SWITCH 2-Pour Simple Recipe
Ratio: Coffee grounds/water = 1:15~1:17
Grind size: Medium to medium-coarse
Water temperature: 87-93℃ (depending on roast level)
1: Rinse the dripper to warm it up.
2: Set the dripper, paper filter, and grounds in the server.
3: First pour. Close the switch, start the timer. Simultaneously pour half of the total hot water (around 93-87℃).
3: Gently swirl (spin) at the end of the pour. Let it bloom for 30 seconds.
4: After 30 seconds, open the switch to let the water drain, and wait until the timer reaches 60 seconds.
4: Second pour. Close the switch, pour the remaining water, and gently swirl (spin). Wait until the timer reaches 120 seconds, then after 120 seconds, open the switch. Extraction is complete when the water has fully drained.
If you change the glass body of the Switch dripper to a V60 NEO, please grind finer.
Adjust the water temperature according to the roast level (generally, light roasts are brewed at high temperatures around 90℃). For grind size, generally, the lighter the roast, the finer the grind; the darker the roast, the coarser the grind.
Spin = Hold the bottom of the dripper and gently shake the entire setup in a circular motion, including the server. The reason for spinning is to ensure all coffee grounds in the dripper are evenly exposed to the hot water.
The taste and strength are generally adjusted by changing the grind size (particle size) of the coffee and the water temperature. For grind size, start as fine as possible, and if there's a powdery or astringent taste, gradually make it coarser.
The more processes involved in brewing coffee, the more variables there are, leading to different tastes (variations) each time. THE WORD COFFEE aims to minimize these variables and pursue a simple extraction method so that even beginners can consistently brew delicious coffee. Use this recipe as a base, fine-tune it, and find your perfect 100-point cup of coffee.
