This Pretty V60 Brewed Coffee Faster Than Anything I Own

It Smells Better Than It Taste — a quiet coffee newsletter where I share what I'm learning about coffee, curiosity, and daily rituals. This channel is an extension of that space: https://www.itsmellsbetterthanittaste.com/ I finally unboxed the Origami dripper — the one I've quietly called the "pretty V60" and been pretty critical of. In this first-impressions review I brew a fresh cup, see how it actually performs, and ask the real question underneath all coffee gear: do you actually need this if you already love how you brew? Here's what stood out: Why I've been calling it the "pretty V60" (and whether that's fair) Price, size, and the filter options — cone shape vs. flat-bottom A brew so fast it might beat every dripper I own Surprising heat retention despite that quick draw-down A brighter cup — bright, but not offensive Origami vs. a $12–20 Hario V60: is the premium worth it? Have you brewed with the Origami, or are you happy with the dripper you've already got? Tell me in the comments — I want to know if you think fast filters actually make a better cup, or if it's all hype. Like and subscribe if you'd rather trust your own palate than the gear hype.
