Crafted for nuance, designed for discovery.

This thoughtfully designed cup invites a more immersive coffee experience through its unique asymmetrical rim. 

Asymmetrical rim

Subtle variations in rim thickness guide the coffee across different areas of the palate—accentuating brightness and acidity when sipped from the thinner edge, and emphasizing body and depth from the thicker side.

Dual Spout

The cup’s dual spout form ensures a natural, comfortable fit from either angle, allowing consistent, balanced enjoyment regardless of how it’s held. This versatility makes it ideal for professional use, where baristas can recommend a specific drinking angle based on the coffee's origin, roast profile, or preparation style.

Serve

We encourage gentle stirring mid-drink—enhancing aromatic expression and revealing layered complexity as the coffee evolves with temperature.

Colours' Choices

Available in white, which accentuates the subtle blue tones of lightly roasted coffee, and black, which minimises visual bias and invites deeper focus on aroma and taste.

For a complete tasting experience, we recommend pairing this cup with the matching coffee server, allowing you to explore how the flavour evolves as the coffee cools.

Crafting Beauty and Function in Specialty Coffee & Matcha Tools 

Founded in Gifu (岐阜市), Japan in 2013, Origami Japan—under the K-ai (株式会社ケーアイ) brand—has been dedicated to crafting elegant, functional tools for the specialty coffee and matcha communities. Renowned for its vibrant aesthetics and refined craftsmanship in original pottery (陶器), Origami has earned a global following among baristas, brewers, and tea enthusiasts alike.

Inspired by Japanese Artistry

The name "Origami" comes from the traditional Japanese art of paper folding—symbolising precision, creativity, and simplicity. This philosophy is embodied in every product, blending minimalist beauty with functional design to bring more joy and elegance to everyday brewing rituals.

Design Meets Ritual

Origami products—ranging from colourful ceramic drippers to sleek matcha series—are designed to enhance both the visual and sensory brewing experience. Durable, and ergonomically refined, they cater to professionals and home brewers who value both performance and aesthetics.

Celebrated Worldwide

From championship stages to cozy home kitchens, Origami has become a beloved brand in the global specialty scene. With a growing presence across coffee and tea cultures, it continues to inspire creativity and connection through the simple joy of brewing.

Du Jianing, the 2019 World Brewers Cup Champion, used the Sensory Flavour Cup, which was co-developed by Origami Japan.
