The Launchpad

The Launchpad was born out of a scattered mess of pourover gear strewn about my counters and cabinets and the inconvenience of fetching it all each morning with bleary-eyed confusion, irritation, and a need to simplify my life. I needed a fully manual drip coffeemaker. The first model I built was simply a rectangle box with a hole in the top, but many iterations later we've reached a point of fruition with style, functionality, and variety. (These come in four styles: walnut, cherry, black, and white.) The Launchpad fits perfectly on a Hario drip scale, with slightly recessed tabs keeping everything centered and stable. A slot beneath your cup's platform holds a ceramic drip tray, which is available in black or white, you choose. It's tall enough to make coffee into a 16 ounce tumbler and the dripper hole is suitable for V60s or Kalita Wave or pretty much any dripper you might want to drip coffee out of. Add a Hario V60 dripper and Hario drip scale for the complete setup. And don't forget the filters!
