the lightest, most compact 
pour-over brewer in the world.

the Ultralight PourOver collapses into a package only 0.25” thick, weighing just under 10g. 





Pain Points



storage
current market offerings don’t provide storage/transport, leaving you digging through your pack
assembly
multi-step assemblies create confusion and risk lost parts 
function
varying brew methods across different products, doesn’t provide true pour-over experience
flavor
mesh filters commonly used for convenience, but are hard to clean and negatively impact flavor
