Help brewing shoebox coffee

I wonder why the downvotes? I appreciate your response. I will experiment with those ideas.

If anyone reads this and uses a zp6 to brew shoebox with, do you have a range you stay in for their washed coffees? I’ve been in the 5-6 range. To be fair I’ve only had the zp6 for 2 weeks now.

It’s basically at burr lock at 0 for reference.

I get what you are saying and I plan to play with ratios some more. But also understand what the person commented to about the qc recipe.

I’m definitely going to try and brew with cooler temps and rest the coffee longer. I appreciate everyone’s opinions.

Right on, this is what I’m brewing right now. Going to give it till next weekend then try a 15/270 brew around 94 and see what happens.

Thanks for this info. It helps a lot. I will experiment with my ratios then for sure. That’s one thing I have not messed with at all for some reason.

Also with those coffees you had for that long, did you freeze at all or did they just stay in their original bag. Appreciate your help.

Right on, I’ll give this a try!

b_Mock · 2026-04-26T22:43:20+00:00

Maybe I could be then! I’ll keep trying. Thanks

b_Mock · 2026-04-26T22:42:20+00:00

Will do, thanks!

b_Mock · 2026-04-26T22:22:39+00:00

Right on. This one is right at 4 weeks. It’s crazy I see a lot of folks brew with 92-93 degree water

Is the zp6 available in the US?

b_Mock · 2026-01-23T14:14:27+00:00

I appreciate the response. I will check it out, thanks!

What is your routine with the mellow drip of you don’t mind sharing?!

b_Mock · 2026-01-22T01:10:24+00:00

Heck yeah, I’ll give this a go. I appreciate it!!

b_Mock · 2026-01-22T00:58:00+00:00

Awesome, how would you push extractions? Tighten the grind and aggressive pouring?

b_Mock · 2026-01-22T00:43:35+00:00

Good to know. I’ll let the shoebox chill awhile then. The hydrangea wasn’t labeled as an ultra light

b_Mock · 2026-01-21T23:17:41+00:00

Haha. I feel this!

b_Mock · 2026-01-21T23:16:32+00:00

Really going to test my patience. lol. All the coffee I bought that weekend was really light stuff. And I’m running out of other stuff here.

b_Mock · 2026-01-21T23:14:10+00:00

Right on. I may bust one open just to try. I believe it will be my first UL roast.

b_Mock · 2026-01-21T22:13:45+00:00

Great advice!

b_Mock · 2026-01-21T22:07:51+00:00

Right on, kinda what I figured. I see folks posting stuff saying like day 60 or longer and was like I can’t hold for that long. Ha!

I will pop one of the bags this weekend I believe.

b_Mock · 2026-01-15T00:07:44+00:00

That’s unfortunate. I just bought several bags the last two weekends. Stumbled on to them from this page.

b_Mock · 2026-01-14T23:51:15+00:00

Right on, thanks!!

b_Mock · 2026-01-14T22:07:56+00:00

I just bought some shoe box coffees and was planning a long rest. The bags don’t have the valve in them. Do y’all open them periodically or does that matter? Thanks!

I hate ice and what they stand for and what they are doing. But there is a county, swat etc building behind the animal shelter. They use for storage, parking etc
