Those who enjoy café crème will find the Trinity Zero an interesting portable option. While this coffee press from Australia doesn't produce crema, the coffee results are impressive. The Trinity Zero Coffee Press weighs 115 grams. And the Trinity Zero is also quite handy in terms of size.
The brewing chamber is 4.5 cm high. The lid, with its integrated rubber lip and finger pump, is placed on top. The brewer itself has a diameter of 9 cm. The 2 cm high coffee chamber can be stored inside the brewing chamber for transport. A fine-perforated sieve made of stainless steel (AISI 304) is inserted into the brewing chamber.
Brewing instructions for the Trinity Zero
We use 18 grams of medium-fine ground coffee . A grind in the finer filter coffee range is a good guideline. During the brewing process, you can then determine whether the grind is appropriate or whether it needs to be adjusted for the next brew.
Boil the water and use it while it's still boiling. 100 ml is required. No scale is necessary for adding the water, as the water chamber provides a convenient guide. Once the water has been added, close the lid to prevent any loss of temperature.
From the moment of pouring, we wait about 30-40 seconds before we begin pressing. We press the rubber pumping area into the brewer with our thumb or index finger. This happens effortlessly.
If the grind setting is correct, a few continuous threads of coffee water will flow into the collecting container. If the coffee only drips into the container, the grind setting is too fine. If the coffee sprays into the container in multiple jets, the grind setting is too coarse.
I recommend pressing the pump in with your thumb and holding it for about 3-5 seconds. Then release to allow air to flow into the Trinity Zero, and then press again.
After 5 to 7 bursts, all the coffee will be in the cup in about 1.20 to 1.30 minutes .
What does Trinity Zero coffee taste like?
The coffee is reminiscent of a strong, long coffee. It tastes like what I imagine a good café crème to taste like, but without the crema. The coffee has a texture and, depending on the coffee, feels creamy in the mouth, significantly thicker than a filter coffee.
Compared to filter coffee, this coffee seems concentrated and unusually strong. The sweetness of the drink nevertheless creates balance. Because the coffee is filtered only through a metal sieve, the finest particles contribute to the texture of the drink. This distinguishes it from a concentrated Aeropress extraction, which is filtered through paper.
Improving Trinity Zero Coffee
The extraction of the Trinity Zero can be adjusted or improved to suit your taste. The brewing ratio of 18 to 100 ml, or 1:5.55, results in a concentrated cup of coffee with a volume of approximately 70 ml. The concentration of dissolved coffee particles is between 3.2 and 3.5 TDS% (total dissolved solids).
Those who prefer less concentrated coffee can extend the brew by adding 60-80°C hot water. For example, to make a strong filter coffee with 1.5% TDS from a 70ml brew with 3.3% TDS, approximately 84ml of water is needed.
Of course, you can also add milk or milk foam. I've written an article here about calculating the bypass quantity .
Which coffee for the Trinity Zero?
Personally, I prefer coffees roasted for filter coffee. Some filter coffees with pronounced acidity can be a bit sharp in the concentrated version. This can be corrected by adding a bypass filter.
Those who enjoy their coffee mixed with milk are better advised to choose a stronger roast. This can better cut through the milk flavor and result in a more interesting and complex drink.
