Our Brand Story

THE GABI

Made in Korea

Made in Korea

The GABI Master Series was born from the passion and expertise of Dr. Sangwoon Nam, a craftsman who laid the foundation of Korea’s coffee culture and continues to bridge generations.

With over a decade of relentless research and data on coffee extraction, these specialty drip coffee tools were designed to deliver consistent and reliable flavor and aroma—accessible to all.
Each product reflects Dr. Nam’s philosophy: great coffee should be reproducible with ease and precision.

Carrying forward this belief, we continue to develop THE GABI as a brand that bridges tradition and innovation.
The Master Series introduces an entirely new approach to extraction, challenging conventional methods. It has been validated by coffee professionals both domestically and internationally, earning high praise for its creativity and exceptional quality.

THE GABI is proudly made in Korea and stands as a distinctive alternative to conventional brewing tools.

Today, it is positioned as a global coffee brand, with exports expanding to over 20 countries across six key regions, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, and Oceania.
