Know before you buy
The modes adjust the contact time between the water and coffee grounds. Immersion mode keeps water in contact with the grounds longer for a heavier body, while the flow-based modes allow for faster extraction, which typically highlights brighter, more acidic, and fruity notes.
Yes. While it offers advanced control for experienced baristas, the distinct modes make it easy for beginners to experiment with different flavor profiles without needing to master complex pouring techniques.
The dripper is designed to work with standard pour-over paper filters. Ensure you use the size compatible with the dripper's cone shape to maintain the intended flow rate for each mode.
The zeroHero is designed to allow you to toggle between settings, giving you the flexibility to customize your extraction mid-brew if you want to experiment with hybrid brewing methods.
Unlike a French press, which uses a metal mesh filter, this dripper uses paper filters even in immersion mode. This results in a full-bodied cup that retains the richness of immersion brewing but with the clean, sediment-free finish of a pour-over.
