CAFEC Arita Ware Trapezoid Dripper

Mr. Taguchi is a legendary master in the Japanese specialty coffee movement, renowned for his expertise in coffee brewing and dripper design. This CAFEC Arita Ware Trapezoid Dripper was collaboratively designed by Mr. Taguchi and CAFEC specifically for use in "Café Bach" in Tokyo, one of Japan's most prestigious coffee establishments. The dripper has achieved very high status and reputation in Japan, representing the pinnacle of Japanese coffee brewing tradition and Mr. Taguchi's decades of coffee expertise.

Arita Ware is a traditional Japanese porcelain with over 400 years of history, known for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. For coffee brewing, Arita Ware offers superior thermal insulation properties that maintain optimal brewing temperature throughout the extraction process. Each dripper is hand-made using traditional techniques, resulting in a smooth and round appearance with consistent quality. The porcelain's thermal properties ensure even heat distribution and temperature stability, crucial for extracting the best flavors from specialty coffee.

The two-hole trapezoid design features deep and clear ribs that create an ideal water current and enable deep filtration during brewing. The steep slope angle on the sides and oval-shaped cross-section direct water flow to the two holes at the bottom, preventing water blockage and excessive extraction. This design ensures smooth flow and balanced extraction, resulting in coffee with strong aroma, complex, sweet, mellow, and pleasant flavors - significantly more balanced than other trapezoid drippers.

Size 101 is designed for 1-2 cups brewing, perfect for personal use or small servings, while size 102 is designed for 2-4 cups, ideal for larger servings or entertaining guests. Both sizes maintain the same exceptional design principles and brewing quality, with the trapezoid structure, two-hole design, and deep ribs optimized for their respective capacities. Both sizes work specifically with ABACA Trapezoid Filter Paper and are available in all three colors: Snowy White, Chocolate Brown, and Papaya Orange.
