THE COLUM

MINI DRIPPER.

Unmatched Flavor Precision.

The COLUM adopts the vibrant and clean flavor profile of classic conical brewers with added intensity due to it's innovative vertical chamber.

Flavor, Undiluted.

The glass chamber features our 'UNIFIED FLOW' design, which focuses water
through the coffee bed without any misdirection to produce a rich and
uncompromising flavor extraction with minimal flavor dilution.

MATERIAL

ALCHEMY.

Glass and Steel, Only.

We set out to develop a timeless product and found that this can only be achieved with timeless materials. The mini-dripper is crafted out of 100% 304 Stainless Steel, and the glass column, Borosilicate Lab Glass. Both will endure countless memorable brew sessions for years to come.

THE

MINIFILTER.

Sustainably Small

When developing the COLUM, we challenged ourselves to design a pour over dripper that produces half the paper waste.

We're starting out small, but our goal is for Mini-Filter production to shift the unused paper scraps towards recyclable pre-consumer waste rather than non-recyclable post-consumer.

Satisfying Cleanup.

The Mini-Filter holder, or Filter Ring allows for easy cleanup. We call it the plop. After brewing, wait to cool, then remove the glass column, lift the filter out of the dripper and "plop" it down into the wastebin. Cleanup has never been so satisfying.

Untainted Extraction.

The COLUM is designed with the smallest-in-class 'Mini-Filter,' at half the size of the standard filter, it drastically reduces paper contact for a Filter-Taint Free, unobstructed flavor experience.

OVER AND

OVER AGAIN.

Consistent Brews Every Time.

Pouring markers offer precise water-level cues, ensuring consistent and repeatable recipes every time.

Built for the Senses.

The glass column is flared to amplify brewing aromas, while the transparent window lets you monitor every step of the brewing process.

Modularity [Experimental Mode]

We at Melodrip enjoy testing and combining tools to explore new ways of brewing.
The Filter Ring, Glass Column, and Minifilter can be combined and used with any 60 degree conical brewer on the market (we've even jammed a few wave filters with a flat bottom as well). This method adopts the flavor profile and flow rate of the host dripper along with an increase in flavor intensity.

IMPORTANT:

When melodrip is bought together with a COLUM:

USA Buyers: Your Melodrip will ship separately within 2 days.

International Buyers: Melodrip will ship together with COLUM, unless you purchase each separately.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! You can use all 60 degree conical filters, although the prescribed fit and performance (flowrate and flavor vibrancy) may not match that of our filters.

When testing against the Plastic Kono Conical Dripper, which has a similar wall thickness as the COLUM, the peak temperature and post pour heat retention were only 3-5F apart with neither showing a clear advantage.

  • COLUM total brew times are longer, thus extraction yields were higher.
  • COLUM has less exposed surface area with a different structural geometry so comparisons against any dripper are not apples to apples.
