Hybrid / Switch: Control Meets Balance

The Hybrid (or Switch) method combines immersion and pour-over in one brewer. By controlling when the coffee flows, you get the clarity of pour-over with the depth of immersion.
It’s a method for those who want more control,  without overcomplicating the process.

What You’ll Need

• Hybrid / Switch brewer (Hario Switch)
• Coffee (medium grind)
• Kettle
• Scale (recommended)
• Filter

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

1. Choose Your Coffee

• Start with fresh, quality beans. If you’re not sure where to begin, explore our selection and find what fits your taste.
• A medium grind works best — similar to pour over, but slightly coarser if you want more clarity.

2. Heat Your Water

• Heat water to 90–96°C (195–205°F).

3. Prepare the Filter

• Place the filter in your brewer and rinse it with hot water. Discard the rinse water.

4. Add Coffee

• Add your ground coffee to the brewer.
• Use a ratio of 1:15 (1 gram of coffee to 15 grams of water).

5. Start with Immersion

• Close the switch to stop the flow.
• Pour all your water in and let the coffee steep evenly.
• Let it sit for about 1–2 minutes.

6. Release

• Open the switch and allow the coffee to drain through the filter.
• No need to rush , let gravity do the work.

7. Serve

• Once the water has fully passed through, remove the brewer.

Enjoy the Process

No need to force it.

There’s a moment for control,  and a moment to let go.

Let it be what it is.

Coffee always wins.
