The Minimal is a durable portable coffee maker designed by Eilong. The company created the travel drip coffee maker with a focus on portability and a user-friendly design. Made to ensure the perfect drip with every brew, the Minimal is highly portable due to its lightweight form.
Offering a technical build, this drip coffee maker is ideal for road trips, camping, or at-home use. To further ensure its durability, the coffee maker is encased in a vinyl travel case. Upon each purchase, consumers receive the Minimal glass dripper and cup, a filter stand, and a full stock of reusable cloth filters. The glass dripper and cup are made from borosilicate glass for maximum heat resistance, similar to that found in lab flasks.
