Hario immersion dripper SWITCH - a trusty coffee gear

Flick the switch for fantastic drip coffee

The Hario Immersion Dripper SWITCH combines immersion and percolation to give you the best of both worlds. It is a trusty coffee dripper that enables anyone to brew a robust cup of coffee, without worrying about getting a muddy layer of coffee grounds in the cup. The magic — a valve that closes while the coffee steeps, and opens when you flick the switch. You can even use the SWITCH as a V60 for a pour over coffee by keeping the valve released. Follow this super easy recipe for your daily coffee fix!

Brew with immersion dripper SWITCH

Ingredients

Immersion dripper coffee tips

      • 11 to 12 for Baratza Encore 
  • For filter roast, brew with hot water just off the boil. For espresso roast, allow hot water to cool for 3 to 5 mins before brewing.

Zen

Roast: Espresso Roast
Region: Guatemala & Colombia
Processing: Washed
Varietal: Castillo, Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon, Typica
Elevation: 1400 – 2100 MASL

 

About This Coffee

Farmers of the Guatemala coffee were a group of vegetables growers, planting garlic, onion, potatoes and tomatoes, before they started growing coffee. On the other hand, farmers of the Colombia coffee reside in a region with a turbulent history of political instability. No matter the circumstances, life goes on, with coffee. Just like the name of this coffee blend – Zen.

 

Versatile for anything espresso-based, Zen coffee blend is curated with balanced acidity and body in mind, to give a harmonious cup. Nothing fanciful, nothing superfluous. In other words, it’s a classic and modest coffee that helps you keep calm, and carry on.

Power

About This Coffee

This specialty coffee from Sul de Minas is produced by Periera’s generational coffee families. The fertile soil, high elevation and mild temperature make Sul de Minas the perfect environment for Arabica coffee plants to thrive and flower.

 

However, with climate change taking a toll, the share of land suited for growing coffee in the Minas Gerais region could potentially decline from 75% to 20%. As such, this regional selection was carefully chosen based on two crucial factors: The unique flavour profile, as well as the producers’ commitment to insuring the region’s future ecological harmony and sustainable livelihoods.
