Palatti is a coffee instrument brand crafted to extend and enrich mindful coffee experiences. It's created and operated by Sense Now Limited.

Palatti embody a philosophy that life, like coffee, is not just a linear path to a final destination, but a rich tapestry of experiences to be savoured. Our brand name, "Palatti", a fusion of "Palette" and "Palate", encapsulates our mission to extend and enrich mindful coffee experiences.

We are living in an era where AI has passed the Turing test, a time that calls for humanity to reexamine the fundamental question: "Why are we human?" We believe that the value of an individual extends beyond the pursuit of technology and efficiency. It lies in the quest for profound feelings and experiences, in the true development of discovering the deeper meanings within ourselves.

As René Girard theorized, many of society's conflicts and issues may stem from blindly imitating the desires of others rather than seeking our own true needs and meanings. In the age of AI, this tendency for imitation may become more pronounced, yet it also presents us with an opportunity to reshape our values and ways of living.

This is why we at Palatti believe in the critical importance of building a mindful world. A mindful lifestyle encourages us to be more present, to understand ourselves more deeply, and to connect with the world around us. This is not just an evolution on a personal level but a key to transforming humanity into a more harmonious and empathetic society as a whole.

In our journey towards crafting a mindful world, the companions who walk alongside us are indispensable. They are the artisans from Dehua, whose mastery in porcelain transcends mere craft into art, imbuing each Palatti dripper with a soul of its own. Their hands shape more than just material; they mold experiences, blend traditions with innovation, and bring our vision of mindfulness into tangible existence.

Equally vital are our team members, a diverse collective of visionaries, creators, and thinkers. From product designers who sketch the blueprints of functionality and beauty, to R&D experts who push the boundaries of what's technically possible, each individual's unique perspective and expertise contribute to the Palatti ethos.
