Type A

UFO Dripper Misc pourover by UFO Coffee Tools

UFO Coffee Tools' official Type A baseline matches four equal 50g circle pours to the paper's slower drawdown. Low, calm delivery limits agitation and aims for an orderly extraction with a clean, composed cup.

UFO Coffee Tools Type A

UFO's own Type A is a medium-flow paper, slower-draining than the faster Sibarist — the base recipe grinds coarser to suit its calmer drawdown.

Notes

Grind toward the coarse end of medium to offset the Type A paper's moderate flow. Deliver every 50g pulse in low circles and avoid a forceful finisher; the first pulse should drain in roughly 40s, signaling that the paper is not choking.
