While those classic devices offer an exciting amount of flavour complexity, they also require an exacting degree of precision. Jay, an acclaimed brewer and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/newest-coffee-beans\" title=\"Buy our freshest beans\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecoffee\u003c\/a\u003e educator based in Korea, is well-known for his unfiltered approaches to brewing and hospitality with compassion and consideration. Looking to develop a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/accessories\" title=\"Get general coffee accessories\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etool\u003c\/a\u003e that offers enthusiasts what they love about conical drippers, but with more repeatable results, Jay tapped his close friend and talented industrial designer, Kenzie Chay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, the two created the out-of-this-world UFO Dripper. In 2024, after months of rigorously testing prototypes, the UFO made its breakout debut at the World Brewers Cup (WBrC) in Chicago. Japanese competitor Wataru Iidaka used the UFO to brew his way to second place, instantly putting the UFO on the specialty coffee map. Recently, the UFO climbed even higher, earning Malaysian barista Nas Jaafar the coveted title of 2026 World Brewers Cup Champion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the UFO Dripper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UFO Coffee Tools V3 Pour-Over Dripper is crafted from high-grade, single-walled Tritan plastic to offer brewers exceptional thermal stability and rugged durability. It features an innovative 80-degree wall angle designed to offer clarity in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/cups-mugs-glasses\" title=\"Explore our serve ware\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecup\u003c\/a\u003e alongside consistency across brews. When compared to traditional 60-degree angle brewers, the UFO's wide, flattened geometry optimises the contact time between coffee and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/water-related-items\" title=\"Build your water profile\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewater\u003c\/a\u003e, allowing for optimal extraction rates even across different doses. This shape promotes an even drawdown without stalled flows. Brewers can confidently adjust coffee doses without needing to tweak other brewing variables thanks to the UFO's shallow walls and more uniform bed depth. This means that unlike other drippers, increasing your coffee dose won't affect the central coffee column's height as much, or create more water resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UFO responds well to both \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/all-coffees\/Light-roast\" title=\"Get light roast coffee beans\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elight\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/all-coffees\/Medium-dark-roast\" title=\"Buy medium to dark roast coffee beans\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003edark\u003c\/a\u003e roasted coffees, but perhaps more importantly, its wide surface area remains forgiving despite unexpected changes to your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/kettles\" title=\"Fine-tune your pouring with a coffee kettle\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003epour\u003c\/a\u003e rates or accidental shifts during a brew.

This results in fewer clogs, more consistent drawdowns, and a smooth cup, even if your pour is imperfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UFO V3 also includes a detachable silicone base that fits comfortably over most carafes or servers. When detached from this base, the inner cone is built to sit directly onto a Hario \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/hario\/products\/hario-mugen-switch-immersion-coffee-dripper\" title=\"Buy the Hario Mugen with Switch base\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSwitch\u003c\/a\u003e base.
