The "Coffee Dripper Switch Sunrise" features a fine ceramic dripper and a unique holder equipped with a switch, allowing for versatile use between the immersion method, which soaks coffee grounds in hot water, and the traditional drip method, allowing for a two-way brewing experience. As a result, it is possible to bring out the flavor of various coffee beans easily.

A distinctive feature of the design is that it is a motif of the coastal landscape of Kujukurihama beach, Chiba Prefecture, where Mr. Sakaguchi operates his roastery. The dripper is elegantly dyed in a "sunrise gradation," while the holder draws inspiration from a sandy beach, together evoking the sensation of savoring coffee under the warm morning sun amidst the gentle sea breeze. The dripper part is carefully crafted one by one by artisans in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, a town of Arita ware that boasts a 400-year history. At the prototype stage, creating a gradation on the porcelain was difficult, so many improvements were made to create a natural shade from blue to orange. This product is a testament to Japanese craftsmanship, showcasing the exquisite gradations unique to porcelain in a stunning masterpiece.
