Brewing Guides
Hario Switch
Temperature
92°C (198°F)
Ratio
1:16 (15g coffee : 240g water)
Grind
1Zpresso J ~30 clicks (medium)
Grind Adjustment
if sour: grind finer (~2–3 clicks down), if bitter: grind coarser (~2–3 clicks up)
Brewing Steps
- 1. Bloom with 40g water for 30 seconds
- 2. Pour to 240g total by 0:45, give one gentle stir to ensure even saturation
- 3. Close the lid and let steep until ~2:30–2:45, then flip the Hario Switch to drain
- 4. Total time ~2:45. Serve immediately (allow 20–40s to cool slightly) and taste
Pro Tips
- 💡 Use the Switch to control contact time precisely — for this darker roast aim to drain at ~2:30 to emphasize syrupy sweetness and dark chocolate notes.
- 💡 Use the metal filter for fuller body and chocolate/oil character; if the cup is too heavy or muddy, try a rinsed paper filter for more clarity.
Troubleshooting
Sour → grind finer (reduce 2–3 clicks), raise brew temp 1–2°C or extend steep by 15–30s. Bitter → grind coarser (increase 2–3 clicks), lower temp by ~2°C, or shorten steep time; consider using a paper filter to reduce oils.
