Industry First 'Barista Teapot for Iced Coffee' Launched—Supervised by a Barista with 30 Years of Experience, Pre-sales Started on Makuake

Overview Coffee equipment brand BREWCRAFT started pre-sales of the 'Barista Teapot for Iced Coffee' on the crowdfunding platform Makuake on May 25, 2026, at 9:00.

Product Features This product is the industry's first dedicated coffee teapot for iced coffee, focusing on 'extraction temperature.'

By combining a domestically produced, lidless teapot developed by Tokoname craftsmen with an original pure titanium ice cube, the coffee is rapidly cooled by 20°C immediately after hot water draws out the flavor and aroma. This allows anyone to replicate the temperature control technique of a professional barista, 'stopping' the coffee's flavor in the temperature range where bitterness does not emerge (70–75°C).

### A New Approach: 'Temperature Design' Coffee bitterness and astringency components dissolve actively at high temperatures above 90°C and decrease significantly below 80°C. Using this temperature characteristic, the Barista Teapot first draws out only the umami and aroma quickly with hot water above 90°C, then injects the pure titanium ice cube to rapidly cool it. In just 1 minute, the temperature drops by about 20°C, stopping extraction just before bitterness emerges (at 70–75°C).

This solves issues like the 8-hour wait for cold brew or the thinness of pouring drip coffee over ice, based on the concept of 'designing the temperature.'

### Commitment to Materials The teapot itself is Japanese pottery developed by craftsmen in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture. The fine irregularities of the pottery surface, fired at approximately 1,200°C, adsorb excess bitterness and harshness during extraction. Because it uses immersion extraction without paper filters, it fully draws out coffee oils, resulting in a rich yet clean taste. The lidless design also allows the aroma of the coffee to spread during extraction.

### Controlling Strength By changing the amount of coffee grounds, steaming time, and the number of times the teapot is swirled, users can freely control the strength, from a light cup to espresso-like intensity. The lidless design allows users to visually and olfactorily check the color and aroma of the coffee during extraction.

Extraction takes 2 minutes and cleanup takes 30 seconds. Users can also enjoy arrangements like affogato and iced café lattes.
