he Kalita MINO ceramic dripper combines Japanese tradition with modern coffee brewing excellence. Handcrafted in Japan using the centuries-old Mino ware technique, each dripper undergoes a meticulous process, from chrysanthemum kneading to the final glost firing. This technique, originating in Gifu Prefecture, offers a rustic, natural satin finish and earthy tones, bringing warmth and charm to any space.

The MINO’s flat-bottom, 3-hole design paired with Kalita 185 Wave filters ensures an even extraction for smooth, balanced coffee free of bitterness. Its 20-wave filter and dripper minimize contact between water and the filter, allowing for an even flow and rich, full flavor.

Perfect for home or café brewing, the Kalita MINO reflects the craftsmanship of Oribe, Setoguro, and Shino wares. Whether you're serving 2 to 4 cups, the MINO dripper delivers not just exceptional coffee but also a touch of artisanal beauty to your brewing ritual.

    Customer photo review of Kalita MINO Ceramic Dripper 185 - Sand Gray

    The Kalita Mino ceramic dripper 185 is very well designed and made. Its size works really well for making our usual 2-3 cups of coffee twice daily. Using it allows me to brew the most flavorful cup of coffee. It is a pleasure to use and is also very aesthetically pleasing.

    Customer video review of Kalita MINO Ceramic Dripper 185 - Sand Gray

    The Kalita MINO Ceramic Dripper is my go-to dripper and it’s hella aesthetically pleasing to me. What’s more important? A consistent cup of coffee every time that my wife and I look forward to in the morning.

    With the Kalita method I get a more tasty and robust cup of coffee while using just a regular amount of ground coffee

    Customer photo review of Kalita MINO Ceramic Dripper 185 - Sand Gray

    This works so much better for me than the small steel version. The larger size allows me to make my tasty coffee faster and with less hovering while pouring the water. As others mentioned, the lip is not wide enough to fit over most mugs so I cut a hole in a take-out lid and it solved the issue perfectly!

    Makes good coffee, we’re very happy with it.

    It is very coffee thing and does coffee quite good. It holds the thing that keeps the coffee grinds from getting in the coffee-infused water that drips down into a coffee water collector. The thing that keeps the coffee grinds from getting in your coffee does most of the work, though, but this does a good job holding it. They're a good team. Also, YOU CAN'T DRINK FROM IT, because it has holes in the bottom so do not try please or possible embarassy.

    Super simple to use and gets amazing coffee. I'm very happy with this purchase. I use it for single 250ml cup from time to time even though it says its for 2 to 4 cups. I've had no issues.

    Awesome pour over!

    Great pour over option. Brews faster than the competitors. Produces a balanced cup with tasting notes. Perfect for what I need.

    Prettier in person and makes great coffee.

    It’s an aesthetic upgrade from my plastic pour over, and it makes excellent coffee.

    using this to brew 1-1.1 liters. with 60g of coffee it *just* works. roast my own so it’s super fresh and the bloom can come close to exceeding matching filter capacity. would love one of these that was a smidge bigger but it’s a great alternative to a hario v60. for smaller amounts it’s perfect. fun how it produces a slightly different cup than the nearly identical version in steel.

    Arrived on time, really beautiful, and I love how it works.

    Pour over is a breeze with this product!

    This makes the best coffee, and customer service is exceptional. My first order arrived chipped even though is was packed carefully and almost in excess. I contacted customer servic7and a new one was sent out immediately. My partner who drinks another method and brand of coffee maker now uses the Kalita exclusively, says the flavors are much better

    Works really well fast drip as well

    Very nice

    This is my third try to find a ceramic cone drip filter. This is the only one that drips well, doesn’t slide off my cup and has a well built and beautiful feature. The price is higher, but I am very happy to have found what I was looking for.

    great product , some of my mugs are wide rimmed, and the it fits , but seemed it needed to be wider at bottom.so far enjoying it..

    Finding this is the best cup of coffee from a pour-over process that I have ever had. Glad i made the upgrade!

    So beautiful and functional. Art in daily living.

    Love it! It's not plastic!

    We were looking for a replacement for our old plastic Melitta which was flaking plastic bits. So happy to find this! Delivery was quick and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase!

    Really solid. Upgraded after I broke my glass dripper (again).

    This is a very nice-looking basket! It doesn't clog and produces a delicious cup of coffee. The Kalita papers are pretty fast, so I can control the flow rate. It does have a lot of thermal mass, so it requires preheating.

    I really like the brewer having used the V60 for almost 7 years as my daily driver. The Kalita is smaller but for 2 people it’s about perfect. The product itself arrived exactly as the image depicts online. I really have nothing bad to say about it, it brews a nice cup of coffee.

    Works as intended!

    It's well made, looks good, and, most importantly, makes smooth, tasty coffee!

    Love it

    It's great

    The product is excellent quality, was delivered on time, and makes great coffee. I am very pleased with this purchase.

    easy to use. Great taste

    attractive and well made, love the wave design and flat bottom filter. a faster brew than expected, without compromising on taste. very happy with my purchase!

    This was too heavy. I bought it with 185 size filters and was sent the 155 size. I returned both unopened and unused not realizing that I would be charged a return fee and a restocking fee. I paid $43.95 and was returned $26.35. I won’t be ordering again. Too bad because I like Kalita products.

    Love it. I had an older model but the ceramic is very cool. Now ... I accidentally broke it on day #1 by my own stupidity. So I'm going to order a new one!

    Amazing!
