Kingrinder K6 vs Origami Dripper

“I sincerely think this is a misunderstanding/mistranslation/overreaction. JIS standards have lead-free glazes for all food contact surfaces, so there is no issue. They have stated out of an abundance of transparency that the logo might contain trace amounts, but it’s over-glazed and in a non-contact area anyway. Literally zero risk here. But hey. Send me your origami drippers, I’ll use them without the slightest hesitation. Except that I won’t, because it’s a pain in the ass design, what with no handles and a separate base, with no particular brewing benefit. Pretty thing, though. If you like flats, a Kalita 185 in glass, ceramic, or stainless is a better choice anyway. If you like conicals, glass is the best V60. And if you’re somehow drawn to crossing filters, waves do just fine in a v60. There’s also the notNeutral Gino if you want to get freaky and upgrade your thermal performance along the way. Brewista has a range of options too. There is no reason for this to be a thing. The origami is fine if you like to use it, there are many options if you’ve grown tired of it.”

“Yup that's what they do sometimes. Spike the price up so that they can put it on "sale" and you end up only saving a buck or 2. I've been watching the K6 grinders and they went up 30 bucks day before they went on sale. And with 20% off new price you only save $5. Total scam, but I guess something is better than nothing.”
