How to Brew Coffee Using the Origami Dripper

The Origami dripper is known for its unique ridged design, offering a fast, even flow rate and allowing for greater control over extraction. Compared to the V60, it provides a cleaner, lighter cup, making it perfect for highlighting delicate flavors in specialty coffee.

💡 No Origami dripper? You can use a V60, which has a slower extraction and produces a fuller-bodied brew with deeper caramelized notes.

What You’ll Need:

✔ Origami or V60 dripper
✔ Cone-shaped paper filter (Hario, Cafec, or Origami-compatible)
✔ Freshly ground coffee (medium grind, like sea salt)
✔ Hot water (92–96°C)
✔ Scale & timer
✔ Gooseneck kettle

Choosing the Right Coffee for Pour-Over Brewing

At HuyEco Coffee, we believe that every brew starts with selecting the right beans. That’s why we offer:

🌿 Processing Methods:
Washed coffee – Bright acidity, crisp flavors
Natural coffee – Fruity, complex sweetness

🔥 Roast Levels:
Light roast – Floral, tea-like, delicate complexity
Medium roast – Balanced body, soft caramel notes
Dark roast – Bold, rich, chocolatey depth

💡 Prefer ground coffee? We can grind it fresh to drip-size for perfect extraction with your Origami or V60 dripper.

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

1️⃣ Prepare the Dripper and Paper Filter

🌿 Choose the right filter: Origami works with both flat-bottom and cone-shaped filters.
🔥 Rinse the filter with hot water to remove any papery taste and preheat the dripper.
💡 Discard the rinse water before brewing.

2️⃣ Measure Coffee & Water Ratio

🌱 Standard ratio:
Coffee: 15g (or adjust to taste)
Water: 250g (ideal for a single cup)

💡 Tip: Use a scale for precision and filtered water for better extraction.

3️⃣ Blooming Phase (First Pour)

🔥 Slowly pour 30–40g of hot water evenly over the coffee grounds.
Wait 30–45 seconds—this allows the coffee to release trapped gases, enhancing flavor extraction.

4️⃣ Controlled Pouring for Balanced Extraction

Pour in slow, steady spirals, starting from the center and moving outward.
Dividing pours into 2–3 phases ensures an even extraction.
Total brew time: Around 2:30–3 minutes.

Brewing coffee is more than technique—it’s a moment of connection. In this video, a HuyEco grower hand-drips coffee with an Origami dripper, each slow pour echoing the journey from ripe cherry to final cup.

Origami vs. V60: What’s Different?

💡 Origami dripper:
Faster flow rate – results in a cleaner, brighter cup
Works with multiple filter types – more versatility
Best for light to medium roasts – enhances fruity and floral notes

🔥 V60 dripper:
Slightly slower extraction – deepens body and complexity
Single large hole controls flow – influences strength
Best for medium-dark roasts – caramelized sweetness

🌱 No matter which dripper you use, selecting the right beans and roast level is key!
 

Comparison of grind sizes for Origami and V60 drippers—Origami requires a slightly coarser grind to control flow rate
Though both are cone-shaped drippers, Origami and V60 differ in groove design and flow speed—so grind size matters. Origami typically needs a coarser grind to slow down the brew, while V60 works best with a medium-fine grind like beach sand. Small tweaks, big flavor impact.
