Dutch Lab Brewing Machines

The Art of Making Coffee

The Dutch Lab - a South Korean design studio that takes brewing the perfect Java to the next level! Their cold-brew coffee towers are sculptures, pieces of art inspired by architectural landmarks across the globe. But there is more to it. A lot more!

"Deep inside unexpectedly high degrees of the hot fire, a shaped sculpture is born from a shapeless object through a process of manufacture and polish."

Coffee, one essential part of many people’s daily and busy lives. New discoveries are always in the search for a better taste and efficiency of coffee for its consumers.

The methods of coffee-making vary from requiring expensive materials and tools to cheap and fast home made techniques. But the difference of the quality of these two extremes varies as much as its methods do.

This is where Dutch Lab took action.


Unlike regular coffee making methods, which require electricity for hot water, Dutch Coffee uses the cold drip method, which requires only a cold drip coffee machine, small round filters, water (not necessarily hot) and the force of gravity. And some time. Actually up to 12 hours!

The structure of this coffee machine consists of three flasks aligned vertically and water running through them with help of the cheapest form of energy: the force of gravity.

The first flask on the very top contains water. The second flask, which we call the coffee tank, contains coffee grounds. The final flask on the very bottom of the machine is where the result of this whole fancy and meditational process takes place. The water takes its time to combine with the coffee and create the luxurious, rich in flavour and fragrant Dutch Coffee.

There are several models to choose from, standing between a foot and a half and three and a half feet tall. Prices start at around $350 with some of the Steampunk models (pictured) selling for more than $7,000.
