    My favorite Switch recipe is my own "Steep Over": We start with 15g of coffee, switch CLOSED. Slowly pour 50 ml water (1:3.33 ratio) (96-98 degrees), let sit to bloom for 30 seconds, Open the switch and immediately start pouring in another 190ml (for 240 total, 1:16 ratio) Tales single pour style (start slow in middle, slowly circle your way to the outside.). (Optional Tales style stir). Drain. Done. Perfect cup every time.

    Thanks for giving me a reason to go back to the Switch. It was my first pour over device but since I got comfortable with it I have tended to go with standard V60 and Kalita 155 but have been feeling guilty. Excited to give this a run!

    • @TALESCOFFEE
      @TALESCOFFEE  Před rokem

      Haha yeah I think the standard v60 is a little more mmm strong in flavours? Probably because pouring into a dry bed compresses where as this one the buffer makes the impact extremely gentle. Still playing around with it though!

    Interesting how this vid came up, because yesterday, I was thinking about doing exactly this, because I always find it hard to stir in the grounds w/ a full cone in the Stall the Fall method. Just tried this w/ some medium Papua New Guinea washed beans that never tasted good w/ v60 or aeropress. 15g beans ground on Fellow Ode, 260g water @ 95C w/ Cafec Abaca filter (for faster drawdown). After the pour, being careful to saturate the grounds as much as possible, stirred vigorously until everything, including edges fully saturated, opened the switch, and kept stirring until about 1/3 of water remaining. Wow, best cup yet from these beans. Got rid of excessive acidity w/o adding bitterness/astringency... perfect extraction! Pulled out lots of subtle aromas, and had the sweetest finish yet.

    • @TALESCOFFEE
      @TALESCOFFEE  Před rokem

      HEHEHEHEHEE, the excess acidity is generally from having a long brew time. Glad you're enjoying the methods. It's especially great for smaller brew sizes like yours. Though you are using quite a large ratio as long as it's what you enjoy that's great!

    Hey Vince I have been waiting for a video like this! Until now your single pour method has been by far the best technique I have tried, and I’ve been doing pour over for 3 years now!
    I’m going to try with a really fine grind, 99c and light roast because I love a 1:10 ratio with milk. Recently got a 03 switch to brew a 2 cup batch so 40g coffee to 400ml lol. Will report back soon 😄

    • @PorkBelly99
      @PorkBelly99 Před rokem +1

      Ok so that was interesting. I used my usual almost espresso like single pour grind with 100c and it stalled towards the end. The cup was actually still very tasty and well balanced, with more than enough acidity for my liking. I get the feeling like pouring height needs to be just right to get the balance of flavours, so maybe I went a bit too high 🤔 also, I stirred at the end before switching, mistakenly thinking it would drain too fast, but turned out to be the opposite! Will switch then stir like Vince next time.

      @@PorkBelly99 yeah right! So the higher water temp is like a huge agitation impact already, so on top of a higher height pour it could be very mid tier to use both. (And finer grinds)
      I been trying the finer grinds and higher water temp with a low and slow pour. Since the water amount I pour with is low I need to pour slow still but I opted for a lower pour because water temp + finer grinds already make it clog. I’m almost wonder if it’s better to keep the bed flat on this method and then try to expose the grounds to water asap by starting in the middle and moving to edges right away.
      Will test and report back too!

      @PorkBelly99 Před rokem +1

      @@TALESCOFFEE Ok so today I poured lower and slower, and got a much faster draw down. FYI I’m using a fellow stag kettle, so I can’t dump the water in like the Hario, but fine for this type of pour. I went super slow (20secs+) from inside to the edge to let the coffee bloom, and then when I hit the edge speed up a little to push everything down. Unfortunately I think I’m getting a cold so can’t be too objective on flavour and taste atm, but I’m sure the faster draw keeps the overall extraction more even. I’m still not getting the same results as the single pour with the same fine grind I use for that (maybe it is just the ultimate method for light roast), so I’m gonna try dropping the temp tomorrow a little to see if that helps.
      Btw, a little suggestion I learned from James Hoffman, the switch is thick glass and has a high thermal heat capacity, so when I rinse, I actually fill it half way with boiling water and let it sit there while I get my coffee ready, then I drain just before brewing. The glass will absorb a lot of heat, which you would otherwise lose during the actual brew!

    I’ve been using the switch for a while and tweaking my technique by following some of your videos.
    I usually use 12 grs with 225 mL to have around 200mL. The drawdown is longer if you put the coffee first, there is one video that shows the difference but I couldn’t find it.
    As we,common mortals, don’t have a gooseneck kettle (really expensive in Chile) I try to pour the water in 30 seconds, break the crust with a metal chopstick wait 30 seconds. Give a strong swirl (to create the coriolis force that produces the cone at the middle and actually helps to make the solution runs faster) with the chopstick and then press the switch. The average time is 2-2.15 and my coffee tastes great.
    You may believe that the ratio is too low but I’ve “played” with ground size and time till I got the best result with the least use of coffee (also expensive but n my country)

    • @TALESCOFFEE
      @TALESCOFFEE  Před rokem

      Yups Drawdown is longer because having coffee first applies more agitation which causes it to sink/clog faster.
      Ah you don’t have a gooseneck! You should try my stall the fall method! No need for it it works super well! Just use boiling water and add all the water first and then the coffee. Stir until everything sinks and then let it drink!
      As for ratio it’s all preference! I’m glad you’ve found yours at the 12:225!

    You need to do a head to head face-off battle making a cup using the Stall the fall method, Single Pour w/ origami, Single Pour w/ V60 01 and 02, and now the new Glass of God technique, for which one out of all these methods makes the best tasting cup of coffee!!! Keeping all other variables equal such as water temp, coffee beans used, and grind size

    • @TALESCOFFEE
      @TALESCOFFEE  Před rokem

      I’d say probably my favourite is going to be single pour w/01 if I use my buono kettle
      Tbh the glass of gods method is a bit .. “soft” but it’s like at the same time ultra easy to drink. Just super gentle. I would almost say there’s not enough character. But also maybe I should do almost espresso size for this method because of how fast it finishes regardless.
      I’d have to perfect it fkrst

    what is the difference between a flat bed at the end verses a dome at the end of a brew? when to want each?

    • @TALESCOFFEE
      @TALESCOFFEE  Před rokem

      Honestly people think too much about it. I think if you wanted a flat bed you can use my method and then lift and drop the dripper at the end it'll be "flat"
      .
      I think a dome shows at least you stirred to achieve even extraction. It's more about looking at the walls and the type of grounds you have after you finish. I don't like seeing anything super pasty, I like to see the muddy stuff on the walls (preventing side channeling) and those are both when I have a dome.
      .
      Flat beds are generally achieved when you swirl. Swirling I think is bad because it pulls the over extracted microfines off the walls of the paper and brings it into the middle. It unforutnately causes clogging and forces grinds to sink relatively quickly.
      .
      In smaller brews however there's less volume of water in the dripper resulting in a smaller dome or no dome at all. It's more about reading all the other indicators of a good brew.
      .
      So in a TLDR : it doesn't really matter too much to me but I look to see if there's a pasty base vs a grandular one with pasty sides. And if the colours of the foam have sank to the bottom with the grounds!
      .
      Hope this essay .. makes sense haha

    • @zqzj
      @zqzj Před rokem +2

      Yes, coffee will peak in flavor about 5 days after roasting. After that, it will start losing its essence. If pre-ground, it will deteriorate much faster than whole bean. I stopped buying coffee from local markets. I found a roaster near me that roasts fresh batches daily.

    • @TALESCOFFEE
      @TALESCOFFEE  Před rokem

      It unfortunately does, I don’t mind when people buy ground coffee because at least I know my grind sizes will be consistent. It’s also more friendly to tell people it doesn’t matter too too much. Obviously though you’d much prefer grinding fresh but if you can’t let’s not make a big deal out of it for now! Improve as we go!

    • @TALESCOFFEE
      @TALESCOFFEE  Před rokem

      Yups! Fresh ground is best. I think it’s hard to really tell from 5-45 days .. at least if it’s not ground. I do know many people suggest letting coffee sit for 2-3 weeks before brewing too .. idk why I think it’s all the same 😅
      I can see less gases the longer I let it sit. But I think overall it’s just a pouring skill difference. If you use a different technique to manage your gases 5 days and 25 day roast should taste almost identical

It's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but it produces a beautiful cup of drip coffee, and there's no need to hold back the brew from flowing. I take my tap water and run it through a distiller and then I run it through charcoal filters and then I add minerals back in. I then take that water and pour it into a Pyrex measuring cup and put it in the microwave until it's heated to 110°. When you pour it over the coffee, the coffee instantly creates nucleation sites and the water immediately boils off until it reaches just under 100°, and all the CO2 is expedited out of the grounds with no need for blooming. Try it, and let me know what you think. Wear heat insulated gloves when handling super heated water!!! For filtration I use the Hario Double Mesh Metal Coffee Dripper size #2, with out any paper.
