Level up your coffee game with paperless filter made with Aritayaki ceramic ware techniques

Is your dad a coffee man? No problem. We have that covered too. The Ceramic Coffee Filter was born from the traditional Japanese techniques of Aritayaki ceramic ware, which has a history of 400 years. It removes up to 70% of the extraneous flavor impurities by filtering coffee through micron-sized holes.

Filtering through ceramic achieves an excellent extraction, removing impurities as well as the tell-tale saltiness which sometimes characterizes under-extracted coffee, all of which results in a mellow, satisfying coffee taste.
