The Slow System
MINIMALIST BEVERAGEWARE FOR MAKING COFFEE, TEA & COCKTAILS
TAKE IT SLOW
The Slow System is a flexible collection of tools that aims to elevate your daily rituals. With one system you can make pour-over coffee or press coffee in the morning, brew loose leaf tea or ice-brew coffee in the afternoon, and mix a cocktail at the end of the day.
GLASS & STEEL CONSTRUCTION
It all centers on the mixing glass—a borosilicate mini-pitcher that can be outfitted with a stainless-steel pour-over dripper and a “no-press” strainer. Rounding out the collection are rocks glasses and mugs in extra-thick amber borosilicate glass.
POUR OVER COFFEE
The Manual Dripper is a stainless steel pour over filter that uses flat-bottomed paper filters. This means a more forgiving process and a more even extraction than what you get with cone-shaped drippers. Coffee aficionados can use Wave-style filters, however small auto-drip filters from your local grocery store work as well—for a more common and inexpensive option. The all steel construction also makes the dripper a durable option for camping or travel—or just falling into your sink on a rushed Monday morning. Pour-over coffee doesn't have to be precious to be special.
NO-PRESS COFFEE
The traditional French press plunger adds turbulence to your coffee when it presses the grinds—this extra movement means at best a cloudy cup and at worst bitter, overextracted coffee. Inspired by this technique, the No-Press makes full-bodied immersion coffee without the press—simply mix coffee with hot water, wait 5-10 minutes and pour.
LOOSE LEAF TEA
The strainer is also designed to be a loose leaf tea brewer—perfect for high quality teas that can be steeped multiple times. Simply add loose leaf tea, steep and pour into a mug or rocks glass—depending on your style. Designed in collaboration with our friends at Spirit Tea, our strainer is key to their new “Standard Brewer.”
STIRRED COCKTAILS
Stirred cocktail preparation usually happens in heavy glass pitchers with hand-held strainers—this looks great in a bar, but it can be awkward at home. The handle on the Mixing Glass makes stirring and pouring easy and the slide-in strainer eliminates the hand acrobatics. The extra thick rocks glasses will hold up to the heartiest cheers.
AMBER IS THE COLOR OF YOUR ENERGY
Amber is the early morning light, the low sun in late afternoon, the twilight of early evening. These transition cycles of the day are natural times for slowing down and taking a break—The Slow System was designed for these moments of release.
