072 Hario Switch
Ingredients
| 20g | coffee beans |
| 300g | water (205°F) |
Grind
| Remi (conventional burrs) | ~2.5 revolutions from zero |
| Lagom Mini 2 (Mizen 48MS) | +13 dots from zero |
Steps
-
Boil water. Let it cool to 205°F.
-
Grind 20g coffee. Place the filter in the Switch, rinse with hot water, discard.
-
Close the switch (ball valve down). Add grounds.
-
Start timer. Pour all 300g water in one go. Stir gently 3–4 times to ensure all grounds are wet.
-
At 2:00, open the switch. Let it draw down completely.
-
Total time including drawdown: ~2:45–3:15.
Notes
- The Switch is a hybrid — immersion steep followed by percolation drawdown. Grind slightly finer than a French press but coarser than a V60.
- The 1:15 ratio (20g/300g) works well for the smaller batch size. Scale to 30g/450g for a larger brew.
- Steeping longer (2:30–3:00 before opening) increases body and extraction. Shorter (1:30) gives a cleaner, lighter cup.
- The ball valve seal isn’t perfect — some dripping is normal. Don’t worry about it.
- This is more forgiving than a V60. The immersion phase means pour technique doesn’t matter.
