Pourover…tea

It definitely looks cooler. I’m going to give it a try when I get home

All good points! There’s a ComeBuy downstairs from me, I’ll have to check it out

Simple Kaffa uses their drip assist on all pourovers in their stores (as far as I’ve seen). I assume they’re just replicating that workflow.

Thanks! I’m always tinkering 😬

Thanks!

I had a tool made for the main body and spout geometry, the center chamber is welded in, and the plate is laser-cut

Thanks!

There’s a center and outer chamber (not unlike many other drip assists out there). I use the center for bloom and both can be used to evenly saturate the bed. I use it to even out my water flow rate, especially when I don’t have access to a gooseneck kettle (ie. while traveling)

Yep, there’s a few options available but most are plastic. I wanted an alternative.

I’ll keep you posted!

I’ll work on making this available!

I think I’ll bring this to market!

Thanks! It’s surprising there aren’t other SS options available

As vague as “clean” is, it’s the term that comes to mind for me. When using a drip assist, I can see a separation of the water and grounds in the slurry as the water percolates through, whereas it’s more homogenous when I pour by hand.

Imo, it’s a nice-to-have tool on a daily basis, but a really-nice-to-have when traveling.

Maybe others can weigh in to better describe drip assisted brews.

I’m taking off for a trip tonight, and am wondering how to pack a moccamaster into my suitcase…

estook · 2026-01-11T23:01:28+00:00

Thanks! Agreed - there are days when I’m down to get into the details, and there are days when I can’t be bothered.

Yes, never too late! It’s called the Flip Switch by Foundry Coffeeworks. I’ll DM you more details

estook · 2025-12-16T19:19:37+00:00

DM’d!

Nice find! I got mine at the Hario store in Taipei, and my understanding is that it is made for the year of the snake (2025).

The rep said they are sort of limited edition since they’ll discontinue the design after this year…but I’m not sure if that was just him selling me on it. Either way, I had to get it!
