A 304 stainless steel Brewer Core sits inside a food-grade ABS insulated Thermal Sleeve, and its dense lattice of filter contact points is built to speed up drawdown rather than hold it back — handling 10–18g doses on standard 01 papers without late-stage stalls (manufacturer-rated).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesigned with a World Brewers Cup Champion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatt Winton, 2021 World Brewers Cup Champion and a member of TIMEMORE's Advisory Board, brought TIMEMORE a counterintuitive idea: more contact points between the paper filter and the dripper wall can make coffee flow faster, not slower. The VECTOR's internal geometry is built around that idea. TIMEMORE's aim is a brewer that performs at the level competition baristas need while staying forgiving for everyday brewing at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e3-zone, 5-layer flow structure\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the cone, three zones work in sequence. The upper Stabilization Zone holds pressure between the filter paper and the body; a narrow Sealing Zone forms a pressure barrier between the upper and lower sections; and the lower Acceleration Zone, split into three layers, is a negative-pressure area that increases the flow rate step by step towards the outlet. TIMEMORE's stated goal is steady extraction from the first pour to the last drop, with less channeling and none of the late-stage stalls that over-extract lighter roasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStaggered anti-channeling lattice\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inner wall is a dense, staggered network of contact points rather than a few long ribs. TIMEMORE says it spreads water evenly across the coffee bed to prevent channels, and that as the brew converges towards the spout the narrowing geometry accelerates drawdown. In TIMEMORE's own flow-rate comparison against its Turbo dripper (12.5g of washed coffee ground on a Sculptor 078 at setting 12.5; bloom of 30g, then three 70g pours), the VECTOR reaches a higher flow rate and drains sooner on every pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSix vents and high-airflow grooves\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix perimeter vents keep the upper chamber open to the air, equalising the pressure inside and outside the brewer. TIMEMORE says this keeps the paper filter seated properly against the walls, so pre-infusion proceeds evenly and the flow rate stays predictable. Airflow grooves through the lattice let the bed breathe and reduce the chance of the brew stalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e304 stainless steel core, insulated sleeve\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe part that touches the coffee is a 304 stainless steel Brewer Core, which TIMEMORE says reaches thermal equilibrium with the coffee bed quickly and holds it longer. Around it, a food-grade ABS insulated Thermal Sleeve limits heat loss to the room and keeps the outside cool to hold. TIMEMORE's extraction-temperature chart comparing glass, Tritan and metal versions shows the metal curve holding slightly higher in the later part of a brew. A precision-threaded locking ring clamps the assembly together and unscrews just as easily for cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMade for 01 filters, sized for bigger doses\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VECTOR takes standard 01 cone filter papers, the most widely available size in specialty coffee. TIMEMORE says the internal geometry stretches further than most 01 cones, taking doses from 10g up to 18g without the choking that smaller drippers run into at higher doses — so one compact brewer covers a single cup and a larger brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCo-designed by TIMEMORE and 2021 World Brewers Cup Champion Matt Winton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-zone, 5-layer structure: Stabilization, Sealing and Acceleration zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaggered anti-channeling lattice built to speed up drawdown and prevent stalls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix perimeter vents and high-airflow grooves for even pre-infusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel Brewer Core in a food-grade ABS insulated Thermal Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded locking ring comes apart for cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 01 paper filters, 10–18g dose (manufacturer-rated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout 390g; brewer 107 × 107 × 76mm, base 107 × 107 × 15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand and model: TIMEMORE x Matt Winton Crystal Eye Series VECTOR Dripper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: cone pour over coffee dripper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter size: standard 01 cone paper filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDose: 10–18g (manufacturer-rated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructure: 3 zones, 5 layers — Stabilization Zone, Sealing Zone, Acceleration Zone (3 layers); staggered anti-channeling lattice; six perimeter vents; high-airflow grooves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: 304 stainless steel Brewer Core; food-grade ABS insulated Thermal Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly: precision-threaded locking ring, detachable for cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 390g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: brewer 107 × 107 × 76mm; base 107 × 107 × 15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: One-Year Manufacturer's Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSource: TIMEMORE product page and Tech Specs (manufacturer-rated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackage:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVECTOR 304 stainless steel Brewer Core × 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulated Thermal Sleeve (food-grade ABS) × 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDripper base × 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TIMEMORE","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":57178024902996,"sku":"BRWR-TMMR-Vector-BLK","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/2469\/7428\/files\/TIMEMORE-Vector-MAIN-1.webp?v=1789579181","url":"https:\/\/www.kafava.com\/en-au\/products\/timemore-x-matt-winton-crystal-eye-vector-dripper-01-pour-over-304-stainless-steel-core","provider":"Kafava Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
