Kalita Hasami Ware HA155 Dripper – The Perfect Fusion of Japanese Coffee Innovation and Traditional Ceramics
The Kalita Hasami Ware HA155 Dripper represents an exceptional collaboration between Kalita, Japan's renowned coffee equipment brand, and the time-honored ceramic tradition of Hasami ware. Designed specifically for hand-pour brewing of 1–2 cups of coffee, this dripper combines 400 years of ceramic artistry with modern coffee brewing techniques.
Ceramic Heritage & Craftsmanship
Hasami ware originates from the town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, with a ceramic tradition spanning over 400 years. This distinguished pottery craft is renowned for its semi-translucent white porcelain and exceptional artisanal quality. The ceramics are fired at approximately 1,300°C using Amakusa porcelain stone, a premium raw material prized in Japanese ceramics.


Distinctive Design Features
 
 
Triple-Hole Filtration Design: The bottom features three precisely engineered holes that optimize flow rate while preventing coffee from remaining stagnant in the dripper, thereby reducing off-flavors and bitterness.
 
 
Pronounced Rib Grooves: The interior is engraved with distinctive ribbed ridges that create channels between the dripper and filter paper, enhancing heat convection and preventing the filter from sealing completely against the ceramic walls.
 
 
Delicate Semi-Translucent Finish: The exceptionally thin ceramic body exhibits light-transmitting properties when held to light, showcasing the master craftsman's superior technical skill.

Material Advantages
 
 
Excellent Heat Retention: The ceramic material provides superior thermal insulation, minimizing temperature fluctuations during the brewing process and preserving the coffee's intended flavor profile.
 
 
Exceptional Durability: The high-temperature firing process creates a hardened porcelain with excellent resistance to chipping and cracking, ensuring longevity with proper care.
 
 
Easy Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface resists staining and residue buildup, making it simple and quick to clean after each use.
