Hario Switch 02 Hario switch by Hario

Presented by Hario as a hybrid Switch method, the brew begins with the valve open for percolation and closes for a later immersion phase. The sequence seeks lively definition up front with a rounder, fuller finish.

Notes

Let the opening percolation establish an even, level bed before closing the valve. If the cup is thin, grind slightly finer or lengthen immersion; if it is muddy, coarsen before altering the phase balance.
