A $360 brewer that looks like a French press—but brews in reverse? Meet the Weber Workshops Bird, a high-end immersion brewer that claims to be an heirloom coffee tool. But does that price tag actually make sense, or is this just an overpriced, overengineered luxury?
➡️ In this review, we put the Bird to the test, break down its design, functionality, and coffee quality, and ask the real question: Is it 9x better than an Aeropress? Plus, we bring in a non-coffee enthusiast perspective to see if the experience justifies the price.
📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
How the Weber Bird brews “in reverse” and why that’s unique
Is it actually better than a French press or Aeropress?
The high-end materials & craftsmanship behind the design
The trade-offs: Is it worth it, or just coffee gadget overkill?

My Bird Recipe:
90C water
16g coffee : 256g water
(I’ll sometimes flex the dose and ratio up to about 22-25g coffee and between 1:16-1:17)
Grind at v60ish grind or just coarser. Using both metal and paper filter.
Fill to total water weight. Agitate 5-10x.
Steep until 3:30-4:00, then vacuum over 30ish sec.
Enjoy!
