Closed Bloom

Hario Switch 02 Hario switch by brewnotes.co

This Hario Switch recipe reverses the related open-bloom idea: the bloom steeps behind a closed valve before open percolation completes the brew. The goal is a sweet, balanced cup with clean separation.

Notes

Saturate the grounds with 50g while the valve is closed and hold for 45s before release. Keep the finishing pours controlled and use a medium grind; if flow stalls after opening, coarsen 1 click.
