Know before you buy
A manufacturer second is an item that did not meet the brand's strict aesthetic standards during quality control, often due to minor cosmetic imperfections. Functionally, the brewer performs exactly as intended, though it may have visual flaws that distinguish it from a retail-perfect unit.
The BIRD utilizes a non-bypass design, meaning all the water poured through the device is forced directly through the coffee grounds and the filter. This typically results in a more concentrated, flavor-dense cup compared to traditional brewers that allow water to flow around the coffee bed.
The brass components are prone to natural oxidation and water staining, which is common with this material. While the brewer has been thoroughly cleaned, you can maintain the finish with a gentle brass polish if you prefer a brighter look, or simply let it develop a unique patina over time.
The BIRD is designed specifically for use with proprietary paper filters that fit its unique geometry. You should ensure you have a supply of these specific filters on hand to achieve the intended flow rate and extraction profile.
Borosilicate glass is known for its high thermal shock resistance and durability, making it an excellent choice for coffee brewing. While it is robust, it should still be handled with the same care you would give any high-quality glass kitchenware to avoid chips or cracks.
