber, golden brown, and deeper earthy shades. With use, the surface gains a quiet gloss and becomes more personal to its owner.

The Rinko colourway expresses this natural ageing process through ceramic glaze.

Developed by Koyo Ceramics over approximately two years, the colour uses a kiln-changing glaze and spray-finishing technique to create soft gradation and depth. Because the glaze moves and reacts in the kiln, each dripper has its own subtle expression.

No two pieces are exactly alike.

Designed to Pair with the Rinko Collection

The Rinko Dripper was developed as part of a coordinated limited collection that also includes the Beppu bamboo dripper holder [Rinko-ami] and the Sensory Flavour Cup [Rinko].

When used together, the ceramic dripper, bamboo holder, and cup create a quiet harmony between natural material and porcelain. The warm, organic tones are inspired by traditional craft, while the overall impression remains modern and refined.

The dripper can also be paired beautifully with a glass server, especially in warmer seasons, where the contrast between translucent glass, ceramic glaze, and bamboo craft creates a light and elegant brewing scene.

ORIGAMI Brewing Performance

While the Rinko edition carries a special craft story, it keeps the familiar brewing performance of the ORIGAMI Dripper.

The 20-fold interior structure supports excellent drainage and airflow. With a conical filter, the folds create air channels between the paper and the dripper wall, encouraging faster flow and a clean, transparent cup.

With a wave-style filter, the brew bed becomes flatter, changing the extraction dynamic and often producing a fuller, rounder cup.

This flexibility allows one dripper to support two distinct brewing styles.

Holder Recommended

A dripper holder is strongly recommended for stable brewing.

The ORIGAMI Wooden Holder, ORIGAMI AS Resin Holder, and the limited Beppu Bamboo Dripper Holder [Rinko-ami] are suitable options, sold separately. A holder helps stabilise the dripper and prevents it from sitting too deeply into the server or cup during brewing.
