Style
For my daily coffee routine, I love using the V60 switch due to its control and simplicity. The hybrid between immersion and drip brewing offers the best of both worlds: full-bodied coffee with the clarity of a pour-over.
The Method
The V60 switch allows you to bloom the coffee and let it steep for a while before flipping the switch to finish the brew. This method emphasizes sweetness and balances flavors.
Recipe
- Coffee: 18g of medium-ground beans
- Water: 300ml at 94°C
- Brew time: 3-4 minutes
- Ratio: 1:16
Step-By-Step
- Preheat the V60 switch and your cup.
- Add 18g of coffee, ground slightly coarser than table salt.
- Pour 50ml of water to bloom, stir gently, and wait for 45 seconds.
- Slowly pour the remaining 250ml of water over 2 minutes.
- Flip the switch after 2-3 minutes to let the coffee flow into the cup.
Tuning
You can adjust the grind size to control the strength and clarity of your brew. A finer grind will intensify flavors, while a coarser grind will give you a cleaner cup. Experiment with brew times for different coffee profiles.
