UFO Dripper

Introducing the UFO Dripper — Type F 01 Filters for 01 size UFO Brewer

Built for brewers who want speed without compromise.

The Type F 01 filter is designed for UFO V3 01 or UFO Ceramic Dripper to flow fast while maintaining balance and control, giving you the freedom to push extraction without sacrificing clarity or structure in the cup.

Produced with 100% FDA-approved lyocell and PLA, Type F filters are engineered as a true fast-flow option within the UFO ecosystem. The material composition creates a strong yet open filter structure that supports quick drawdown while staying stable throughout the brew.

What sets Type F 01 apart is how it handles water movement. The faster flow allows you to:

• Brew efficiently without choking
  

• Explore finer grind sizes with confidence
  

• Maintain sweetness and balance, even at higher extractions
  
  

The result is a cup that feels clean, controlled, and expressive; highlighting origin character while keeping the mouthfeel intact.

Comptable with:
UFO V3 01, UFO Ceramic, UFO V2

The UFO Dripper V3 01 from UFO Coffee Tools is the size 01 version of the V3, built around the same 80 degree interior angle and negative channel structure as the larger model, sized for doses in the 1-2 cup range. It brews on its own as a percolation dripper, and it sits directly onto a Hario Switch base when you want to hold the water instead.

The Story Behind It

The V3 line is built on one decision: open the cone from the 60 degree angle most conical brewers use out to 80 degrees. A wider wall means a shallower bed, and a shallower bed means the depth of the coffee barely moves when the dose does. That is what makes a conical repeatable in the way a flat bottom usually is, without giving up the clarity and acidity people brew conicals for in the first place.

Inside the cone, the wall carries negative channels instead of protruding ribs. The paper seats against a smooth surface rather than clinging to a rib, so airflow stays even and pressure equalizes above and below the brewer. In the 01, that structure sits around a smaller chamber, which is the whole point of this size: the geometry that keeps drawdown stable, on a size that suits the amount of coffee you are actually brewing.

Tritan, and Why the Material Matters Here

The body is Tritan, a food safe copolyeste. It is BPA free, it resists warping at boiling temperatures, and it conducts heat far less readily than metal or glass, so the slurry holds its temperature more steadily through the pour. On a smaller dose, where thermal loss shows up faster, that stability does more work than it does at volume.

Geometry That Guides Extraction

The 80 degree interior angle promotes steady drawdown while keeping the bed evenly saturated. It supports efficient flow through the coffee, reduces channeling, and minimizes stall. Nothing here restricts flow mechanically or forces it: the structure itself regulates how water moves.

The same geometry widens the useful grind range. Extraction stays controlled and predictable, so a change in grind size or pour translates clearly into the cup. Profiles stay expressive and structured.

Negative Channels and Flow Stability

The negative channel design supports balanced airflow during drawdown, preventing vacuum lock and reducing turbulence. By stabilizing the brew bed and evening out water distribution, it holds clarity and a controlled flow. Drawdown is faster and consistent, and balance stays intact.

A Chamber Sized for Smaller Doses

The smaller brew chamber of the UFO V3 01 favors smaller brews and the precision that comes with them. It takes doses of roughly 12 to 18 grams on a bed surface that will feel familiar if you have brewed a size 01 conical before. There is still room to move between lighter, clarity focused brews and fuller extractions without destabilizing the bed.

The Silicone Base

The base of the UFO V3 01 is silicone rather than rigid plastic, so it has some give and sits softly on a server or cup. It detaches easily, which is what makes the hybrid setup below possible.

Percolation or Immersion, From One Brewer

On its own, it works as a percolation dripper with stable flow. Take the silicone base off and seat the cone on a Hario Switch base, and it becomes a hybrid immersion brewer. In that configuration you can extend contact time, hold water before releasing it, and deliberately push extraction deeper. The geometry that keeps percolation clean also keeps the immersion drawdown controlled once the valve opens.

One brewer, two distinct extraction approaches, without adding complexity to the workflow.

Filter and Base Compatibility

The 01 takes UFO Type A 01 filters, Type F 01 filters, and the Sibarist FAST UFO Special Edition in size 01. It seats on a Hario Switch base for immersion brewing, and on the included silicone base for standard percolation. 

Most drippers manage heat from the outside in. The UFO Ceramic Dripper approaches it differently, pulling warmth upward from the server below and concentrating it where the coffee needs it most. The result is a more stable brew bed temperature from start to finish, without adding complexity to your pour.

The UFO is designed to sit directly on your server. That contact point is intentional: hot air rising from the output coffee inside the server circulates upward into the thickest, most thermally active section of the dripper wall, supplementing the heat the ceramic itself retains. It is a passive system, and it works precisely because of where the dripper sits, not despite it.

The Design Rationale

Variable wall thickness is the core of what makes the UFO work. The uppermost wall is 23.7% thinner than the lowermost wall. This reduction removes thermal mass from the top of the dripper, where it would have little useful effect, and concentrates it at the base, closest to the heat source below. Thicker walls at the bottom retain more heat. Thinner walls at the top stay out of the way.

Conventional drippers that use protruding rib designs rely on separation between the dripper base and the server, typically via base risers, to maintain airflow. That separation, while necessary for airflow, also cuts off the dripper from any heat the server provides. The UFO resolves this with internal air channels that deliver consistent airflow from behind the filter without requiring the dripper to be lifted away from the server. Airlock and stalling are not concerns.

Product Details

The Setup

The UFO Ceramic Dripper sits directly on your server, carafe, or cup without a separate holder. This is a deliberate design choice, not an omission. Removing the base keeps the dripper in direct thermal contact with the vessel below, enabling the upward heat circulation the design depends on. A holder would interrupt that connection.

Compatible Filters

The UFO Ceramic Dripper is compatible with the following filters:

•       UFO Type A Filter (available separately)

•       Sibarist UFO Special Edition Fast Cone (available separately)

•       Sibarist UFO B3 Flat (available separately)

Trying different filters is the best way to explore what this dripper can do. Each one changes the flow dynamic in a way that is worth experiencing.

The UFO Dripper  V3 is a standalone dripper that can be adapted to the "Hario Switch" brewing system.

Geometry That Guides Extraction

At the core of the V3 is an 80° interior angle designed to promote steady drawdown while maintaining even bed saturation. This angle supports efficient flow through the coffee bed, helping reduce channeling and minimizing stall. Rather than relying on aggressive flow restriction or mechanical intervention, the structure itself regulates movement and extraction.

This geometry also improves performance across a wider grind spectrum - extraction remains controlled and predictable, allowing grind size and pour adjustments to translate clearly into the cup.

Profiles remain expressive yet structured.

Negative Channels and Flow Stability

The negative channel design supports balanced airflow during drawdown, preventing vacuum lock and reducing turbulence. By stabilizing the brew bed and minimizing uneven water distribution, the V3 maintains clarity and a controlled flow.

The result is faster, consistent drawdown without sacrificing balance.

Expanded Capacity for Recipe Flexibility

The larger brew chamber increases practical flexibility. It accommodates higher doses and a broader range of brew ratios while offering greater tolerance for controlled agitation. This enables movement between lighter, clarity-focused brews and fuller extractions without destabilizing the bed.

Designed for Hybrid Brewing

The V3 functions as a standalone percolation dripper with stable flow characteristics. It is equally engineered for adaptation. When paired with the Hario Switch base, it becomes a hybrid immersion system.

In this configuration, you can extend contact time, hold water before release, and intentionally increase extraction depth. The same geometry that supports clean percolation also ensures controlled immersion drawdown once the valve is opened.

One brewer with two distinct extraction approaches. The 80 degree UFO Dripper V3 delivers structural clarity, adaptable workflow, and repeatable results without unnecessary complexity.

UFO Variable Wall Thickness Technology, and the reason behind the decision to not include base (holder).

Ceramic UFO is an attempt at stabilizing coffee slurry temperature throughout brewing. Via reducing unnecessary thermal mass from the upper levels of the dripper construction and positioning the dripper as close as possible to the heat retained within the carafe by removing the base, the ceramic UFO is able to create a brewing process that draws from a more stable incubated heat from below the brewer throughout the brewing process. 

Ceramic UFO’s uppermost wall thickness is 23.7% thinner than the lowermost wall thickness, removing unnecessary thermal mass.

Ceramic UFO is designed to sit directly on the server, which allows the hot heat from the output coffee inside the server to circulate upwards, constantly providing an additional source of heat towards the thickest part of the dripper for better thermal stability.

This would be an issue in traditional protruding-rib designs where airflow is heavily dependent on the separation of the dripper base and server via base risers, but with UFO’s air channels that provide constant and consistent air flow from behind the filter, fear of clogging (stalling) via air-lock is fully out of question.
