UFO V2

Equipment notes

UFO is a dripper brand designed by 3D-printing designer Kenzie Chay and barista Jay Kim and produced in Korea. To keep the cup profile of a cone while sharply improving consistency, they built the brewer around an unusually wide 80-degree wall and recessed air channels; the V2 is the standard model of the lineup, refining the 3D-printed prototype into injection-molded form. The wide wall spreads the coffee into a shallow, flat bed, so small changes in dose or pouring barely move the bed depth, while air channels carved into the wall keep an air path open behind the paper and prevent vacuum stalling. Molded in one piece from food-grade Tritan, it is light and easy to clean, an unfussy choice for daily brewing. Cone filters do not fit; it takes flat papers only, such as Sibarist FAST/B3, and with fast papers you can grind finer than a V60 to chase sweetness and clarity at once. Billed as the most forgiving conical brewer, it is a dripper for brewers who love the taste of a cone but are tired of inconsistent results.
