Key Features

Pod Filtration

The Pod holds the grounds before brewing, and contains the vacuum-creating gasket to help extract your coffee. The vacuum allows you to grind much finer than typical pour-over for high extraction yields, and the paper filter guarantees extreme clarity.

Clever Agitation

Hold the crown and perform a couple of up & down plunges to fully agitate your coffee.

Think French Pull, not French Press

Looks can be deceiving. The similarity with French Press ends at the shape of the carafe, as the RoadRunner allows for much finer grinding, superior filtration, and no bitter coffee dwelling in the carafe once the brew has finished.

Clean, Durable Materials

Durable 100% virgin Tritan polymer and stainless steel with silicone gaskets. All 100% food-safe and free from BPA, BPS, PFOA, PFOS, and phthalates.

Thoughtful Details

Virtually unbreakable, travel-ready body

Built from 100% virgin Tritan™, chosen specifically to withstand real travel: drops, bags, and daily knocks. Bring your brewer anywhere - without the fragility and weight of glass.

Shared BIRD DNA

Shared BIRD DNA

Shared BIRD DNA

Coffee brewed with the RoadRunner matches the Bird in extraction character. The RoadRunner delivers the same no-bypass, vacuum-driven filtration that defines the Bird - producing a clean, aromatic cup with the body intact.

Three integrated coffee cellars

Three integrated coffee cellars

New to the RoadRunner: three integrated bean cellars, each designed to hold up to 30 g of whole-bean or pre-ground coffee . They store inside the carafe and seal with the same one-way freshness valves as our Bean Cellars, keeping your doses organized for the road.

Foldable handle, small footprint

Pod Prep

Prepare the brew pod using the stainless filter, additional paper filter optional. Use the brewing arm to carefully push the brew pod to bottom of the carafe. Do not prewet paper.

Grind & Dose

Grind 20-35g fresh coffee and dose into brewer, adding 300-400mL of preheated brewing water on top.

Agitate & Wait

Use the brewing arm to agitate the coffee and water evenly. Let sit for as long (or short) as your recipe calls for.

Vacuum Filter

After brew time is up, rotate the Wingnut, which raises the Drive Shaft, and pulls up the Pod. This creates a vacuum beneath the Pod, separating the grounds from the coffee, leaving you with a perfectly filtered cup.

Cleanup

Snap brew pod into the drip catcher, and enjoy your coffee. After the brew pod has finished cooling, remove the pod cap and compost your puck. Rinse all parts with warm soapy water to clean. Don't place the RoadRunner or any of its parts in the dishwasher.
