Blue Bottle Dripper

Blue Bottle's custom dripper was designed in collaboration with Japanese ceramics artisans and uses a flat-bottom design with a single drainage hole. It brews only one cup at a time (max 10oz), which is either a limitation or a feature depending on your perspective — Blue Bottle argues that single-cup brewing is the only way to achieve optimal extraction. At $28, it comes with their custom paper filters ($12 for 75). The dripper was designed specifically for Blue Bottle's recipe: 30g coffee, 350g water, 205F, 3:30 total brew time. Nestle acquired Blue Bottle in 2017 for ~$700 million.
