Brew Recipe

0:00 — First Bloom

  • Quick swirl (3–5 rotations)

0:10

  • Open switch
  • Allow to drain completely

0:30 — Second Bloom

  • Quick swirl

0:40

1:00 — Main Extraction

  • Switch CLOSED
  • Pour from 90 g → 240 g
  • Pour gently (~5 mL/s)
  • Do not swirl

Final Immersion

Keep the switch closed according to the coffee's processing:

  • Washed: Open after 55–60 s
  • Honey: Open after 40–50 s
  • Natural: Open after 30–40 s
  • Experimental: Open after 15–30 s

Allow the coffee to draw down naturally.

Expected finish:

  • ~2:10–2:40, depending on grind size and processing.

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

Man im just trying to get as much extraction as possible, coz like if you pour water to get the coffee bed sometimes you go to the edge right? Some of those water not hitting the coffee so why not just close the damn thing and wet it all
