Ole Bøen Switch

Hario Switch 02 Hario switch by Hario

2020 Norwegian Brewers Cup Champion Ole Kristian Bøen's Hario Switch recipe. A hybrid immersion-percolation method that alternates between closed and open valve to combine the body of immersion with the clarity of pour-over.

Notes

Unlike a standard Switch — closed to steep, opened once to drain — Bøen's method reopens and recloses the valve mid-brew. The move people miss is closing it again for the final pour: skip it and the last immersion never happens, and the body it builds is lost.
