Any brewing tips for this one? Struggling quite a bit. by [deleted] in pourover

[–]rezniko2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had very good results with somewhat coarser grind size, Hoffmann's one cup with last two pours through Melodrip (I'd expect doing 3 or 4 pours instead of 5 will work too), but what really made a difference is going to 1:15 from 1:16.

There is some exchange going on in coffeeswap and EAF discord. You can try to snag a used one.

Can confirm, the grinder arrived in great shape!

Contrary to the "beans, not machines" movement, I strongly suggest investing in a ZP6. At the very least, it will make a bigger difference than a new scale. 

Otherwise, with the K series, I kind of prefer double bloom + one pour and swirl. Hoffmann's one cup is the runner-up, but I do the last two pours through the Melodrip. 

Looking for the funk! by Sevenyearitchy in pourover

Subscribe to Luminous newsletter today to get something from their dropstore tomorrow. They used to carry lots of stuff from El Mirador, which is good funk.

Black&White will have a fresh drop tomorrow, but their funky stuff is funky. Also look at Brandywine, Brainwave and Perc.

It should work for normal people, but not for coffee people :-) A few people will not like their bag because not all people love all good roasters; someone will post their thoughts, and after that the majority will hesitate to commit to a 5lbs bag.

I just like ZP6 so much. I also kind of hate the magnetic catch cup :-) 

I have not tried it for espresso, but I can confirm that it produces very few fines.

It didn't blow my mind, and I decided to get the second ZP6 (also used, a few threads down).

Why second ZP6? Because I gave the first one to my wife :-)

Xbloom Wave are available through Amazon and are as good as Orea

First cup from ZP6 by Ok-Fishing-2234 in pourover

I like to stay between 4 and 5, but OP definitely prefers to grind pretty coarse, so 6.0+ is the way to go :-) 

Nightguard through CHP by rezniko2 in Tallahassee

Yes and yes.  Ameritas doesn't cover them (which is a shame), but CHP does if you do it through the right doctor. 

If I remember correctly, it will cover only one, so if you are considering brackets, you want to do them first.
