"Tritan FLOWER DRIPPER" for a sustainable coffee life!
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new FLOWER DRIPPER that uses the latest synthetic resin "Tritan" developed by Eastman Corporation, a global specialty materials company.
Durable and long-lasting.
Tritan (Eastman Tritan™ copolyester) is a resin with an outstanding toughness, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and high transparency. Because it is more flexible than conventional resin, it is hard to break even if it is accidentally dropped. Thus, suitable for outdoor use as well. It is a dripper that can be used for a long time because of its toughness and can contribute to "zero waste" by reducing waste.
Highly safe and accepted in the EU, where regulations for plastic products are strict.
Since Tritan does not contain BPA (bisphenol A) and is highly safe, it is also used for baby products and medical parts. It has been certified as a safe resin by the regulatory bodies of each country, making it possible to market Tritan FLOWER DRIPPERs in the EU market, which is strict on plastic products.
CAFEC Deep Evolution!
Introducing the FLOWER DRIPPER DEEP 27 for your delicious one cup.
FLOWER DRIPPER DEEP 27 is designed with CAFEC’s passion that “we want many coffee lovers to enjoy really delicious coffee at home” and our special brewing theory.
Thanks to the bottom angle of 27°, we were able to bring you FLOWER DRIPPER DEEP 27 for one cup. No more difficulty in controlling the water flow. You can just continue to pour water to the center and enjoy your “best cup”.
Easy to brew and much more delicious coffee with DEEP 27!
DEEP 27 Development Story
DEEP 45 was a dripper developed from the idea of forming a deep filtering layer by narrowing the bottom angle to 45°. However, due to its’ angle of 45°, it was ideal for 3~7 cups and not the ideal deep filtering layer for one cup.
However, we received many passionate requests from Japan and overseas coffee lovers wanting a DEEP dripper for single cup. Therefore, in order to spread joy among our coffee lovers who enjoy single cup of coffee, we researched and developed the dripper “DEEP 27”.
We hope that you can enjoy your best cup with DEEP 27, as a reward for yourself or to share with your someone special.
Why 27˚?
After trial and error, we arrived at the ideal bottom angle for one cup.
It took a year and a half from idea development to its completion.
(1) Even a single cup of coffee grounds can form a sufficient filtering layer (the sedimentary layer of coffee powder).
(2) CAFEC’s ideal extracting speed, the speed of pouring water from the top and the speed of extracting coffee liquid from the bottom are the same.
As a result of our research, we got the ideal angle of 27° for one cup.
The taste of coffee brewed with DEEP 27
Brewing with DEEP 27 will bring much more richness and sweetness to your coffee. It can pull out the characteristics of each coffee and extract only the pleasant taste components.
Special structure of the dripper
In the development process of the FLOWER DRIPPER DEEP 27, we have always considered the dripper and paper balance and pursued the dripper that fulfills “the ultimate cup”. We were able to design such a special flower dripper structure, only because CAFEC has a thorough knowledge of coffee paper filter.
1. Perfect rib height
Even if the bottom angle is narrowed, the brewing speed will not drop. This is because the height of the ribs is subtly changed towards the bottom hole. This ideal rib height maintains an appropriate air layer between the paper and the dripper until the end and generate a firm osmotic pressure inside the dripper to brew a delicious coffee.
2. The best size for the bottom hole
Adjusting the height of the rib inevitably changes the size of the bottom hole. However, if the bottom hole is too big, the paper will protrude too much from the dripper, and it will not be able to withstand the weight of coffee powder with hot water in the latter half of the brewing, and the paper may tear easily. On the other hand, if the bottom hole is too small, the paper will not protrude much, and the powder will clog near the bottom hole and slow down the brewing speed.
DEEP 27 dripper shape can hold the strength of paper until the end and not reduce the brewing speed. After many trials, finally we reached the best size for the bottom hole.
3. The shape makes it easy to brew directly into the cup
DEEP 27 is a dripper for "the ultimate cup". Therefore, when designing, we also assumed that you will brew directly into the cup. With the curve-shaped pedestal of the dripper, we succeeded in keeping the distance between the dripper and the cup a little farther.
Therefore, the bottom tip of the paper is less likely to get soaked in coffee, preventing tearing of the paper filter and coffee powder getting into the coffee.
Abaca+ Coffee Paper Filter For “the ultimate single cup”.
This time, CAFEC introduced a dedicated paper filter molding machine together with the development of FLOWER DRIPPER DEEP 27.
Launching Abaca + DEEP 27 Coffee Paper Filter!
Even with the unique shape of the FLOWER DRIPPER DEEP 27 which has a narrow bottom angle, only dedicated paper can secure an air layer between the paper and the dripper. So that it will form and maintain a deep filtering layer and let the coffee expand smoothly.
In addition, as a feature of Abaca+ paper’s structure, the height of the crepe is set lower on both sides, and the distance between crepes are narrowed to increase the total surface area giving enough space for coffee fine powders to adhere. This feature enables a smooth water flow. The speed at which hot water is poured from the top is almost the same as the speed at which coffee liquid is extracted from the bottom. And more, by uniforming the texture of paper, you can control the speed easily and get stable taste.
Brewing together with FLOWER DRIPPER DEEP 27, you can enjoy the "ultimate cup" with much more richness and sweetness.
