DragonFly Hybrid Brewing Collection

A knob-controlled base for the DragonFly CT62 Transit Pro Dripper, letting it hold water for immersion or release it for drawdown

The Conical Dripper Transit Base from DragonFly Design Center is a knob-controlled base built for the DragonFly CT62 Transit Pro Dripper, available with a Black, White, Pink, or Purple knob. Turn the knob closed and the conical dripper becomes a full immersion brewer, holding the slurry for as long as your recipe calls for. Open it and the brew drains through the filter as a standard percolation pour over.

Setting the knob partway lets you meter the flow rate, so you can slow the drawdown without changing your grind size.

How the Transit Base Controls Flow

With the knob turned closed, water stays in contact with the grounds and extraction runs as immersion. Contact time is set by you, not by grind size and filter resistance. Turn the knob open and drawdown begins, finishing the brew as percolation, with water moving through the bed and the paper filter holding back fines and oils.

This makes hybrid recipes possible in a single brewer: a closed bloom for even saturation and degassing, an immersion phase to build body and extraction, then an open percolation finish for clarity. You can adjust the timing and balance of each phase on the fly, with no change to the dripper, filter, or grind.

The base comes apart in two sections joined by a magnetic connection, so it separates cleanly for rinsing and snaps back together for the next brew. Three feet keep it level on the server.

Brewing with the Transit Base

Set the CT62 Transit Pro Dripper on the base, place it over your server, and choose your starting configuration. With the knob closed, you control contact time directly. A closed bloom saturates the whole bed before any liquid drains, which reduces dry pockets and channeling and sets a foundation for even extraction.

With the knob open, the dripper behaves like a conventional conical pour over, and pour rate, pulse timing, and agitation drive the extraction.

The CT62 Transit Pro Dripper takes Size 02 conical paper filters.

The Knob and Base Construction

•     Knob control: A single knob opens and closes the flow path, moving between immersion and percolation mid-brew, with partial settings to adjust flow rate.

•     Magnetic two-part base: The upper and lower sections join magnetically and detach for assembly and cleaning.

•     Three-foot stand: A compact, three-foot footprint keeps the dripper stable over the server.

A 62° conical dripper sized for 1 to 4 servings, with an internal groove structure that keeps the drawdown steady at larger doses

The CT62 Dripper 02 (390ml) from DragonFly Design Center is a new bone china conical dripper made for a larger, 1-4 cup brew. It carries the 62° angle, internal grooves, and exterior texture of the original CT62, with a taller body that raises capacity from 1 to 2 servings to 1 to 4. It is available in Black and White.

How the CT62 Manages Flow

The cone is set at 62°, a proprietary angle DragonFly developed to give a broad, stable extraction range. It responds well to a centered pour or a wider circular spiral pour, so you can adjust your technique without the brew losing balance.

Inside, 24 grooves guide water down the wall. Instead of the raised ribs found in many conical drippers, the CT62 uses recessed channels, with an added ring of horizontal grooves near the base to regulate flow through the lower part of the cone.

DragonFly refined this channel design through repeated testing. The goal is a drawdown that holds a consistent pace from start to finish, which helps reduce clogging and the bitterness, astringency, and sourness that come with uneven extraction.

Compatible with the DragonFly Design Center Conical Dripper Transit Base

Set the DragonFly Design Center CT62 Transit Pro Dripper 02 (390ml) and you have instantly transformed it to a hybrid brewer with variable flow rate.

Brewing with the CT62 02

The dripper sits over a cup or server for standard pour over brewing. At 390ml, it handles 1 to 4 servings, so the same brewer works for a single morning cup or a shared pot. It takes 1-4 cup paper filters.

Its base has an integrated raised ring that seats into the DragonFly Conical Dripper Transit Base. It also pairs with the DragonFly Conical Dripper Holder and Silicone Ring for a more secure, stable setup on the brew table.

The new bone china body is heat resistant to 120°C (248°F) and safe for dishwashers, microwave ovens, and dish dryers.

The 62° Cone and Groove Structure

•     62° conical geometry: A proprietary angle that gives a wide working range and room to vary pour style.

•     24 recessed channels: Guide water downward along the wall in place of raised ribs, for a steadier drawdown.

•     Horizontal groove ring: Sits near the base and regulates flow through the lower cone as the bed settles.

The Shanwen Armor Exterior

The CT in the DragonFly CT62 refers to its exterior texture, based on Shanwen armor (Shanwen Jia) from China's Tang Dynasty. The 62 refers to the interior cone angle.

The Shanwen design is an original concept from medieval China that takes a flat pattern and builds it directly into a three-dimensional form. DragonFly Design Center brought that approach to the dripper as a contemporary geometric exterior: curved surfaces and facets cover the full body, and the geometry repeats across it, giving the surface depth and perspective from any angle.

The built-in stand follows the same Shanwen Jia pattern, with one corner extended to form the handle, so the dripper and stand carry one visual language.
