How to Use the Trinity Zero Coffee Press

[@hendrikano]

As a flightattendant I use the trinity zero for years now both on board the aircraft and in my hotel room…I love it!!!!

[@Jaymv4s]

Shoot. I really don't need another coffee maker but now I want this. I travel often and this seems even easier to travel with than aeropress.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

I'd say it is easier - no paper filter - pretty much a similar routine in cleaning and makes a consistent cup of coffee 👌

[@PositiveEnergyPodcast]

I agree it looks easier to travel with, but probably not easier to clean. It looks as if the spent coffee puck would end up being a soupy mess, where as with the AeroPress, the solid puck simply pops out and the rest of the unit is mostly clean.

[@robandkarenoberg1176]

So simple! Our daughter bought us one of these to use in our camper van. Perfection!

[@AlternativeBrewing]

That is awesome!

[@_guillermo]

What other brewer would you say the results are similar to? Is it like what you get out of a moka pot, aeropress, drip system, or something else entirely?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

I would say it would be similar in strength to a Moka Pot or a low ratio Aeropress - like 25g in to 100ml water say. Or even a V60 "ristretto" - if there is such a thing 😂

[@christophermoore7657]

Bought one of these from you guys last week and have enjoyed the results so far! May replace my Nanopresso on work trips! Is it normal for some of the coffee grounds to work their way up into the top chamber during the pumping process, or am I filling to high/using too fine a grind? Still makes great coffee and none of the grounds end up in the cup, but I just want to make sure I am doing it right :-)

[@AlternativeBrewing]

thanks so much! Yes, it is normal that some grounds work their way up - it shouldn't effect the overall process though. Kind regards, Alternative Brewing

[@arpit5317]

Simple yet good.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Sure is!

[@Palaloiiy]

How about the taste compare to Vacone?

[@tingshanfrancisho7311]

does an aeropress paper filter fits?

[@TC_Prof]

Yes i tried it check out my IG u will see

[@ekasupariyanti2288]

Nice and travel friendly product to have. How about the taste compared to portable espresso maker? Thanks

[@AlternativeBrewing]

It's good - it's not espresso but it can be made quite strong in flavour. Way more compact than a portable espresso machine though :)

[@gracielavilla8993]

Thank you for the tutorial! I have just received my brewer and tried it out. Happy with it! What do you think of pouring 100÷100 ml through the coffee filter instead of pouring water on top of the standard brewing? Pros and cons?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Fantastic! Great idea - it could get a string brew that 👌

[@gracielavilla8993]

@@AlternativeBrewing Thank you!

[@PreoteeAfsanaHoq]

Got mine from #Kickstarter last week! Love using it!

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Nice!!

[@christoskoulizakis5551]

Sounds great for travelling very light as an alternative to my Moka Pot, will prepacked and grind coffee work too?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Yes, absolutely

[@dimdimdimsum8808]

how does it compares to aeropress? which one taste better?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

The Trinity Zero has a richer flavour used as is .. with the metal filter and large bre ratio. The Aeropress can brew a similar coffee to the trinity but is not the usual way in which you'd brew with it

[@dimdimdimsum8808]

@@AlternativeBrewing noted. because this is more like kafflano compact but only half way there. comparing it to manual "espresso" maker would not be apple to apple. comparing it with aeropress would be much better.

[@ShahTheSniper]

Can’t find an answer anywhere: does this support cold water brewing?

[@ginomp347]

what grind size do you recommend for this brewer? trying to get the fines out of my brew.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Go a little coarser than you are at the moment. Press slower and more steadily to avoid pressing fines through the metal filter 👍

[@FizzFizzFizzFizzFizz]

Cheers mate! 👍

[@AlternativeBrewing]

No problem 👍

[@petterin1]

This is great!

[@-chris-]

After owning a Delter Press for over a year, which needs all of the silicone to be removed and fastidiously cleaned regularly, it didn’t take me long to break a tab on the Trinity Zero’s silicone pump trying to remove it. It still works, but not regularly pulling the lid apart can lead to questionable smells. Is there any way to hygienically clean it without breaking it?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

half vinegar, half water, and a teaspoon of lemon juice will keep it clean. soak for a little while, then rinse with warm/hot water.

[@-chris-]

Thanks very much! 😄

[@TC_Prof]

Oh yeah Josh woot woot!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@sluive3228]

Table warp @1:20

[@AlternativeBrewing]

that's my bad! I should of shot my action at 60FPS 😂

[@razisbadilah6288]

trinity zero vs delter press.. what better?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Do you prefer a Filter Coffee or a string Espresso like coffee? The Delter will certainly make for an easier Filter style coffee - whilst the TZ can do it - it's more designed around getting a good rich concentrated coffee easily - and portable than adding hot water or milk

[@Byb_965]

Moka pot new generation 😂🤚🏼

[@TheKiwimedic]

I don't like it. No matter how I grind the coffee, fine or coarse or anywhere between, water gets pushed out from around the edges of where the coffee basket screws into the body of the brewer.

[@PeterDoughman]

You really couldn't have found a better glass to brew into? I was stressed out watching the brew process

[@AlternativeBrewing]

haha yeah - your 100% right! It still worked but I needed a wider rim for this one 👍

[@kriskhaira]

Doesn't seem like enough bars of pressure to make a proper espresso (which requires ~9 bars of pressure). Still a great concept for travellers, though.

[@ulisesoad]

It never says espresso, it just says it's strong coffee

[@kriskhaira]

@@ulisesoad Good point. I missed that because it looks like many portable coffee makers that also claim to make espresso. Thanks.

[@12345678abracadabra]

More like a smaller aeropress, both are hybrids of percolation and immersion

[@arywwwn]

No crema at all

[@phillipgraves4721]

I wish people would Stop using environmental profile as a selling technique. It is so insulting.

[@lennywinbox1734]

quite lame compared to the Aeropress.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

It doesn't have the degree of variability in brewing recipes like the Aeropress does - but I would say it certainly say it's on par from being a great travel coffee brewer - and especially for both milk and black coffee

[@apocalic]

Meh, just use Vietnamese filter coffee method...
