UFO Dripper Misc pourover
WBrC 2026 Champion
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 (OREA Z1, 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.
