V60 Switch Immersion Dripper 02

“I am not the right person to ask this 😆 I keep switching between Hario Mugen, Neo, Switch (Switch +v60 Switch + Mugen, Switch + Neo), Orea V4 and its 4 bases, Aeropress, Cafec deep 27.”

“I do the opposite. Hoffman or Tetsu 5-pour recipe, but with the bloom as immersion, and then percolation for the the rest. The immersion bloom phase makes channelling all but impossible”

“Yea, my preheating is just leaving the lever closed when rinsing the filter haha Got some wide mugs that I had for years that actually are able to fit the switch on top :)”

“Started off with only a French Press due to life situations. Moved to V60 when i could, eventually got a switch. Now the French press is for teas and the V60 or Switch cover everything else.”

“Regarding the cleaning issue - do you have a dishwasher? If you remove the ball and switch, the rest is dishwasher safe. That may help with your cleaning issue.”

“The biggest fear is having that tiny stainless steel ball go down your drain. I keep trying to remember that I should probably get some calipers and measure it so I can get a replacement at a hardware store in case that happens.”

“But to your first question, the main difference for me is the capacity. The Switch is 300mls with the water topping the filter & threatening to spill! The Clever is closer to 500mls (which can get cool quite quickly if it's for one person).”

“So yeah, Seems like its the paper filter issue. And I guess these filters are no good for immersion, too, as its hard to predict whether they are going to be slow or not. I Wonder what actually happens with the fibers there while preheating :)”

“Additionally, the glass funnel is just a standard glass v60, so if you want to be able to brew even more than 300g and cant find the 03 size switch or maybe just aren't sure, you can always buy a much cheaper glass 03 v60 and swap out the funnel.”

“If you want to try the switch again, IMO the Coffee Chronicler hybrid recipe is better than the Tetsu recipe.”

“I don’t have any sort of evidence to back up my theory, but I wonder if it is an interaction between the paper fibers and the full water immersion you’re using to pre-heat, rather than the ball/chamber under the bottom of the cone causing a slower drawdown?”

“I use my Switch as an ordinary V60, but preheating is easier because of the valve.”

“Tanat est excellent mais cher. Terres de café est bon aussi, a pas mal augmenté ses prix cette année. Sur Paris tu as d'autres trucs et tu peux surtout aller tester à quoi ressemblent les cafés en allant tester en boutique ce que tu es censé avoir. En commande DAK est excellent.”

“Closed Switch 02, add 250g of boiling water (no need to measure the temp as it will drop to cca 94c almost immediately, nor the amount of water as that is almost completely full Switch). Add 15g of medium ground coffee (well, you should measure this :). Stir stir stir. Turn on the stopwatch.”

“Recipes also depend a lot on personal taste. I prefer light roast coffees, but I don't care too much for their tea-like properties so I sacrifice some clarity for more body and well-rounded sweetness by going pure immersion with the Switch. I use a modified version of Tales' Stall the Fall recipe.”

“I definitely did that switch thing too. But worse, I was totally thrown by the fact that down is open and up is closed. The first time I brewed it, I brewed open accidentally all over my coffee scale. And yeah, you'd need to draw down your bloom before closing to get 350. I find that 300 was basically the limit”

“I just started with a Switch and my cups are nowhere what I get of my moka pot. Now with the moka, I have a year of daily experience now and my coffee has just in recent weeks began to take a qualitative leap to everything I've made before. I'm finally getting the hang of all the minutiae about that brewing device.”
