Tricolate

Created in 2018 by the Australian company Tricolate, this brewer stands out on the market, and has quickly become a favourite. Firstly, it is accessible to beginners and professionals alike, as it doesn’t require fancy kettles, and it can brew decently without good water (although we do not recommend this). However, the design is what sets it apart from other filter brewers on the market. Firstly, it is created to reduce or even circumvent entirely an occurrence in filter brewing called bypass, which is where water avoids contact with the coffee by passing outside of the filter and ‘bypassing’ the coffee. As a result the Tricolate has high extraction and can create very sweet, bodied brews, whilst using much less coffee than usual, for example, a typical filter recipe calls for a coffee to water ration of 1:15 or 1:16, but the design of this brewer means you can easily reach 1:22 ratios and it is still not at all weak. It also uses a built in shower-screen, to help evenly and consistently distribute water over the coffee grounds, regardless of the kettle you use. On top of all that, it is made from TRITAN plastic, which is BPA and BPS free and has a great thermal stability. It comes with its own custom filter papers made in Germany, from consistent paper pulp to ensure even flow rate and extraction. This brewer is all about creating consistent, precise, delicious coffee, with as little required as possible, and we love it.
