UFO Dripper Misc pourover by Nas Jaafar

Nas Jaafar's winning routine from the 2026 World Brewers Cup in Brussels — the first title for Malaysia. A two-stage "resistance and flow" brew on a UFO V3 over a Hario Switch base: an open percolation pour for clarity, then a closed immersion pour for sweetness and body.

You'll need

Hario Switch (immersion base) Required

The Hario Switch's valved base, used underneath other drippers (Hario V60 NEO, Sibarist UFO) to add stop-and-go immersion. Here it is required as an add-on base, not as the standalone brewer.

Recommended Hario Switch
WDT tool Optional

A cluster of fine needles used to stir and de-clump the coffee bed (Weiss Distribution Technique) for even saturation.

Notes

Coffee: Panama Geisha from Finca Nuguo, grown at 1,700 masl and anaerobic-natural fermented. Roasted three days out on a hot-air roaster (6:45) to stay expressive and easy to extract. Grind on the coarser side of medium (~700 µm) at a slow ~580 RPM to cut fines and even the flow. Setup: UFO V3 on a Hario Switch base (80° wall), pulp-and-lyocell paper, bed levelled with a Storm WDT. Water: 50 ppm with balanced magnesium and calcium. Two stages: the open percolation pour builds red-floral clarity and citric acidity; the closed immersion pour develops sugarcane sweetness, apricot, and a rounder body.
