Yes the melodrip was specifically designed to translate some of the kettle pouring dynamics through the shower. So if you poured heavy it would deliver more water at a faster rate, thus deliver more agitation. Also the opposite goes for pouring lighter. This is to facilitate a level of manual control and not simply produce a narrow range of flow rate as the other dispersion screens that came after melodrip. Also, the closer the MD to the brewbed surface, the heavier the agitation and the higher the placement the softer the agitation. Great brew session BQ thank you!
UFO claims hario stole their air channel idea for a new dripper (after hario reached out to them to collaborate) this is made complicated by the fact that the ct62 dripper exists that also has air channels and I believe is older than ufo
Neat cup and Modcup coffee packaging looks on point👌🏼. As for the UFO dripper creator, I think he's seems a bit out of touch with reality, especially since he's accusing Hario of copying his design. UFO channels have the same look and curvature as the V60 ribs so, what came first? Channels and wider angles have existed on various brewers long before the UFO. If Hario decides to invert its own ribs, "thats copying?" But the UFO isn't, copying V60 ribs, or the channel's, or the wider angle of drippers in existence? There's even a dripper on the market already called UFO 🙈. I'm all about protecting intellectual property but this is just ridiculous.
I 100% agree with you here. I've pointed out sth similar to the UFO creator through their instagram and I got blocked immediately. They deserve absolutely no respect at all.
That’s hilarious! I also commented “politely” on instagram that they were copying left and right…. Guess what. Nasty text from them and then blocked, WOW😂. What a way to do business and make a name for them selves 🤔.
@@Chaoswizard-0 I've also heard of some other guys being blocked for the same reasons. They're really spectacularly pathetic especially when they also officially claim the dripper was designed to work with Hario switch base. They're quite literally freeloading on both Hario's legacy and their generosity for not making a big deal out of their ridiculous acts.
@@DriveWork-qz5gjThe truth is obviously inconvenient, and it must have hit a nerve that challenges the ways things have been done by them. One word comes to mind “opportunist“. At the end of the day for most those brands it’s about coffee, the stoke and love for the community but I guess there will always unfortunately be those opportunist and profiteers in it for the short term gain. Constraints can either spark true innovation or they can lead to copycat design wrapped in a thin layer of pseudoscience. No wonder they said “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. Mad props to Hario, Origami, CT62 and a handful of others for original design and doing business in a good way.

If "You never go full v60" becomes a thing, I 100% will blame this man.
