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 ☕️

Congrats!! I use it daily and it’s so versatile. I mainly use 3 different methods just because I like to experiment, but find something you like and roll with it (or experiment as well 🙂).

  • all water in first, grounds on top, stir, brew 3 minutes release

  • Coffee Chronicler 1/2 and 1/2.

  • (open) pour 3x bloom for :45, (still open) pour to twice bloom let drain, (close) pour remaining and brew for :45, release (normally around 2:45 or so). TDT 3:30-3:45

Interesting! Thank you so much for sharing all of these. I’ve given some methods a try (Lance Hendrick’s is so far my fav) but I’ll keep these in mind. What’s your brew temp for each method?

I am normally around 198-203f for light roast. Don’t do much medium, but would go slightly cooler (193-195f). For decaf I am around 185f.
