https://www.kousoku-offset.co.jp/idea-idea/products/paper-dripbagholder The bag gets soaked during dripping… Solve the problem with paper An affordable and delicious drip coffee when you want to take a break. When I set it in a cup and slowly poured hot water…the bag was soaked in hot water! Have you ever had the experience of having a bad taste and losing the aroma and flavor? When a creator who loves drip coffee looked for a good product on the market, he found that “There are stainless steel stands, but they’re kind of inorganic and tasteless.” So, I planned and prototyped a paper coffee drip holder myself. Trial and error to find the best shape. Pursuing the design that can only be expressed through paper First, we used various commercially available drip bags to find the optimal position and size to set the bag. By making the stand trapezoidal, we aimed for stability. Also, since the set part is covered by the cup, you can expect a steaming effect.

I thought the trapezoid shape would look cute, like a financier, but I decided to take another step and add feathers,” says the creator. After use, it folds up into a triangular shape, resembling a tent. Even if you place it on a table or kitchen counter, it will become a part of your interior.

On the front, there is an icon depicting how to use the drip bag holder. Unlike stainless steel drip bag stands, this product has a warm feel to it. The paper used is the functional paperboard “Brown Series”. It is used for sweets mounts and
partitions, and has the ability to repel water, so you don’t have to worry about it tearing easily even if it gets wet or gets exposed to steam. The planned ideas are actually printed using our new sheet-fed press. This was my first time printing on this paper using a sheet-fed press, and the result was as expected in terms of color and texture.

It’s okay if you don’t have it, but it’s something I purposely made or something playful that will make you laugh. By creating ideas using paper to make everyday life more enjoyable, we hope to expand the range of expression possible with paper products. In addition, by disclosing ideas and the possibilities of printing, we aim to create
opportunities for creators to match their “I wish there was a product like this” and the market’s “It would be fun if there was a product like this!” Masu. ● Idea Idea Official Website
