Recipes:
V60 (James Hoffman 1 Cup Recipe - My Variant)
15g ground coffee
250g water, 94c
Grind: medium-fine

0m00s: Pour 50g of water to bloom
0m10s - 0m15s: Gently Swirl
0m00s - 1m00s: Bloom (I will sometimes shorten the bloom to 45s - subsequent times also shortened.
1m00s - 1m10s: Pour 50g, up to 100g total
1m10s - 1m20s: Pause
1m20s - 1m30s: Pour 50g, up to 150g total
1m30s - 1m40s: Pause
1m40s - 1m50s: Pour 50g, up to 200g total
1m50s - 2m00s: Pause
2m00s - 2m10s: Pour 50g, up to 250g total
2m10s - 2m15s: Gently swirl
Drawdown should take place somewhere between 2m30s and 3m30s

UFO:
15g ground coffee
250g water, 92c
Grind: medium-fine - slightly coarser than v60 above

0m00s: Pour 50g of water to bloom. Low agitation, small circles, sub 7g/sec. No swirl

2m00s: Pour 100g up to 250g, 16+g/sec, divided into two structures as detailed below:
- First 50g of final pour: circle pour, high agitation, to lift up fines from the edges of the dripper wall
- Second 50g of final pour: center pour, high agitation. to keep the fines suspended on top of the bed in order to decrease the fines contact time with water, thus preventing over extraction of those fines and clogging.
2m15s - Gentle Swirl
Draw down should take place between 2m45s and 3m00s

I Cant Believe This... - 1zpresso Q Air Review

Daddy Got Coffee 2024-10-26 | 1zpresso Q Air - geni.us/NYUP

It's SO cheap... but how does it grind?? This hand coffee grinder was one of the bigger surprises of the year for me. In this video I try the 1zpresso Q Air on pour over coffee, espresso and we put it up against a ton of other grinders including the 1zpresso K-Ultra, Comandante C40, Pietro, Zp6 and more.

Lets look at why you might, and why you might NOT want to consider the Q Air.

Is this the dripper that has finally won her over? The ODZ looks incredible, but can it brew too? Lets dive in and take a closer look at the ODZ dripper, with a little sidebar on how to get your partner "into" coffee stuff.

Two Recipes I used!

1 - My Basic 5 Pour - Slightly modified from James Hoffmans Recipe below

16g ground coffee, water heated to 201F
[0:00] - Bloom with 50g water
[0:50] - 50ml pour over 10 Seconds (100ml Total)
[1:00] - Pause 10 seconds
[1:10] - 50ml pour over 10 Seconds (150ml Total)
[1:20] - Pause 10 seconds
[1:30] - 50ml pour over 10 Seconds (200ml Total)
[1:40] - Pause 10 seconds
[1:50] - 50ml pour over 10 Seconds (250ml Total)
[2:20-2:45] - Final Draw down of brew.
If the pours are flowing extremely fast, just lengthen out the pauses between pours to try and hit the final total brew time and go finer on your grind next time.

2 - ODZ Suggested Bright and Fruity Brew
15g ground coffee, very fine, water heated to 201F
[0:00] - Bloom with 35g water
[0:25] - Pour 90g water (125g total)
[0:45] - Pour 50g water (175g total)
[1:00] - Pour 50 G Water (225g total)
[1:30] Final draw down of brew.
