The Munieq Tetra Drip is a flat-pack pour-over made from two small stainless steel plates that slot together at brewing time. Designed by Japanese brand Munieq, it was built around one specific problem: how do you carry a pour-over brewer in a backpack without losing half a shelf of space?
The brewer assembles in ten seconds into a four-sided cone that balances over any mug. It uses standard Hario V60 01 paper filters, so paper supply is not an issue on the road. The cup profile is close to a V60 — bright, articulate, clean — with slightly more variable flow because the assembled structure is never quite as rigid as a proper cone.
A travel-friendly recipe: 12 g of coffee to 200 g of water (1:16–1:17), medium-fine grind, water at 93–95 °C, three pours in 2:15 to 2:45. The Tetra Drip is the brewer for hiking, hotel rooms, commutes, and office drawers — anywhere a V60 is too bulky and an AeroPress too involved. Rinse it, dry it, and slide it into a book for the next trip.
