We have taken a Natural process coffee from Ethiopia for body and sweetness. To this we add  Colombia and Peru.  These coffees bring a touch of fruit and acidity to balance the cup. This current blend is designed to be a delicious fruity espresso and when combined with milk, a super sweet chocolatey hug in a mug.

Hario Switch

Temperature
94°C (201°F)
Ratio
1:1.9 (19g coffee : 36g water)
Grind
Very fine — espresso-fine (on a 1Zpresso J aim for the low single-digit to mid single-digit range; adjust in 1–2 click increments)
Grind Adjustment

if sour: grind finer, increase brew temp by 1–2°C and/or lengthen brew time by 3–5s; if bitter: grind coarser, lower brew temp by 1–2°C and/or shorten brew time by 2–4s

Brewing Steps
  1. 1. Bloom with 10g water for 10 seconds to fully saturate the puck, then gently stir to release initial gases
  2. 2. Pour to 36g total water by 0:10 (steady pour), give one gentle stir, then close the Switch for immersion
  3. 3. At 0:30–0:34 total brew time, flip the Switch and drain; expect a beverage yield ~32–36g — serve immediately
  4. 4. Total time: 30–34 seconds from first pour to finished cup. If combining with milk, steam milk to ~60–65°C and pour straight away for a sweet, chocolatey result
Pro Tips
  • 💡 Use a consistent tamp/leveling in the basket and a single confident stir during bloom to promote even extraction; the natural Ethiopian component benefits from a slightly warmer temp and short contact time
  • 💡 Key factor: grind consistency — small adjustments to grind will shift this sweet-fruity profile quickly; tweak grind before changing dose or temp
Troubleshooting

Sour → grind finer, increase brew temp by 1–2°C and/or add 3–5s to brew time; Bitter → grind coarser, lower temp by 1–2°C and/or shorten brew time by 2–4s.
