Set up, step by step.
Do this once before your first brew. When you're ready, the matching brew guide takes over with a live, guided timer.
- Boil the kettle Boil a little extra water so you can rinse the filter and warm the brewer.
- Weigh 15g of coffee and grind it Use a coarse grind as your starting point with Type A paper.
- Place your server on the scale Choose a server that comfortably holds the full brew.
- Place the UFO on your server Check that the dripper sits level and secure.
- Open and place the Type A filter Use the Type A size made for your UFO model and settle it evenly against the wide cone.
- Rinse the filter and warm the brewer Wet the paper gently so it keeps its shape.
- Discard the rinse water Keep the dripper steady as you empty the server, then return it to the scale.
- Add the coffee and level the bed Gently shake the dripper until the shallow coffee bed sits flat.
- Turn on the scale and tare it to 0g Make sure your scale is set to grams before you begin.
- You’re all set! Press "Done" to start. Aim to finish between 2:30 and 3:30. If it drains sooner, grind a little finer next time. At 3:30, remove it and grind a little coarser next time if it is still dripping.
Ready for the first brew?
Filtru's guided timer tells you what to do and when. Connect a Bluetooth scale and it records weight and flow as you pour, so even your first brew is one you can learn from.
