r/pourover

Obviously it looks amazing and is a joy to use, but I did notice that when using Kalita papers the brews tend to slow down really quickly. Much more quickly than a B75 with the same papers (this is obviously a very fast flat bottom). Is this due to less bypass? The ridges of the paper seem to really adhere to the grooves of the brewer so I suspect this to be the case.Even when wetting the paper it seems slower? But I'm convinced that's my mind playing tricks on me.

When using T90's it just seems like a fancy looking v60, haven't noticed much difference there.

Has anyone tried anything similar to what they’re releasing tomorrow? I’m thinking the Peru sounds good! And yeah I know, it’s a hype brand but still a small business I feel good about supporting and I want to grab a bag to see what the fuss is about. 🤷‍♂️

I'm able to get consistent coffees (pour over and Aeropress) from my S3. Maybe my taste is unsophisticated, but I love the body and rounded taste of the S3. I'm looking for a really good second grinder for work.

By comparison, I find my K6 a bit "thin" tasting and harder to dial in. My C3 makes a nice cup but the flavours get blurred together.

Any recommendations for a 1zpresso grinder that would suit my taste? ZP6, K or X ultra?

sometimes with immersion/hybrid brews i’ll recirculate a little during the steep and the cup doesn’t just taste stronger. it feels more integrated or layered somehow.

like the sweetness/body/clarity balance shifts differently compared to just grinding finer or extending contact time.

curious if other people notice this with immersion brewers too or if i’m just inventing new coffee rabbit holes again lol

Back in the day I would disassemble my electric Rancilio Rocky (which I still have and it works flawlessly after 28 years) once or twice a year for proper cleaning. About once a month I’d grind white rice until it came out clean.

Is there any reason this wouldn’t be reasonable practice for my 1zpresso K Ultra? I’m not doing competitive cupping - I just want a very good pour over.

TIA

Been running a Niche Zero for a long time and it's been great, but I've got the itch for that silly-high-clarity-in-the-cup taste and the NZ just isn't getting me there. Time for a dedicated filter grinder.

Budget is around $2k, can stretch to $2.5k if it's actually worth it.

The honest truth: I want an EK. But I can't afford one, and just as importantly I don't have the counter space for one. So that's out, no matter how much I daydream about it.

Where I'm landing right now:

• Option-O P80 with either the DB2 Ultra burrs or the SSP 80mm Brew burrs
• Z1 with UMV1
• Just get a A4z and stop worrying.

The grinder will be filter only. My Niche stays on espresso duty and I'm genuinely happy with it there, so this purchase is 100% about chasing clarity for pourover.

So am I being crazy with the P80 idea? Does the burr choice (DB2 Ultra vs SSP 80mm Brew) meaningfully change the clarity character I'm after? Or is a Z1/UMV1 going to get me 95% of the way there for less money and proven design?

Whats a step up from it?

I am up for paying more if it gets better, but I don't care whether its electric or hand powered so don't want to pay just for that. I like the idea of seperation and something different from my C40. Could probably spend up to £500 ish (the pietro is £375).

Is there anything better around that price, or if not how much do you have to spend to get something that is markedly better?

Just thinking about plastic going brittle, releasing chemicals etc. There should be a lifetime for a plastic V60 right?

Given the modest price I would make change every two years?

What's your take on this?

Even the picture of the author is AI, the cover has Africa labeled multiple times, total trash with nearly 40 BS reviews taking peoples money.

Title says it all. I have a Mazzer Philos so I'm happy with my main grinder. But I'm enjoying pourover more lately and want to try conical burr. I have a Baratza Encore packed away (NON-ESP) and I separately want to buy a hand grinder to use while traveling. Should I pull the trigger now and use a K6 or is the Encore as good? Anyone here used both?
