The Barrel Flavor Cup retains flavor and its mouth is gently arched inwards, as if it were a wine barrel. The Flavor Cup series is available in four different designs, each of which is intended to maximize the aroma of coffee. These are designed without a handle so you can feel the warmth of the beverage with your hand.

This special cup was developed so that the flavors and aromas of specialty coffees extracted by hand drip can be fully appreciated.
The rim of the cup is made thinner than a standard cup so that the delicate flavors of specialty coffee can be fully appreciated.
The cup is available in white, which beautifully shows the light blue color of the coffee, and black, which eliminates visual preconceptions and allows the user to focus on the sense of smell and taste.
The Rim
The rim of the cup is made thinner than a standard cup so that the delicate flavors of specialty coffee can be fully appreciated.
Rounded Bottom
The gently curved inner shape is designed to trap the aroma inside the cup, allowing you to feel the mellow aroma when it is close to your mouth.
Origami Flavor Cups
The ORIGAMI Flavor series now comes in 4 different shapes, Aroma, Barrel, Pinot, and Sensory. Sensory is slightly larger than the others and can act as a cup or a server. Pinot is available in both a cup and a bowl. The bowl is ideal for serving tea.
To fully appreciate the aroma of the coffee, use different shaped cups for different regions' beans, just as you would with wine or craft beer. At-home tasting sessions with ORIGAMI Flavor Cups would make for a fun activity.
The shape has been carefully calculated down to the smallest detail, allowing you to enjoy an aromatic experience like never before.
SHAPES & TASTING NOTES
Aroma Flavor Cup
The Aroma Flavor Cup distributes the aroma over the entire bottom surface. It also aids in sensing the acidity of the coffee.
Barrel Flavor Cup
With the Barrel Flavor Cup, coffee comes out slowly allowing the sweetness of the coffee to shine through.
Comes in Matte Black & White.
Pinot Flavor Cup
The Pinot Flavor Cup’s shape is inspired by pinot wine glasses. Coffee spreads evenly in your mouth, allowing you to taste every flavor possible.
Comes in Matte Black & White.
Pinot Flavor Bowl
The Pinot Flavor Bowl is a shorter version of the Pinot Cup. Its wider mouth allows you to appreciate the color of coffee but is also suited for tea. The bottom is unglazed, giving it a more handcrafted feel.
Comes in four colors.
Sensory Flavor Cup
The wide body and narrow mouth of the Sensory Flavor Cup accentuates the coffee aroma and helps it pour easier. This cup was designed in collaboration with Jia Ning Du, the 2019 World Brewers Cup Champion, and was used as the championship's winning cup.
Comes in pink and white.

Customer Reviews
I bought this together with aroma and pinot flavor cup. But, this barrel flavor cup is my favorite. It is such beautiful Japanese craftsmanship. I love the shape and the feel when I touch it. It's so beautiful sitting on my kitchen counter together with origami dripper. The best part is how this cup can enhance the coffee aroma. I can feel more sweetness and round body in a certain variety of beans, and of course, give me a different experience of how I enjoy my morning coffee.
