UFO Drip Bags 101: How to Brew Café-Quality Coffee With No Equipment

A UFO Drip Bag is the closest thing to café-quality pour-over you can make with zero gear. No grinder, no V60, no scale — just hot water and a couple of minutes.

What You Need

A UFO Drip Bag, a mug, and hot water. That's the entire equipment list.

Step by Step

1. Tear open the pouch and unfold the drip bag's paper wings.

2. Hang the wings over the rim of your mug so the bag sits suspended inside.

3. Pour a small splash of hot water (just off the boil) over the grounds and let it bloom for 20–30 seconds.

4. Slowly pour the rest of the water over the grounds in a couple of passes, filling your mug.

5. Once the dripping slows, lift out the bag and enjoy.
