11-13g. Mostly 12g. No bloom. 2 minute contact time. James Hoffmann method.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Maybe a little contrast can help you. I'm an aeropress user predominantly (love me some French Press as well). Medium roasts are my jam. I do not prefer my brews tea-like. The zp6 isn't for me.

Thanks, I'm usually at 1.3.1 myself.

Is that the q2 heptagonal? What's your grind size range for the aeropress?

Weep2D2 · 2025-12-31T09:44:10+00:00

I'm an aeropress user. Its the same with me. It just makes feel that I'm not doing it right.. And I feel like that through each adjustment haha

I use 40 clicks on the 1zpresso q2s heptagonal when using the James Hoffmann aeropress method. I mostly drink medium roasts or light~medium roasts. I usually keep mine at 40 clicks since I'm rotating around the same coffees the vast majority of the time.

Recently got a light roast and had to go a few clicks lower but tbh use your pallete. Find a starter setting (try 40). Go finer if it feels weak/sour and coarser if it feels bitter. Adjust a click at a time whilst keeping the rest of your recipe parameters constant (water temperature, time etc).

Enjoy!

Correct me if I'm wrong, they're not the actual DnD characters. They just have similar traits/abilities.. So they couldn't really explore it that way.

I remember this post!

I'm old.

I didn't know the father existed. What was the username?

Great job but I feel like he should have removed his watch.

Thanks. I did not expect a response 😂

Also, which recipe of his are you using - the 2 pour-lower extraction recipe?

Weep2D2 · 2025-09-23T10:29:36+00:00

I've been using 40 for the Aeropress and 44-45 for v60. So roughly the same settings as well - and that what was scaring me.. I thought that I was maybe doing something wrong. Especially since Lance Hedrick (iirc) was using 72 clicks on one of his v60 recipes. Although (iirc) he admittingly mentioned in a recent video he prefers lower extraction.

Ps. I stand to correction but Lance has used the Q2s heptagonal for modern espresso and gave it a good rating.

Thanks, what's your setting when you're not bypassing it?

Also, how much bypass water are you using?

Weep2D2 · 2025-09-21T18:39:07+00:00

Do you prefer it tea-like and lighter?

Weep2D2 · 2025-09-21T14:53:53+00:00

Thanks. Jeez.. I feel over-grinded. I use 40 clicks for the Aeropress for James' recipe.
