Minimalist design meets hidden technology


Building from the grounds up
We began the design process with dozens of form studies that evolved with countless 3D printed parts, research and discovery in hardware stores, and even at-home slip casting. Each iteration yielded new insights and considerations. In the end, a combination of clear product vision, iterative prototyping, and a few happy accidents produced the perfect solution.

The result is a three-piece stackable system that includes a funnel, lid, and carafe. It’s deceptively simple and gives the user full control over the brewing process.




Designed in Austin, made in Portland
Production had to be as simple as our design, which meant using the fewest number of parts, tooling, and materials. We had to choose a supplier that was amenable to small production runs, and also willing to dig into the design process with us side-by-side. Mudshark Studios, in Portland, Oregon, proved the ideal partner—a one-stop shop for developing and producing ideas in clay, utilizing time-honored traditions alongside new technologies.
