Freshly brewed cold gold!

With coffee, it’s all about speed. You’ve got instant coffee, coffee pods, coffee-to-go, premixed coffee, the works. However, take it from the true coffee aficionados when they say that time makes all the difference. While you’re hot-brewing your coffee to extract every bit of flavor from the beans, there’s nothing quite as healthy, aromatic, and refreshing as a cold-brew. Cold brews take time, but then again, all good things do!

Dripo is a rather handy, non-electric apparatus that allows you to patiently brew coffee using the cold-brew technique. Standing at one foot tall, this brewing kit allows you to make your cold coffee in two ways, one, using a drip technique where the water filters downwards through the coffee grounds, and two, where you just submerge the coffee grounds into the water and let them infuse their golden beauty into the clear liquid. Both techniques are said to be healthier and tastier than conventionally made cold-coffees. The best part? The Dripo converts into a leak-proof tumbler to carry your coffee (or even brew it) on the go.

Ideal for coffee lovers, the Dripo lets you experiment with a healthier, tastier, and more refreshing alternative. Set it up and leave it on your counter/desk or in your car for two hours and let the Dripo do its thing. You can even carry it around wherever you go, getting access to refreshingly good coffee no matter what, without heat or electricity. Yeah, you better stash that Keurig away.

Coffee + Chill

This is quite the week for coffee lovers! I’m a tea drinker myself, but I can’t say no to a tall glass of iced frappe. THAT’s my indulgence! You don’t see many apparatuses dedicated to preparing cold coffee, so here’s one from the bean-loving geniuses at Emerge Lab. Christened the Dripo, this little thing can prepare your favorite beverage in two different ways. Assemble the Dripo into an iced-drip apparatus, having chilled water dripping through your ground coffee, or a cold brew, where your coffee is immersed in cold water. Both techniques are proven to be healthy and to make your coffee tastier, some say. Once you’re done concocting your precious drink, the Dripo is nice enough to convert into a super handy tumbler that you can carry on the go!

Standing at just 1 ft. tall, the Dripo is the most portable coffee maker out there. Plus with no mechanical parts or electric power required, you can literally have your coffee wherever and whenever you feel (with the added bonus of knowing your little indulgence is freshly prepared and healthy too)! Take that, Starbucks!
