Orea Z1

Foam Cue

Coffee Soldier's Z1 recipe replaces fixed intervals with visual foam cues and sends each pour through a Melodrip. Brewing to the OREA logo and waiting for the foam to settle aims for controlled agitation, sweetness, and clarity.

Not a timer. Your barista. It guides every pour live, learns from each cup and tells you what to change to nail the next one — with a tasting journal, bean and grinder tracking.

Notes

Bloom thoroughly and swirl once, then pour through the Melodrip until foam reaches the OREA logo. Resume only after it settles. Use a Comandante at 21-25 click, stay slightly hotter than for a V60, and shake the Melodrip clean at the finish.
