AeroPress

Switch Hybrid

Open in app

Fairul Azonan's upright AeroPress adaptation borrows the Hario Switch valve idea and Tetsu Kasuya's split-pour logic. Alternating immersion and percolation across two water temperatures aims for a floral, fruity, structured cup.

Notes

Favor a light-to-medium Ethiopian coffee with fruit and floral potential. Pour the first 120g at 90°C, cool the kettle, and use 70°C water for the final 120g. Seat the plunger firmly to halt dripping, then lift it cleanly when drainage should resume.

Grinder

Medium — about 44 clicks on a Mischief M40.
