- 12 Fermented byPack Katisomaskul Pack Katisomaskul's two-kettle variant for high-impact processed coffees — naturals, anaerobics, thermal-shocks.

- 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.

- 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
