ZeroHero Dingyuan Ice Drip Coffee Maker

Because this is a slow-drip system, the extraction process usually takes between 4 to 8 hours depending on your grind size and the drip rate you set. It is designed to be a patient process that rewards you with a very smooth, low-acidity concentrate.

For optimal results, use a medium-fine to medium grind. If the grind is too fine, the water may struggle to pass through, while a grind that is too coarse can result in a weak, under-extracted flavor.

The unit is made from high-quality borosilicate glass, which is durable and heat-resistant, but it should still be handled with care. Cleaning is straightforward; the glass components can be rinsed with warm water and mild soap, though you should be gentle with the serpentine duct to avoid breakage.

The 1200ml capacity refers to the total brewing volume of the system. Keep in mind that the result is a concentrated coffee extract, which is typically diluted with water, ice, or milk before serving, so it yields significantly more than 1200ml of ready-to-drink coffee.

No, this system is specifically engineered for cold-drip extraction. Using hot water could damage the glass or affect the drip rate, and the design is optimized to highlight the unique flavor profile of cold-brewed coffee.

The unit stands 900mm tall and is 200mm wide. You will need a stable, dedicated spot with enough vertical clearance to accommodate its height, as it is quite a tall piece of equipment.
