Dripper Mugen Ceramica HARIO

I was skeptical about a dripper with no ribs, but the paper filter clings perfectly and the single-stream pour gives a surprisingly clean, even extraction. The star-shaped grooves do all the work, and cleanup is just a quick rinse.

The flat interior is the whole trick—paper filter clings tight and the flow stays steady from start to finish, no swirling or stalling. First pour came out surprisingly clean and even, and cleanup is just a quick rinse.

Brewing with this dripper feels almost meditative—the water just flows through in one steady stream, and the star-shaped grooves keep the paper filter perfectly in place. I've gotten a cleaner, more consistent cup every morning since switching. The ceramic body holds heat beautifully, too.
