urestone combines pour-over coffee brewing and gongfu tea preparation in a compact ceramic set built around a reusable alumina mineral filter. The faceted brewer features a Brutalist-inspired black ceramic body, square 50 ml tasting cups, a matching drip tray and an inverted pyramid filter that eliminates disposable paper filters while allowing aromatic oils to pass through. The microporous alumina filter separates sediment as water flows through its mineral structure, while the hand-shaped eagle-beak spout and raised handle improve pouring control and heat insulation. Each component is formed from black Lubao ceramic clay and fired at 1,000 degrees before being hand-finished.
The brewing set contains no electronic components, plastic parts or rubber seals, relying entirely on ceramic and mineral-based materials. A reusable filter removes the need for paper replacements, while the tray stabilizes the brewer and collects excess drips during use. The standard package includes the brewer, two tasting cups, drip tray and alumina filter for $69, while the Ultimate Package adds wooden pallets, an EVA carry case and a combined tea strainer and coffee spoon. Global shipping begins in November 2026.
