Description

AirDripper - Contactless Filter Brewer

This is an experimental brewer designed so that there is no water-plastic contact. Compatible with V60-02 paper filters.

HIGHY RECOMMENDED TO PRINT IN PETG FOR BETTER HEAT RESISTANCE (steam coming from the cup can deform materials like PLA)

 

The idea is more or less similiar Hario Suiren but with even less contact points with the paper filter. Some people believe that in theory it makes the brew no-bypass, because the water cannot find any paths from the sides. Great for experimenting with extractions and brew times.

PRINTED PERFECTLY. I finished printed the locking ring this morning and tested it out a few minutes ago. It does in fact make great coffee. The tolerances for the stand-offs and locking ring are a little loose for me but not enough to cause any issues. it may very well be the thermal expansion properties of my PETG. There was no deformation during use and I like that everything kind of nests together when broken down.

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, the tolerances are always a problem and will vary depending on the filament and the machine. And about the brewing, I find it interesting that the drawdown time is significantly slower compared to regular V60. Have you noticed that as well?

Actually - I had the opposite experience. I usually brew about 16 oz from the V60. I found that the last 4 oz of water wouldn't draw from due to the grounds packing down. With yours - it was a smooth, even flow (coffee coarseness is set a little finer than drip). First time run with it yielded a better cup than I have been getting off the v60.

Interesting! For me, the brew that usually takes 3 minutes max on V60 took between 5 and 6 minutes on the AirDripper. Same coffee, same dose, same grind, same pour

Great idea and model! One of the support brackets broke during assembly and disassembly, so I thought, what if I add magnets to the design? I made one quickly, so don't judge me too harshly:)Now it's even more fun to assemble:)

I think you can upload the model you modified and then tag it as a remix of the original model

It works very well for brewing drip coffee in the office. I used the paper filter specified by the designer. It was a bit cumbersome at first to fit the paper, as I had to adjust it myself, but I think I'll be able to fit it well once I get used to it. I attached the pillar part with glue

it worked 90% for my filters. I just need to adjust the tolerances so they are a little tighter, personal preference. Thank you

I had to do a lot of trial and error to get the tolerances tight enough for a snug fit (by default, they were way too loose on an Ender 3 V3 KE), and ended up using ~2x the amount of plastic; but the whole thing still ended up costing a fraction of Hario Suiren. I'm not a coffee expert, so the only notes I get from drinking coffee is "coffee". With the AirDripper, I got those notes. I also drew up a simple grommet that attaches to the bottom part and holds the dripper in place above the vessel. PETG is too slippery, so I figured it could use some extra security. Feel free to steal this idea and add to the model, I'm including my simple sketch of a revolution as a screenshot. The tolerance needs to be perfect though, so the grommet is a tight fit but still removable.

I needed to add a brim for for better bed adhesion, but otherwise the model is perfect
