SOLO Dripper

SOLO is a coffee brewing system designed by Jackie Tran, as a brewer, for brewers. Solo Dripper is made from durable polypropylene (PP) material, chosen for its resilience and heat resistance, making it ideal for travel and optimal brewing performance. PP ensures the dripper withstands travel demands while maintaining the brewing conditions needed for a perfect cup of coffee.

Faster Flow Rate.

The large hole in the middle allows water to flow through the coffee grounds quickly. This faster flow emphasizes the coffee's bright, clean flavors, making it ideal for those who enjoy a lighter, more vibrant cup.

40° Angled Walls.

The walls of the dripper are angled at 40 degrees, which helps guide the water evenly through the coffee grounds. This ensures that the coffee is extracted uniformly, giving you a balanced flavor without over-extracting.

Curved Bottom Hole.

The curved bottom is designed to guide the water smoothly towards the central hole, ensuring even saturation of the coffee grounds. This helps prevent channeling and promotes consistent extraction, key to achieving a balanced cup every time.

Consistency.

The design makes it easy to get a consistent brew every time, allowing you to control how the coffee tastes by adjusting things like grind size and pouring technique.

Balance.

Even with the faster flow, the design ensures that the coffee grounds are evenly saturated, leading to a well-rounded cup with both body and flavor complexity.

Parameters.

Every parameter of the Solo Dripper, including the bottom hole, diameter, and radius, can be evenly divided. This cohesive design ensures that every aspect of Solo contributes to its overall performance and ease of use.

Symbolism.

The number 9 holds deep significance in various contexts.

In many cultures, the number 9 symbolizes completeness and the end of a cycle, resonating with our goal of perfecting the coffee brewing process.

It represents a state of balance and harmony.

Geometry.

The 40° angle is not just about balance and symmetry. It improves the coffee extraction process. By controlling the angle, we ensure even water flow.

The curved bottom ensures smooth and even water flow, reducing channeling and enhancing extraction. This design mirrors natural geometric forms, allowing for optimal water dispersion and consistent brewing results.

Portability.

The Solo Dripper is compact and portable, fitting most glass servers and carafes without needing a separate Base. This makes it ideal for both home use and travel, as well as in our cafes.
