The UFO Special editions are the filters that perform the maximum potential, yield and fitting of the UFO dripper. The filters ensure the no bypass but let extraction be driven through the UFO original air channels design, achieving an special and stunning cup profile.
The UFO dripper is a Jay and Kenzie development, they based all the R&D to create the UFO around the Sibarist filters due the performs consistently every single time. The UFO special edition goal is to share the utmost consistent brewing experience with the brewing community.
Jay voice “We wanted to create a conical dripper that can not only capture clarity and complexity, which are characteristics of a traditional 60-degree wall angle conical dripper but also sweetness and even extraction of a flat bottom dripper, leading to cups with incredible clarity and intensity. Once we achieved that through UFO’s unique 80-degree wall angle, our next mission was to solve the consistency issue of a conical dripper. That’s when we designed our UFO air channels alongside UFO blocks that the filters sit on with enough surface tension to not collapse into the air channels. The result is something truly special, a cup profile that has never existed before. One that combines the best of the flat bottom and the conical geometry. We cannot wait for you all to experience it soon.”
There are two filter paper technologies available for the UFO dripper, find the Jay’s comments:
- The B3 Specialty Coffee Filters (The filter is delivered unfolded, se HOW TO USE below)
“B3 flows slower than FAST. We enjoy B3 for fast flowing process impact-heavy (natural/anaerobic natural/carbonic maceration/co-ferment/yeast-inoculated, etc) coffees that require coarser grind sizes and a slower flow rate to provide sufficient contact time to extract all the good things while avoiding over extraction of the mega funky flavours that can often be overwhelming. This can also apply in roast levels. The more developed the roast, the more we will lean towards the B3 and grind even coarser.”
Using Sibarist Flat Papers
UFO was designed for use with Sibarist Fast flat and B3 papers, although this template can be used to fold any flat filter. Simply fold once in half, then fold to match the angle below (feel free to take a screenshot and print this diagram).
