Very beautiful and functional at the same time. Very clean lines. Fits good in the hands. Spout pours well. You can't go wrong with any color. Just know that the white one has a smooth, glossy, but porous texture, while the black one has a matte, fine sandpaper like texture (think 1200 grit).
The Kurasu ceramic pourover filter is, without question, the best reusable coffee filter I’ve ever used. Unlike paper filters—which often mute nuanced flavors and absorb natural oils—or common steel filters that can leave a metallic edge and slight sediment, Kurasu’s ceramic design is truly transformative.
From the first pour, I noticed the difference: fresh grounds yield coffee that is astonishingly vibrant, clean, and complex. This filter coaxes out the individual character of each bean and roast. I can literally identify distinct notes—earthiness, bright fruits, layers of chocolate, spice—each sip is like a tasting flight, highlighting terroir and roast profiles with incredible clarity.
The aroma and flavor are so pure and undiluted that my coffee experience now feels akin to wine tasting. The filter lets essential oils come through, preserving the coffee’s natural strength and body without bitterness or muddiness. Nothing is lost, everything is enhanced—from mouthfeel to aftertaste.
Durability and ease of cleaning also impress. There’s no paper waste, and the filter quickly rinses clean with water. Over time, it maintains its filtering power and doesn’t impart any off-flavors.
If you’re passionate about coffee and crave a pure, nuanced brew, the Kurasu ceramic filter will elevate your daily ritual to something truly special. It’s an investment in flavor discovery—a must-have for any serious coffee enthusiast.
I ordered two small saucers (one matte and one glazed) and one oval saucer (matte). They look very classy and complement the cups well, whatever the size. The oval saucer is just large enough to fit two of the biggest mugs. The matte version looks more elegant and has a rough surface which keeps the mugs better from sliding. The glazed one feels more pleasant to the touch.
I ordered two mugs, one matte and one glazed. Both look very elegant and minimal and are a pleasure to drink from. The handle ist the perfect size and form for me. I especially like the classy colour which indeed looks "Kyoto-ish". While the matte one looks slightly better, some might have to get used to the rough feel (the inside is glazed). The glazed one is shiny and smooth and pleasant to touch.
Smaller than I imaged, but exactly what I wanted and needed it to be. It looks and feels incredibly well made. Haven’t used it on a stovetop yet. But it pours nicely.
Love the rubber feet for no slip on my scale. The adjustable height allows me to use a variety of different drippers (v60, origami, kalita) at a comfortable height.
Great coffee and fresh roast
The coffee is very unique
Another extraordinary creation from Kurasu - a subtly elegant mug that works equally well for filter coffee and milk-based drinks. The uniquely shaped handle provides an very comfortable grip, adding both function and character to the design. A perfect balance of simplicity, functionality, and beauty.
Love to use it Origani brewer with V60 and kalita wave fiters for different recepies.
I love it ❤️ i tried first and it is delicious, smell it's good, I love this matcha and I wish return 1kg matcha, also many sale ❤️ thank you kurasu matcha♥️♥️
Very nice addition to my dripper collection. Really like the "Hisui"color - to me it's the most beautiful one in the line. Used this dripper with the V60 filter and it performed really well. Definitely an option to try!
Finely ground with vivid, bright green color.
High quality with fresh and greasy smell
I bought the first pack from Kyoto store and obsessed ever since. The bright green colour also give me a soothing vibe when drink my matcha latte from glass cup . Thank you Kurasu
I’ve owned the 185 drippers in the past, this is my first 155 and I love it. Perfect for solo cups, plus incredible craft quality on the Mino pottery. Highly recommend!
I’ve subscribed for 2 months now and enjoyed a lot - read the introduction of partner brands, learning about different beans, and of course getting tons of joy from brewing and tasting the coffee. The delivery is quick and better than my expectation. Highly recommended to all coffee lovers!
Good service and great coffee - has also provided the opportunity to try roasters I would not have been aware of otherwise.
