⚠️ New Material Available! FROST 🥶
This material is 3D-printed Tritan which gives the Lift a higher heat tolerance and greater general durability with the same awesome pouring control as the Melodrip Lift.
This is the Melodrip Lift 2.0; the next evolution of a creative and functional collaboration between myself and 2022 USBRC Champion, 2022 WBRC Runner-up, Elika Liftee.
What is included in Version 2.0??
- Ergonomic improvements to the outer ring that allow better handling
- Better engagement between the Lift and the Melodrip Dish
- An elevated position of the Melodrip Dish to keep the nozzles out of the brew
- Wider openings for the Bypass Pouring method
- Introduction of a specific OREA V3 variant of the Lift
💧It is highly recommended to use a Negotiator with your OREA V3 (Large) to fully enjoy the Hybrid Pouring technique with the Melodrip Lift. I also provide this tool for sale: https://etsy.me/3mUyeZK
Important notes:
- The 'kit' that includes the Melodrip Dish does *not* include the steel handle and glass stir stick)
- If you already own a Melodrip, we offer the Melodrip Lift by itself to use with your existing gear.
- The "V3" variant is not "Version 3" of the Melodrip Lift -- it is an exclusive version made for the OREA V3 brewer
- The Outer Diameter of the Standard Melodrip Lift is 105mm
- The Outer Diameter of the V3 Variant Melodrip Lift is 95mm
Melodrip Lift Background and Inspiration:
The Melodrip pouring diffuser has rapidly become a staple in the third wave coffee brewing kit. Double USBRC Champion, Elika Liftee has developed a pouring routine that uses the Melodrip in a unique way, and enlisted me to design and produce a durable and reliable solution that would allow him to effortlessly use his mixed diffused and direct pouring routine in competition. This year, Elika used this ring along with his custom dripper set and innovative brewing routine to claim the championship award for the US Brewer's Cup. He and I are honored to share this device and method with other coffee enthusiasts and competitors to elevate the bar of coffee making.

Fitment:
This device and pouring method can be used on the Kalita Wave, Origami S/M, MK, V60, Stagg X/XF, Cafec, and other similarly-sized drippers. The new OREA V3 variant is intended to fit the Large (185) version of the dripper and will not fit properly on the Small V3.
Product Information:
This device is 3D-printed from Carbon Fiber-infused PETG material. This material is BPA-free, non-soluble in water, and has a melting temperature of more than 230ºC. The Original Melodrip Lift is competition-proven for high performance coffee-brewing applications. For reference, typical mass-produced water bottles are made from the same base material.
