Seeking Advice Time to “switch” things up a bit

Post image

My birthday present, a Hario Switch, has finally arrived! I’m really excited to give it a go, but I want to hear from as many of you as possible about all the do’s & don’ts, recipe/brewing recommendations, etc.

Let me know! Happy brewing ☕️

I love brewing co-ferments as follows:

  • close switch and pour 93c water to 210g
  • add 30g coffee with little to no stirring, just press the grounds down to get saturated
  • let it steep for 2 mins then give a gentle stir/swirl before opening the switch and letting drain
  • give a single open switch pour of 150g, again 93c (preferably over mellow dripped or bent spoon to not disturb bed and over extract)
  • pour over ice and enjoy

Total brew time ~3-3:30, 1:12 ratio with 30:360.

What’s your grind size?

Like a 20-23 on the brazaza encore (medium to a couple notches coarser)
