NELCCO Nel drip coffee brewer by Fuji Royal. The most important parts of NELCCO are the nozzles. Thirteen tiny nozzles are precisely designed and made by the craftsmen of Tsubame-Sanjo, and this allows anyone to brew it just like the professionals. Hot water poured into the dripper gradually goes through the holes, which allows an ideal length of time to brew coffee. NELCCO makes it possible to recreate the quality of coffee brewed by professionals at home.
