I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!
There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What’s your brew method of the day/week?
I’m using clever dripper for my manual brew, enjoying coffee bean from West Java, Indonesia. Still pulling a double shot once awhile, just when I need a (stronger) quick fix.
Either the Clever or the Hario Switch will likely be my next purchase. It just seems like a fun new way to make coffee, and the cleanup also seems particularly easy.
I’ve tried both. The Switch made of glass, quite heavy, and you can lost heat during the immersion phase. However, it uses the V60 paper filter, hence will “forces” the water to flow through all of the coffee ground. Cleaning the Switch also a little bit tricky, there are more “hidden” spaces near it’s bottom in the silicon base, so you need to remove, occasionally, the glass cone and give a thorough rinse.
The Clever, on the other hand, made of non-bpa plastic. It light, and heat loss will be less. I bought the 2-cups version, not the large, older model. It uses flat-bottom filter paper, so the coffee bed will be evenly spread. Cleaning also easy, just rinse using warm water.
If you a V60 die hard, use the Switch. Otherwise, I recommend the Clever.
I appreciate the feedback. I do absolutely love my v60, but also always looking for new and interesting ways to make coffee. You have definitely given me more to consider. Thank you!
