Brewing Guides
Hario Switch
Temperature
93°C (200°F)
Ratio
1:15 (15g coffee : 225g water)
Grind
1Zpresso J ~30 clicks (medium-fine). Target range 28–32 clicks depending on bean age.
Grind Adjustment
if sour: grind finer — reduce 2–3 clicks (try ~27–28) and/or raise brew temp 1–2°C; if bitter: grind coarser — increase 2–3 clicks (try ~32–33) and/or lower brew temp 1–2°C
Brewing Steps
- 1. Bloom with 30g water for 30 seconds — start timer, pour evenly to saturate all grounds.
- 2. Pour steadily to 225g by 1:00 (about 45–60s after bloom). Give one gentle stir at ~1:05 to break pockets of gas and ensure even extraction.
- 3. Place lid and let steep undisturbed until 2:00. At ~2:00, flip the Hario Switch to drain slowly into your server — allow drawdown to finish by ~2:30.
- 4. Total time ~2:30. Serve immediately. If adding milk, this slightly bolder extraction will cut through and retain cocoa/molasse notes.
Pro Tips
- 💡 Best technique: use the Switch as intended — full immersion with controlled pour then switch to drain. Gentle stirring once after final pour helps even extraction and highlights the roast’s molasses/cacao notes.
- 💡 Key factor for success: grind consistency and timing. Start at ~30 clicks, taste, then adjust in small increments (2–3 clicks). Keep water temp steady and avoid overlong steep to prevent harsh bitterness.
Troubleshooting
Sour → Grind finer (reduce 2–3 clicks), raise temp 1–2°C, or extend steep 15–30s. Bitter → Grind coarser (increase 2–3 clicks), lower temp 1–2°C, or shorten steep/stop drawdown sooner.
