The Ceramic UFO Dripper makes coffee that's out of this world. Wataru Iidaka brewed with the UFO in his incredible runner-up performance at the 2024 World Brewers Cup in Chicago. Its unique geometry, air channel technology, and thermal stability give you the complexity and pleasant acidity you love from a conical brewer, with the consistency you'd expect from a flat bottom. The UFO is designed to be the most forgiving conical brewer out there, so you can spend less time chasing variables and more time enjoying great cups.
This dripper fits papers designed for UFO 80º angels - You can fold the V60 style paper (see video above and our blog post) or You can get the Sibarist UFO Filter Paper here! and UFO Type A Filter paper here!

Features:
- 80° wide angle: The UFO uses an unprecedented 80° interior wall angle. This wide, shallow shape slows the brew down, giving you a full contact time and plenty of extraction even with smaller doses. Because the bed depth barely shifts as your dose changes, you get consistent results whether you dial your dose up or down. The wide angle also increases the coffee's contact with the filter and lets fines gather above the bed, so every cup comes out cleaner and clearer.
- Air channel technology: The UFO swaps traditional protruding ribs for air channels. They keep the filter from clinging to the walls, which keeps airflow steady and pressure balanced throughout the brew. You get stable water flow, no stalling or shaking, and consistent extraction that holds up against outside variables. Pair the UFO with the Disputer tool to get a perfect filter set and consistent bypass every time.
- Crafted in South Korea: A South Korean artisan factory that has specialized exclusively in ceramics for over 40 years crafts each UFO from Korean clay.
