How it brews
One of two papers UFO cuts for its proprietary 80° cone — a wider cone than a V60, so the Type A lives on the UFO seat and does not interchange with standard V60 papers. UFO positions it as the medium-flow option of its pair: the maker states Type A drains at a middle pace, with the faster Type F sitting above it, so choosing between the two is UFO's built-in flow lever. A medium paper tends to sit in the middle of the clarity-versus-body trade, holding water in contact a touch longer than the fast option without becoming the bottleneck. It's single-use and takes the usual pre-brew rinse to seat against the 80° cone.
