Kono Meimon 2 Cup Dripper Set Black

Kono Meimon 2 Cup Dripper was developed in the very late 1960’s by the Coffee Syphon Company in Tokyo, Japan, and refined, into its basic final form in 1973.  The Kono Meimon dripper is distinguished by a large single opening in the bottom of the cone, similar to the Hario V60 (Kono was first btw), but with straight, and quite prominent internal ribs.  The internal design of the cone makes for quite a different extraction approach than other filter cones on the market.  The internal ribs are present in the bottom 1/3 of the cone, with the upper part of the cone wall completely smooth.  This means that once the brewing volume inside the cone rises above the ribs, a hydraulic force is applied straight down through the coffee bed, and once the brew volume is above the ribs, the addition of water to the slurry is quite forgiving compared to drippers with fully ribbed internal sides.

Established in 1925. The founder of the company, Akira Kono produced the first coffee siphon after years of research. In 1973 his successor designed the cone-shaped dripper, and the third president of the company went on to adapt this design for home use creating the “Drip Meijin”. Known not only for the quality of their coffee equipment but also for the excellence of their roasted beans, KōNO Coffee Syphon Company is a name worth knowing, both in and out of Japan.
