Embracing the increasing lean towards celebrating daily craft through respecting ingredients, using our hands to make something and enjoying the process, Craighton has created a free-standing manual coffee brewing kit that aims to make the pourover method more accessible to home brewers. Using a slower extraction speed than that of a pourover, the Manual Coffeemaker leans closer to the chemex method, but retains the use of Hario V60s filters.

The coffeemaker’s sculptural form has been made from borosilicate low-thermal-expansion glass, with a cone brewer sitting above a side opening in the outer form where you can slide in your glass beaker or cup of choice to catch the coffee. A bamboo base holds the glass brewer in place and insulates the mug from thermal loss, with the understated design aiming to nab some bench space in your kitchen. You can help Craighton take the design from prototype to mass production by supporting his Kickstarter campaign here.
