minimum dose size?

Jan 31, 2024 |

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Hario switch immersion hybrid method for volumes larger than 500 mL?

I really have been enjoying my Hario switch size 03 lately using a method similar to the clever brewer method James Hoffmann covered, but I’m looking for a way to brew a larger volume with similar results. My current method:

  1. Hario V60 filters rinsed with water just off boil with switch closed until the brewer heats up. Discard the rinse water.
  2. Add 300 grams water to brewer with switch closed.
  3. Add 19 gram freshly ground coffee.
  4. Stir just enough to wet grounds.
  5. Immersion brew for two minutes.
  6. Break the surface to let grounds settle. After 20-30 seconds, open the switch and let the brewer drain entirely.

The immersion brewing aspect of this really makes the method foolproof. Very little need to dial-in and if I forget about it and let it run too long before draining it still turns out great.

How can I best adapt this method to 600-900 mL while still retaining the foolproof and effortless aspects of my current method? Three options I’m considering:

A, pour over then immersion: Perform steps 1- 4 with the full amount of coffee. Add as much water as the brewer can hold, stir, then open the switch. Brew in pour over mode with the switch open until all the water is delivered with a full brewer. Close the switch and the proceed with immersion brewing for 2 minutes (steps 5-6).

B, immersion then pour over: Perform steps 1-5 with the full amount of coffee and the max water that the brewer will allow. Open with switch and add the remaining water in pour over mode.

C, double immersion: Perform steps 1-6 with the full amount of coffee and half the total water. After the first half of water drains, repeat with the second half.

I’m shying away from B, because the water in the brewer will cool down and cause the second water addition to not be as hot.

Any reason to be worried about over/under extraction with A or C?
