Description

Elevate your pour-over experience with the Kalita MINO, a beautifully crafted 3-hole ceramic dripper that combines elegance with performance. Made in Japan, the MINO’s natural satin finish and slightly weathered look bring warmth and rustic charm to any café or home. Its neutral, earthy tones create a cozy atmosphere while offering a fresh new take on the classic Kalita design.

Crafted using the traditional Mino ware technique from Japan’s Gifu Prefecture, the MINO undergoes a meticulous process. This includes precise “chrysanthemum kneading” for a smooth texture, potter’s wheel shaping, slow drying, bisque firing, glazing, and a final high-temperature glost firing. This artisanal craftsmanship ensures that each MINO dripper is a handcrafted piece that marries classic artistry with contemporary brewing needs.

The MINO utilizes Kalita 185 Wave filters, designed for foolproof, even extractions. The unique 20-wave filter and dripper work in harmony to minimize contact between water and filter, allowing for an even flow. The flat-bottom, 3-hole design prevents any build-up, ensuring each brew is free from bitterness and full of rich, balanced flavor.

Perfect for coffee lovers who value simplicity and consistency, the Kalita MINO offers a timeless design and the reliable quality that makes Kalita Wave brewers so cherished. Whether for home or café use, this dripper brings warmth, personality, and impeccable coffee to every cup.

About the Brand

At Espresso Parts, we’ve always had a deep respect for Japanese coffee culture—its precision, intentionality, and timeless design. Kalita captures all of that. Since 1958, they've been crafting pour-over brewers that are as beautiful as they are functional, delivering clean, balanced cups with every brew.

We partnered with Kalita Japan in 2016 to bring their signature brewers, like the Wave and the 102, to baristas and home brewers across the U.S. That relationship evolved into Kalita USA in 2022, making it easier than ever to explore and enjoy their lineup—including favorites like the MINO, a handcrafted ceramic dripper made in Japan’s Gifu Prefecture using traditional Mino-yaki techniques.

Whether you’re brewing at home, on bar, or in the wild, Kalita’s tools are built to elevate the ritual—and the result—every single time.
