Small world!

Hey, I just saw someone post desktop bg of this on a different community.

Funny, had no idea something like this was planned, I just played the original again a month or two ago. Always appreciated the style and humor of the game.

Exactly the recipe I was going to share! It’s a solid base and versatile: I play around with the number of pours before the immersion brew, how many grams are poured over versus held in the immersion, and how long the immersion is. I personally prefer a shorter immersion than the recipe, typically around 45s, but it really boils down to personal preference.

You may be on to something, my first reaction to seeing this post was to think “augh, again?”

I’ve got the switch (size 02) and absolutely love it, find myself using it nearly daily. The flexibility it offers for playing with methods is great. My favorite recipe is inspired by the Coffee Chronicler’s, that brews as a V60 for the first half and then an immersion brew for the second half.

Recipe below taken from the Chronicler website:

Specs

This recipe can be adapted to work with doses from 15 to 26 grams of coffee and most common brew ratios.
Go for a 1:15 ratio if you have an entry-level conical grinder (such as a Baratza Encore or Hario Skerton).
Adjust to 1:16 or 1:17 if you have a more consistent grinder.

Pouring structure:

❶ 0:00 First pour: 50% total water volume (Open switch)

❷ 0:45 Second pour 50% total water volume (Closed switch)

❸ 2:00 Open the Switch and let it drain

Total brew time = 2.45-3.15.

However, the total brew time can be a bit longer if you’re brewing around the max capacity for this technique (26 g / 400 ml) or are using natural Ethopians.

Here’s a few I’ve saved over time, all variations on the same thing. Unfortunately I haven’t saved the sources alongside them: apologies to the creator as I know at least one of them was made by someone on Reddit

I was going to say this. Please don’t support civet coffee. It’s an industry that does deserve to collapse.

Awesome! Condensed milk will definitely help cover up the worst of it. Have fun dialing in!

How was it? Makes me think of something like an orea or fellow stag, though I imagine it’s just a metal filter at the bottom?

The Lagom Mini seems to be well-liked and generally recommended.
