The Origami Dripper was released in 2019 by Japanese ceramics maker Trinity and named for the twenty accordion folds that run down its outer wall. Inside the dripper is essentially a 60-degree cone — the same angle as a V60 — but the pleats change how the filter sits: instead of pressing flat against the wall, paper filters contact the dripper only along the fold peaks, leaving air gaps that speed drawdown and reduce bypass.

What makes the M especially interesting is filter flexibility. Cone filters (V60 style) work, and so do Kalita Wave 155 filters (flat-bottom style). Swapping between the two shifts the cup from V60-bright to Wave-sweet without changing drippers. This is unusual enough that many specialty brewers own an Origami specifically to have both profiles on one shelf.

A starting recipe, V60-style filter: 15 g of coffee to 250 g of water (1:16), medium grind, water at 93–95 °C, four pours in 2:45 to 3:30. Origami's polished ceramic colours are practical too — the dripper is lightweight, preheats fast, and tolerates temperature swings well. It earned its Good Design Award and its spot in every serious specialty café kit for a reason.
