TETRA DRIP BREWER
BY BENJAMIN SAND
The Tetra Drip Foldable Coffee Brewer is one of the most compact pour-over solutions for coffee lovers who travel light. I’ve been using it on the road for over a year, and love its minimalist, origami-inspired design. It fits in a wallet-sized case (available for extra cost), looks great on any cup, and brews a surprisingly clean cup for something so portable. But it’s not without quirks.
The Tetra Drip’s biggest strength is its packability and build. It folds flat, takes seconds to assemble, and is made from stainless steel or resin depending on the model. Despite its simplicity, it delivers a solid, balanced brew that rivals larger home brewers.
The design is sleek and stylish—arguably one of the sexiest minimalist brewers around. It feels like a statement piece for travelers who care about both form and function.
The Positives
Ultra-compact – folds flat to fit in pockets or slim cases.
Minimalist design – stylish and modern with an origami feel.
Decent brew quality – delivers a clean, balanced pour-over.
Durable options – stainless steel version feels premium and long-lasting.
Easy setup – unfolds and assembles in seconds.
Leather Pouch - This costs extra, but is a stylish and well made pouch for keeping your tetra drip safe.
The Negatives
Coffee retention in corners – too much coffee gets trapped, making cleanup harder and slightly affecting extraction.
Not ideal for larger brews – best for single cups.
Sharp edges (on metal version) – not a problem in use, but worth noting if you have young children.
Thoughts
The Tetra Drip is a brilliant travel brewer for those who value portability and style. It’s sleek, durable, and makes good coffee—just be prepared for a bit of coffee build-up in the corners.
Still, for lightweight travel and minimalist setups, it’s hard to beat.
