The Weber Workshops RoadRunner is the ultimate answer to the compromise usually found in travel coffee. By re-engineering their revolutionary “BIRD” technology into a lightweight, shatterproof form, Weber Workshops has created a brewer that delivers the precision of a laboratory vacuum siphon with the portability of a water bottle. Designed for the coffee enthusiast who refuses to downgrade their brew while hiking, flying, or commuting, the RoadRunner utilizes a No-Bypass brewing method. This ensures that every drop of water passes through the coffee bed, resulting in higher extraction yields, richer body, and zero “weak” bypass water diluting your cup. Key Features True No-Bypass Brewing Unlike standard pour-overs where water can slip down the sides of the filter, the RoadRunner uses a sealed vacuum piston system. You control the pressure manually, forcing all water through the coffee grounds. This allows you to grind finer (similar to espresso or AeroPress) without clogging, unlocking flavor clarity that traditional travel presses cannot match. Indestructible Tritan™ Construction Built for the road, the carafe is molded from 100% virgin Tritan™. This material offers the glass-like clarity you need to monitor your brew but is virtually unbreakable. Throw it in a checked bag or a hiking pack without fear of shards. Integrated Workflow The RoadRunner is a self-contained system. It features: Folding Handle: A bistable handle that snaps securely into place for brewing and folds flush for packing. Bean Storage: Hidden inside the plunger are “Bean Cellars” with one-way valves, allowing you to carry fresh doses of beans directly inside the device. Mess-Free Puc Removal: The dry puck stays compacted at the bottom, making cleanup as simple as popping it out and rinsing.

We recommend starting with a medium-fine grind (slightly finer than V60) and adjusting based on the resistance you feel during the plunge.
