The blokes at UFO Dripper aimed at creating the cup profiles they love from conical brewers. They have found that the 80º interior angle of this brewer design slows down the brew to maintain a respectable contact time even with the air channels, and means that it's less sensitive to smaller doses. This is because the shallower the brewer walls, the less the bed depth changes with varying doses. The angle also contributes to greater accumulation of fines above the bed, further increasing clarity.
UFO incorporates air channels instead of protruding ribs, which provide consistent bypass. The air channels also contribute to equalizing the air pressure above and below the carafe, lowering any risk of stalling.
The UFO V2 is injection-molded from Tritan. This maintains superior thermal stability in the brew bed, while also being extremely resistant to warping at boiling temperatures.
There is a template in the box to fold v60 papers to fit this dripper, or the matching UFO paper filters are available here
