A 62° saddle-inspired dripper shaped for fast flow and flexible brewing.
Inspired by the saddle forms seen in Tang-dynasty sancai pottery, the SA62 combines sculpted ceramic texture, original coral-shaped grooves and a ring-shaped base designed to work with DragonFly’s Transit switch system.
A saddle form reinterpreted in contemporary ceramic
The exterior texture of the SA62 takes its inspiration from the full, three-dimensional saddle forms of Tang-dynasty tri-colour pottery. The softly raised, slightly upturned saddle motif is repeated across the outer wall in a more contemporary rhythm, giving the dripper a sculptural surface with depth and movement.
Within DragonFly’s design story, the saddle motif also connects the dripper to the Year of the Horse, carrying wishes of stability, success and a prosperous year.
Original coral-shaped grooves for a faster flow path
Inside the dripper, DragonFly introduces an original coral-shaped groove structure. Twelve long grooves are evenly distributed from the rim to the base, while eight curved short grooves branch outward from the main channels like coral. This structure is designed to accelerate water flow and support efficient extraction while keeping the brew path open and responsive.
The eight branching forms also carry a visual reference to the Chinese expression 八方来财 — “wealth arriving from all directions” — linking the functional groove pattern with the product’s cultural design language.
Ring-shaped base for the Transit switch system
A raised ring runs around the outer edge of the SA62 base, allowing it to pair with DragonFly’s Transit switch base. This expands the dripper beyond conventional pour-over use, giving the brewer the option to move between percolation and immersion-style brewing with the same ceramic body.
In the original design concept, the circular ring also represents 圆满 — completeness or fulfilment — adding another layer of meaning to the functional structure.
Designed to work with DragonFly’s conical support system
For conventional pour-over use, the SA62 can also be paired with the DragonFly Bamboo Conical Dripper Holder together with the matching SA62 silicone ring for a stable brewing setup. Accessories are sold separately.
New bone china construction
The ceramic dripper is made from new bone china and uses a 62° conical geometry sized for 1–2 cups. The ceramic body is heat resistant up to 120°C and is suitable for microwave, dishwasher and dish-dryer use.
Natural characteristics of ceramic production
The ring-shaped base requires a different mould and production process from DragonFly’s earlier conical drippers. A fine mould-parting line or slight raised trace may therefore remain around the base after firing. Dark glaze tends to conceal this line more strongly, while lighter glazes reveal more of the ceramic texture and surface detail. Small pinholes, dark spots, rim traces or other minor firing marks can also occur naturally in ceramic production and are not considered functional defects.

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.

Condition of Returned Products
You may inspect a product to the extent reasonably necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning, similar to what would normally be possible in a physical shop.
Please return the product complete, including its accessories and, wherever reasonably possible, its original packaging.
If a product has been handled or used beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect it and this results in a reduction in value, we may deduct the corresponding diminished value from the refund.
Refunds During the 14-Day Withdrawal Period
For a valid withdrawal of the complete order, we will refund:
- the purchase price of the returned products; and
- the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option originally available for the order.
Additional delivery charges resulting from choosing a more expensive delivery method, such as express shipping, are not refundable.
If only part of an order is returned, the original delivery charge is not refunded.
The direct cost of returning the order to Kohiraifu is the responsibility of the customer unless the product is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or we have agreed otherwise.
Refunds will be made using the original payment method. We may withhold the refund until we have received the returned goods or until you provide evidence that the goods have been sent back, whichever occurs first.
Voluntary Returns – Up to 30 Days
In addition to your statutory rights, Kohiraifu may accept eligible products for return for up to 30 days after delivery.

We reserve the right to decline voluntary returns that do not meet these conditions.

Opened coffee, matcha, food products and other consumable products cannot be accepted under our voluntary return policy once opened or used.
This does not affect your rights if the product supplied is faulty, damaged, incorrect or otherwise does not conform to your order.
