Switch Mild

UFO Dripper Misc pourover by UFO Coffee Tools

UFO Coffee Tools' milder V2 hybrid recipe opens with immersion, then replaces the more intensive finish with one combined 100g circle-and-center pour. Reduced contact and agitation produce a gentler, softer cup.

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.

Sibarist UFO Special Edition (FAST)

The FAST-flow Sibarist UFO paper drains the single gentle pour cleanly after immersion, keeping this milder hybrid crisp rather than muddy.

Notes

Pair the UFO V2 and Hario Switch with a Sibarist FAST UFO paper, and grind around 900um to 950um. Keep the combined finishing pour calm; if the cup lacks definition, tighten the grind before adding another pulse.
