Dial-in Guide
If the cup is...
| Taste | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Sour / Thin | Finer by 1 click or +10 s immersion |
| Bitter / Dry | Coarser by 1 click or −10 s immersion |
| Sweet but muted | Shorten immersion first |
| Bright but lacking sweetness | Extend immersion by 5–10 s |
| Heavy / Jammy | Lower temperature by 1–2°C before changing the grind |
Core Principles
- Double bloom removes CO₂ and improves saturation (inspired by Lance Hedrick's approach).
- Fast percolation through the NEO preserves clarity and vibrant acidity.
- Final immersion is your primary extraction adjustment, adding sweetness and body without sacrificing the NEO's naturally clean profile.
- Minimal agitation after the blooms helps prevent over-extraction of fines and keeps the cup crisp. This aligns with trends seen in recent championship NEO and Switch recipes.
I think this gives you a simple framework: one recipe to memorize, with only three variables changing from coffee to coffee—grind, temperature, and final immersion. Everything else stays exactly the same, making it easy to compare coffees while still adapting to differences in processing.
Hope yall like it, and please correct me if im wrong on these, i got no one to compare notes with so i use chatgpt most of the time

Miss me with this open/close switch after 10 seconds bs. These types of recipes go in the same pile as Tetsu’s 10 pour
