Clean Drip
Clean drip is an all-glass, filterless coffee dripper that’s laser-cut and hand-blown from borosilicate glass. It's 100% recyclable and reduces waste by not using paper filters. Inspired by Vietnamese Phin style coffee drippers, Clean Drip makes the purest coffee possible.

Pure Materials, Better Coffee
Clean drip allows every skill-level of coffee lover to brew the best coffee without needing filters. The market for filterless coffee drippers consists of metal mesh cones which are prone to clogging and difficult to clean. Glass was selected as the optimal material for purity while being recyclable itself, making Clean Drip extremely sustainable. The design is inspired by both Phin style Vietnamese drippers and French-press coffee makers, but solves issues with both. Clean Drip is engineered for the perfect brew time, producing the best coffee.

Weight, Dripper & Base
The weight compresses coffee grounds, allowing water to be poured without pass-through into the coffee. The precise weight and hole pattern provide optimal flow-rate. The double-walled dripper sits perfectly on most mugs. It’s easy to clean and rarely clogs. The filter holds back grounds while coffee flows to the cup. The maple base protects the dripper while in storage and holds the weight while preparing to brew coffee.
