HARIO Craftsman Series – Imari Porcelain The Kaneko family established Imari Tōen with the goal of preserving the traditional techniques of Arita and Imari ceramics while producing pieces of the highest quality. To achieve this, they invited renowned Kyoto ceramic artist Takujin Sawada, to help establish Imari Tōen. Built upon exceptional craftsmanship and design, the kiln has continually pursued originality while maintaining an uncompromising spirit, striving to blend tradition with modernity. The fusion of craftsmanship and HARIO's modern Switch dripper embodies the meeting of a traditional and modern world through the lens of art. This modified V60 dripper is a hybrid method that allows you to brew like a standard V60 pour over or immersion brewer. Simply add ground coffee, a standard 02 V60 filter and hot water. Let the coffee steep and flip the switch to start the draw down process. Hario's ceramic drippers are made from Arita-yaki, a traditional style of Japanese ceramics with a 400 year history. Each dripper is handmade by a local craftsperson and, coupled with its functional beauty, create a stunning contrast between the traditional and the modern.
