Origami Wave Cup 2

The shape of the filter matters more than it seems. The corrugated sidewall and flat bottom keep the coffee bed at a constant depth, so the water passes through the entire batch evenly and doesn’t take shortcuts down the sides of the dripper. The flat bottom also provides a larger drainage area—the flow is faster, and you have better control over when the brew finishes. This translates to a predictable result in the cup: a balanced, full-bodied flavor that retains a subtle, natural sweetness even with a shorter extraction time. So if you’re using faster recipes with a coarser grind, this filter won’t let you down.

A pack of fifty will last the average home brewer about two months of daily morning rituals. Usage The Cup 2 size is designed for 1–2 cups, meaning it’s compatible with Origami drippers in size S. Place the filter in the dripper, rinse it with hot water (this removes any paper aftertaste and warms up the ceramic or plastic), pour out the water from the kettle, and only then add the ground specialty coffee. The corrugated shape works with both ribbed holders and conical setups—the Origami can handle both, depending on which dripper stand you’re using.
