Notes & Adjustments

Official UFO recipe designed for Sibarist FAST filters. The 80° angle and air channels create zero-bypass extraction. First 3 pours extract flavor, final fast pour creates balance and controls fines. Grind finer than V60 for dense washed coffees.

Finish
Target total brew time is 02:30-03:00.

Notes & Adjustments

Type A filters provide medium flow rate - NOT fast-flowing.

For heavily processed coffees:

Such as anaerobic naturals, yeast-inoculated naturals, co-fermented coffees, and unlike washed coffees. Grind coarser to reduce the surface area of the coffees to prevent over-extraction.

Pair with the Melodrip:

Enjoy Type A with Melodrip. Melodrip does not disturb the coffee bed as much as a regular water flow out of a gooseneck kettle spout, and therefore reduces fines migration. This makes for a very fast drawdown, but grinding super fine to compensate for fast flow rate does not result in a tasty cup.

Origami Dripper

Healthy-Two Single Pour

No-bloom, low-temp recipe for juicy coffees

Ratio

Brewing Timeline

Prep
Prepare soft water and Origami
Use very soft water. The source uses roughly 2:1 distilled water to Perfect Coffee Water, then preps the Origami dripper.
0:00
Start single pour
No bloom. Pour gently in spirals, as close to the coffee bed as possible without hitting the kettle on the dripper.
365g
Stop pour
Continue the same gentle spiral pour until the scale reaches 365g total water.
Finish
Drawdown
Let drain fully. The post did not specify a target drawdown time.

Notes & Adjustments

Built for coffees described as juicy, including Prodigal and Corvus coffees. The author says multiple-pour recipes have not worked as well for them; this no-bloom single pour gives daily juicy cups.

Cup target:

The author reports white grape and melon notes across many coffees with this approach.

Dial-in note:

Water composition is approximate because the source does not measure the mineral-water mix precisely.

Cafec Deep 27 - Osmotic Flow

Pour ~30g evenly over the bed. Wait 30s.

Center pour
Pour in a small circle at the center. Keep kettle close to minimize agitation. Pour gently and steadily.
Ongoing
Maintain osmotic flow
Keep pour rate so water in ≈ water out. Balanced pressure, even deep coffee bed. Continue to 150ml.

Finish
Drawdown complete. Remove dripper.

Notes & Adjustments

No stirring, no swirling — CEO Nakatsuka stresses avoiding all agitation. The 27° angle naturally creates a thick filtration layer for even extraction. Gooseneck kettle essential.

Clean cup with great aftertaste and body. Key timing cue is visual — watch the drip stream rather than a timer for pours 2 and 3. Coarse grind like granulated sugar. Good for light to medium roasts.

Notes & Adjustments

High agitation for bigger body — goes against Cafec’s official no-stir advice. Can be muddy if overdone. The aggressive stirring compensates for the Deep 27’s fast flow rate.

Notes & Adjustments

Designed to maximize clarity, sweetness, and aroma in light roasts. The recipe intentionally combines very coarse grind, high temperature, long extraction, and repeated small pours.

Dripper:

Tetsu lists HARIO V60 NEW and notes compatibility with Neo-style ribs for even extraction with small water amounts.

Filter note from Reddit tester:

One commenter found regular Hario V60 filters worked better than faster Abaca filters, producing more sweetness and less underextraction.

Coffee educator's refined technique for consistency

Recipe Basics

30g, medium-fine grind
Coffee
500ml at 97°C
Water
1:16.7
Ratio

Brewing Timeline

0:00
Bloom
Create a well in coffee bed, pre-wet with 60g water.
0:10
Swirl
Gently swirl in a circular motion until slurry is even, then rest for 45s.
0:45
Main pour part 1
Pour to 300g over 30 seconds (60% of total water)
1:15
Main pour part 2
At 300g, start to pour a little slower and more gently, keeping your V60 cone topped up. Aim to have 100% of your brew weight in within the next 30 seconds.
1:45
Stir with spoon
With a spoon give the V60 a small stir in one direction, and then again in the other direction. This will release any grounds stuck to the side of the paper.
2:00
Swirl
Give it one final swirl after water has drained low enough for a safe swirl.

Notes & Adjustments

James Hoffmann's refined approach emphasizes consistency and forgiveness. The well in the coffee bed ensures even wetting, while the 60/40 pour split provides excellent extraction balance.

Key Technique Points:

Making a well ensures even saturation during bloom. The 60% pour targets flavor extraction, 40% pour controls strength. Final stir prevents channeling and ensures even extraction.

Equipment Notes:

Hoffmann recommends plastic V60 for heat retention. Use high-quality burr grinder and pleasant-tasting soft water. Pouring kettle essential for control.

Troubleshooting:

If too slow: grind coarser. If too fast/weak: grind finer. If sour: increase temperature or grind finer. If bitter: decrease temperature or grind coarser.
