Brewing Guides
Hario Switch
Temperature
92°C (198°F)
Ratio
1:15 (15g coffee : 225g water)
Grind
1Zpresso J ~30 clicks (medium‑fine)
Grind Adjustment
if sour: grind finer by 2–4 clicks (reduce click number) and/or increase temp 1–2°C; if bitter: grind coarser by 2–4 clicks (increase click number) and/or reduce temp 1–2°C
Brewing Steps
- 1. Bloom with 30g water for 30 seconds
- 2. Pour to 225g by 0:45 timing (use steady concentric pours to fully saturate the bed)
- 3. Cover and let steep until 2:15, then flip the Hario Switch to drain; allow ~20–30s for runoff
- 4. Total time ~2:30–2:45 (including drain). Serve immediately
Pro Tips
- 💡 Use the Switch's immersion capability: aim for even saturation during the single pour rather than multiple aggressive pulses—this preserves the berry brightness and reduces harshness from the dark roast.
- 💡 Key factor: contact time + grind. With this dark roast keep brew short and slightly coarser than for lighter roasts; adjust by clicks rather than big temperature changes to dial in clarity vs chocolate sweetness.
Troubleshooting
Sour → grind 2–4 clicks finer, raise temp 1–2°C, or increase steep by 15–30s. Bitter → grind 2–4 clicks coarser, drop temp 1–2°C, or shorten steep/drain sooner.
