Collection: Zerohero

Zerohero makes pour over gear with an eye on how it looks as much as how it works. The range at Something's Brewing covers a dripper and a dripper stand, both built for people who brew filter coffee at a counter they actually see every day.

Zero Hero Prisma PCTG Dripper

A cone dripper moulded in PCTG, a copolyester that is clear, impact resistant and safe at brewing temperatures. Plastic drippers are often treated as the budget option, but they hold heat better than glass and survive being knocked off a counter, which is why plenty of competition baristas use them by choice rather than compromise.

The Prisma is faceted rather than smooth, so you can watch the bed and the drawdown through the walls while you pour.

Zero Hero Walnut Base Dripper Stand

A walnut base stand that holds the dripper above your cup or server, so you can see the brew and move the vessel without lifting a hot cone. It takes standard cone drippers, so it works with what you already own.

Brewing with a Zerohero dripper

Medium grind, roughly the texture of coarse sand, at a 1:16 ratio. That means 15g of coffee to 250ml of water at around 93 degrees Celsius, finishing in two and a half to three and a half minutes.

Rinse the paper filter first to remove any papery taste and preheat the cone. Bloom with twice the coffee weight in water for 30 seconds, then pour in slow circles from the centre outward in two or three stages.

A gooseneck kettle gives you the pour control this method depends on, and a burr grinder gives you the grind consistency. If the brew finishes in under two minutes, grind finer. If it stalls past four, grind coarser.

What else you need

Filters sized to your cone, since a filter folded to fit will collapse mid brew. The coffee filters range covers the common sizes.

Fresh beans matter more than the dripper. A pour over shows off good coffee and exposes stale coffee just as clearly, so buy from the coffee beans range with a roast date on the bag and finish it within a month.
