Hario Switch

Temperature
92°C (198°F)
Ratio
1:16 (15g : 240g water)
Grind
≈30 clicks on 1Zpresso J (medium-fine)
Grind Adjustment

if sour: make grind finer by 1–2 clicks, increase water temp to 93–94°C, or extend contact time by 15–30s; if bitter: make grind coarser by 1–2 clicks, reduce water temp to 90–92°C, or shorten contact/drain sooner

Brewing Steps
  1. 1. Bloom with 30g water for 30s (start timer, stir gently, close lid for immersion).
  2. 2. Pour to 120g by 1:00 (slow steady spiral pour to build body and even extraction).
  3. 3. Final pour to 240g by 1:30, give one gentle stir, close lid and let steep until 2:15; at 2:15 flip/activate the Switch to drain.
  4. 4. Total time ~2:15–2:30 including drain. Serve immediately to enjoy the strawberry, peach and floral clarity.
Pro Tips
  • 💡 Use the Switch's immersion mode — keeping the lid closed during steep emphasizes sweetness and floral notes; drain at the planned time to retain clarity.
  • 💡 Key factor for success: small grind and contact-time adjustments. This natural Ethiopian will polarize quickly, so tweak grind in 1–2 click increments rather than big jumps.
Troubleshooting

Sour → grind finer by 1–2 clicks, raise temp to 93–94°C, or increase contact time by 15–30s. Bitter → grind coarser by 1–2 clicks, lower temp to 90–92°C, or shorten contact/drain earlier.
