When crafting a pourover, do you accidentally pour too hard, too soft, or have trouble keeping a steady stream out of your kettle?
Do you nail the perfect cup feeling like you "got this!" just to brew the next one that tastes weaker or more bitter than before?
MELODRIP will help your brew your ideal cup by transforming your worst pours into a gentle rain and enhance your best pours into a fully saturating sauna for your coffee!
With MELODRIP, you'll be brewing the most flavor and nuance out of your favorite pour-over, while delivering consistent brews free of impurities found in standard brewing methods.
HERE'S HOW TO BREW WITH MELODRIP
1.Pour
Pour with a bare kettle to evenly saturate the dry coffee grounds.
2.Stir
Gently stir with the included glass stick to find any dry spots and ensure full saturation.
3.SPRINKLE
Hydrates evenly, reduces human error, and keeps micro particles and fines from flowing into your cup.
4.Serve
Enjoy the cleanest brew! Sweetness and Vibrancy are more defined with a Crisp and Silky mouthfeel.

USER IMPRESSIONS : COFFEE CLARITY REDEFINED
Before we had a melodrip kickstarter campaign, we had a community of beta testers. Their excitement, enthusiasm, and encouragement fueled our confidence to take melodrip toward full production. Below are impressions from some of the most discriminating Home Brewers, Competitors, and Coffee Pros who were some of the first to try melodrip.

Title: Home Brewing Fanatic
I am a coffee enthusiast/hobbyist and pourover fanatic. I live in Lexington, KY. I was just introduced to your melodrip by my good friend ______, head roaster and part owner of ____ Coffee Co. in Lexington. He made a light roast of a Colombian (Huila region) 1200m coffee with and without the melodrip. The results were outstanding! The coffee was much fruitier, and the body was much richer. The mouth-feel was so much thicker yet so much cleaner. Even the color came out lighter. The filter also did not get muddy as compared to just using a gooseneck kettle. This is an incredible product that you have created! I have to get one for my home!Thanks for making such a major impact on the coffee world with this need-to-have product!

Impressions:“The first tool that able to help brewing coffee cleaner and shows all the taste notes. With Melodrip, we can explore more on many brewing variables. Before melodrip, brewing with no agitation is not possible. But now we can control the agitation variables.”

Title:Barista, Home-Brewer
Location:Quills Coffee, Louisville KY
Impressions:“I first heard about the melodrip earlier this year through a friend I follow on Instagram. I inquired about it, and a few weeks later, Ray sent a melodrip to Quills Coffee for us to use and try. I was able to take it home with me, and have since been using it in my brews at home. Ray was SO helpful as I was learning and practicing using the melodrip. My favorite experience came when he passed along some brew guides using the melodrip with an Aeropress. I was so surprised at how clean, bright, and sweet using the melodrip made the finished cup. It is an easy tool that has a profound effect on the clarity of coffees brewed, I recommend the melodrip to anyone who is seeking for greater clarity, sweetness and balance in their brews.”

Title:Home brewer
Location:malmö, sweden
Impressions: “I had never before experimented with the level of agitation in my coffee, so the melodrip opened a whole new field for me. It has been so much fun and very interesting to see how different coffees are affected by being brewed using this tool. I have made it a thing to brew every coffee that passes through my kitchen using the melodrip at least once. I brew mostly light roasts and with the melodrip I get access to flavors that otherwise would have passed without making themselves known.”

Title:Assistant Trainer, Competitor
Location:Onyx Coffee Lab, Springdale, AR
Impressions:“The melodrip is a device that changed the way I brew, and changed my expectations of manual brewed coffee. I've wanted some sort of a shower head for attachment to control flow rate, but the theories provided by Ray with the Melo were things I didn't expect. Clean brews, and repeatable results are music to my ears as a trainer and competitor. I'm excited to use the Melo and keep exploring all of the avenues that we can take it.”

Impressions:“Melodrip is not just a tool, it's a method. Being able to control agitation, and dial in that variable, you can get some crazy clean and nuanced cups. This brew method is blowing my mind, and makes me question assumptions we have when brewing coffee.”

Impressions:“I don’t think many people realize how easy it can be to overextract and choke a brew. Melodrip is the tool specialty coffee has needed for a long time. Melodrip will give you more control and precision in your brewing than you’ve probably ever had”
PRECISE CONTROL IS KEY
Ground coffee contains trillions of tiny particles called "fines"- many of which are small enough to pass through the average filter paper.
By pouring with melodrip, you can control the turbulence that suspends these fines that can flow out of your brew and into your cup.
FILTRATION IS FINITE
Ground coffee's role of secondary filtration is often overlooked in a POUROVER.
Often defined as "CAKE FILTRATION" larger sized coffee particles can retain a tremendous amount of fines.
By reducing agitation and disturbance to the slurry, fines are less likely to flow and impact the porosity of the filter paper.
The result is a coffee of unparalleled clarity and flavor transparency at high extractions
[ISSUe.º1] THE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD
Kettle-pour agitation is essential, but only when skillfully applied.
The major drawback of the pouring kettle, is its inability to isolate the negative effects of agitation when applying heat and hydration (particle-suspension/ unintended spikes in extraction.)
It's great for dissolving solubles (tasties), but it's equally great at distributing insolubles (nasties).
[ISSUe.º2] THE FINEST OF FINES
Paper coffee filters are capable of retaining most particles larger than 20 microns.
Although this seems sufficient from a practical standpoint, a single dose of ground coffee can include a considerable volume of <20micron particles.
While suspended in fluid, these tiny particles are capable of flowing through the filter paper during the brewing process.
