Foam Cue

Orea Z1 Orea by The Coffee Soldier

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.

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.
