A compact switch base for precise open-and-close control in flat-bottom brewing.

The Tri-Spin Flat Transit Base is the functional core of the Tri-Spin FS brewing system. Designed for the Tri-Spin FS Flat Transit Dripper, it introduces a simple but effective way to control flow: close for steeping, open for drawdown. Compact in form yet purposeful in use, it adds flexibility, control, and a more intentional rhythm to daily brewing.

Controlled Brewing Through a Switch Base

More than a simple support, it functions as the control point of the brewing system, allowing the brewer to decide when water is held in the dripper and when it is released through the coffee bed. By turning the knob between closed and open positions, the base makes it possible to work with both immersion-style brewing and more continuous filter-style extraction.

More Range in Everyday Brewing

This switching function gives the brewer more freedom to shape the cup. With the flow closed, the coffee can steep for a longer contact time, encouraging a fuller and more saturated extraction. When the flow is opened, the brew shifts into a cleaner drawdown, closer to a more classic filter-style cup. In practice, this makes the Transit Base a useful tool for adjusting recipes, brew timing, and extraction style without needing to change the overall brewing setup.

Practical Construction, Clear Operation

The Transit Base is also designed with practicality in mind. According to the packaging, the upper and lower parts of the base can be detached and reattached through a magnetic connection, making assembly and handling more straightforward. The knob markings make operation easy to understand and repeat: “X” indicates close, while “O” indicates open. Compact in size and stable in form, the base brings a more deliberate and adaptable rhythm to daily flat-bottom brewing.

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.

14-Day Right of Withdrawal – EU Consumers

If you are purchasing as a consumer, you normally have the legal right to withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days without providing a reason.

The 14-day withdrawal period starts on the day after you, or a person designated by you, receives the goods. If one order is delivered in several shipments, the period starts after receipt of the final item.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, please inform us within this 14-day period through our online withdrawal function or by contacting us at info@kohiraifu.com and clearly stating that you wish to withdraw from your purchase.

Please include your order number whenever possible.

After notifying us of your withdrawal, you have a further 14 days to send the goods back.

For change-of-mind returns, the direct cost and risk of returning the goods are the responsibility of the customer. We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service and keeping your proof of shipment.

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.

Returns requested after the statutory 14-day withdrawal period are part of our voluntary return policy and require prior approval.

For returns between day 15 and day 30:

  • The product must be unused, complete and in resalable condition, preferably with its original packaging.
  • The customer is responsible for the return shipping costs.
  • Original shipping charges are not refundable.

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

This voluntary return policy does not limit any statutory consumer rights.


Coffee, Matcha, Food & Consumable Products

Certain statutory exceptions to the right of withdrawal may apply to products that deteriorate or expire rapidly, or to sealed products that are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons once their seal has been broken.

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.


Damaged, Faulty or Incorrect Products

If your order arrives damaged, faulty, incomplete or different from what you ordered, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible at info@kohiraifu.com.

Please include:

  • your order number,
  • a description of the issue, and
  • photos or video where this can help us assess the problem.

Please keep the product and its original packaging until we have reviewed the case.

Where the product is confirmed to be faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied, Kohiraifu will arrange an appropriate solution and cover reasonable return shipping costs where a return is required.

Your statutory warranty and conformity rights are not affected by this policy.


Exchanges

If you would like a different product, colour or variation, please contact us first.

Depending on the product and stock availability, we may arrange an exchange or ask you to return the original product and place a new order.


Wholesale & Business Orders

The statutory consumer cooling-off period does not apply to purchases made for business or professional purposes.

Wholesale and other B2B returns are therefore subject to separate conditions and require prior written approval from Kohiraifu.

This does not affect claims relating to products that were damaged, faulty or incorrectly supplied.
