Question What's the different between the Donut Dripper and the Mountain Dripper?
Answer Donut dripper takes up to 4 cups and created for dark roasted beans which is the main trend in Japanese coffee beans. It has more h\eight than that Mountain so more beans hit the coffee grounds, giving the coffee a more heavy taste balance, which again works very well with dark roasted beans.
The Mountain Dripper takes up to 2 cups created with the Donut in mind but designed more for Third wave / Western coffee bean culture with hints of acidity and fruitiness. Overall it drips slightly faster than the Donut and produces a more "clean" taste pallet great for light-medium roasted beans.
Question: How does the dripper align with the wooden base? Does it have ridges for the dripper to be stable?
Answer: The porcelain dripper just sits lightly on top of the wooden base. It does not have any ridges. Since the wooden base and ceramic drippers are each individually hand made, they are not "perfectly" constructed and you may need to find the "right spot" for the dripper to sit on the base. Personally, our team at Kurasu usually don't have any issues of the dripper titling for example, while extracting coffee.
I must confess, I first bought this dripper for its design. It could be exposed in a museum of modern art. But as always, I'am amazed by the coffee that comes out. It is less strong than with the V60 but it is more aromatic. I recommend it without hesitation.
I got this for my husband as a birthday gift and we’ve been so please with the results.
wooden donut is somewhat slippery and filter folding is a bit annoying but overall it does what it supposed to do. looks good too. not a bad choice after all.
It shares an outstanding Japanese design, and produces a very distinctive median body cup of joe.
Beautiful, elegant, well crafted product!
Has totally changed the way I feel about hand pours. I’ve used ALOT of methods and really am enjoying the unique qualities this dripper brings out in our coffees. (Typically seen making chemex and V60 often)
The brewer is my go to for my first coffee of the day
