At first glance, the GINO Glass Dripper doesn't look as though it were related to the making of coffee in any way. After all, the French press aside, more coffee makers are much more industrial and functional looking. On the other hand, the GINO Glass Dripper is much more delicate and stylish.
Designed by notNeutral, the GINO Glass Dripper is meant to brew one cup of Joe at a time. According to Creative Director Chiaki Kanda, "Using double-walled glass construction kept the heat insulated, eliminating the need for a handle, and enabled us to highlight the coffee extraction process. The minimal profile is elegantly tapered to sit atop the LINO mug like a crown, and also comfortably fit any grip."
