About Here There

HERE THERE is a small wooden coffee tools brand based in Paju, South Korea.
It is operated by Ool Literary and run by Minwoo Choi.

I design, produce, and finish small-batch wooden coffee accessories in my workshop — from grinder lids and tool holders to trays and brewing stations.

I started making furniture properly in 2022, learning traditional joinery from scratch at a woodworking workshop. Before that, there were years of casual DIY — enough to know I was doing it wrong.

The coffee accessories came out of that.
Things I wanted for my own bench that didn’t exist in wood, so I made them.

At home, it’s the Decent espresso machine.
At the workshop, pour-over, the xBloom Studio, and until recently, the La Marzocco Linea Mini.

The gear changes.
The habit doesn’t.

Most of what I make sits between the grinder and the cup.
Lids, holders, trays, brewing stations.
Things that live on your bench every day.

I work with hardwoods — walnut, white oak, maple, and cherry — chosen for how they behave over time, not just how they photograph.

Some items are available in small quantities and can be dispatched sooner.

Items requiring production or finishing usually take 7–14 business days before shipment.

There is no production line here.
Just wood, coffee, and a fairly particular bench.

If you have a specific request, feel free to get in touch.
