Orea Z1 Orea by Brian Quan

Brian Quan's Z1 recipe, poured through the Melodrip at full speed for the first two additions, then slowed to a trickle that holds a shallow column over the bed. Built for dense, high-grown light roasts.

Pour 60g through the Melodrip so the stream disperses evenly and never strikes the bed. Let it bloom.

Notes

Take the kettle off the heat as you start and let the temperature fall through the brew — the decline is part of the recipe, not a compromise. On the final pour watch the column, not the clock: keep it shallow, and it should run visibly clearer as you approach 250g.
