Pour over coffee brewing is a simple interaction of water and coffee grounds - aided by gravity. A simple art, but endlessly customisable. The devices we make can alter this interaction dramatically though simple changes. Coffee is also of the earth, and we keep this in mind too. Instead of owning 4 different devices, you can own the new V4 - with interchangeable bottoms to help you manipulate filter shape, flow rate, and geometry. This will completely change the extraction profile. The 4 best brewers in the world, in one tidy package - better for consumers & for the planet too.

Bio
An independent company from the heart of London, taking an iterative approach to product design in the world of coffee. Every year, we sit down and think - how can we do this better? We start from scratch and imagine an even better version of our products (if we see the need), on a path to create the best of the best. Being tiny, independent, and self-financed has forced us to take a bottom-up approach, going through the community upwards, investing in products rather than PR. We're proud of what we achieved thus far and excited for what comes next!
