Kalita Coffee Dripper Mino Ware Sand Black – 2–4 Cup Ceramic Pour-Over, Made in Japan

A refined pour-over experience from Japan

From the heart of the East Gifu region, where ceramic artistry spans centuries, the Kalita Coffee Dripper Mino Ware blends traditional craftsmanship with modern coffee rituals. This dripper is made in Japan using Mino Yakiza Katana ceramic, a material chosen for its tactile warmth and responsible heat characteristics. The bottom bears the distinctive DACHI engraving, a nod to meticulous production in Tanchi Town, Toki City, signaling a careful, detail-focused approach to every cup.

Designed to serve 2 to 4 people, this dripper balances size and performance for small households or casual gatherings. It works with standard KWF185 filters, keeping the brewing process simple and consistent for everyday use. Note that this unit is not dishwasher-safe, so hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and the glaze over time.

Heat-retaining ceramic for a more consistent brew

Care and use

Use with KWF185 filters to support a smooth pour and even extraction. Since it is not dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to protect the ceramic glaze and the engraved details. This dripper is well-suited for daily use, weekend coffee sessions, or outdoor setups where a reliable, evenly heated pour-over is desired.
