- 11 WBrC 2024 byWataru Iidaka Wataru Iidaka's second-place routine from the 2024 World Brewers Cup in Chicago. Three pours over a layered dose of three Panama Geishas, a Sibarist B3 UFO paper, and a temperature drop on the final pour for balance. UFO Dripper Ratio 1:16
- 12 Fermented byPack Katisomaskul Pack Katisomaskul's two-kettle variant for high-impact processed coffees — naturals, anaerobics, thermal-shocks. Same three-pour skeleton as his standard, but the finisher drops to 82°C to keep the cup balanced when the bean is already flavor-loud. UFO Dripper Ratio 1:16
- 13 Three Pours byPack Katisomaskul Pack Katisomaskul's three-pour routine from his third-place USBrC 2024 run. Skips the small-pulse approach: two slow openers followed by a finisher delivered very high and hard from the kettle to control fines through bypass. UFO Dripper Ratio 1:16
- 14 Switch High byUFO Coffee Tools UFO V2 mounted on a Hario Switch base for a hybrid immersion-then-percolation brew. Two minutes of vigorous-spoon immersion pulls flavor, then the switch opens to drain, and two more pours finish the cup. Pushes extraction higher than straight pour-over. UFO Dripper Ratio 1:16.7
- 15 Switch Mild byUFO Coffee Tools Milder sibling of the Switch High hybrid. Same immersion opener, but the second phase is a single 100g pour split into circle plus center — total contact time and agitation drop, the cup comes out gentler. UFO Dripper Ratio 1:16.7
