I thought it might be fun to chat for those who use a Switch. I have one and am going to play with it today. My usual faff free recipe is 15 gms, switch closed, dump 210 mls water in over 30 seconds, wait 2 minutes and draw down over 30 to 40.
I received a bean from Foundry promising bananas and fruity sweets but after one go on the Aiden all I managed was grapefruit which is nice but not on my wanted list! So I messaged Lee for guidance then read his blog which gives the following suggestion for a Switch:
Leaving the valve open, set your timer and pour 150ml of water over the coffee in circles, moving out from the centre and then back. If you don’t have a pouring kettle, aim for a steady pour, taking maybe 10 seconds to pour the water.
At 45 seconds, close the switch valve and add the remaining 150ml of water in the same way as you did with the previous pour
Give the water in the brewer a few gentle swirls to promote a flat bed.
At 2 minutes, open the switch and allow the brew to draw down.
Total brew time should be around 3 - 3.5 minutes. Adjust your grind size until your water has almost entirely dripped through in around that time (there should be no water visible on the surface and no more than one drip each second).
Stir the brew well before serving. Enjoy!
So I wondered what worked for you? I think you can do just about anything as long as it involves pouring suitably hot water onto ground coffee!
