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.

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!
