Know before you buy
The BIRD uses a piston-driven vacuum system to create a no-bypass brew, meaning all water is forced through the coffee grounds rather than flowing around them. This results in a significantly higher extraction yield and a more concentrated, complex flavor profile compared to traditional gravity-fed methods.
Yes, but you may need to adjust your settings. Because the vacuum mechanism allows for finer grinds than typical pour-over methods, you can experiment with finer particle sizes to achieve a richer cup without the bitterness often associated with over-extraction.
Yes, The BIRD is a completely manual brewer that requires no electricity. You have full control over the extraction process, allowing you to tailor the strength and flavor profile of your coffee to your specific preferences.
The BIRD has a brewing capacity of 350mL, which is approximately 1.75 cups of coffee. It is designed primarily for single-serve brewing rather than large batches.
The brewer is designed for easy disassembly, allowing you to access all components for a thorough cleaning. Note that the parts are not dishwasher safe, so they should be hand-washed to preserve the premium materials.
The BIRD includes both a reusable stainless steel mesh filter and 300 Abaca paper filters. You can use the mesh filter alone for a fuller body, or combine it with a paper filter for a cleaner, more clarified cup.
