easy! Authentic drip HARIO immersion type dripper switch

 
When you hear "hand drip", many people may have a somewhat difficult image.
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration such as how to pour hot water, how to use a pot, and how to brew, so I think many people don't feel like trying hand drip brewing at home.

But I want to enjoy authentic coffee at home!
For such people, the ``HARIO immersion dripper switch'' is recommended.
Just pour hot water and press the switch after the set time has passed, and you can easily enjoy the authentic taste.
This article introduces the ``HARIO immersion dripper switch''.

The charm of HARIO immersion dripper switch

The appeal of the HARIO switch is that anyone can easily extract a uniform and clear taste.
Why is it possible to extract a "uniform and clear taste"?
In order to tell you the secret, let me first tell you a little about the ``immersion method'' that is also included in the name of the product.

The immersion method is an extraction method in which coffee grounds are soaked in hot water for a certain period of time, and then the extract is released all at once by opening the extraction port. The appeal is that anyone can easily brew a stable cup of coffee because it can be extracted without considering the extraction method such as the pouring speed or the thickness of the hot water.
A famous and typical brewing method is using a device called a French press.

So, what is the decisive difference in taste between HARIO Switch and French Press?
Simply put, the HARIO switch allows you to extract clearer flavor.

The dripper part of the HARIO Switch is made of exactly the same structure as the popular dripper HARIO V60. As a result, anyone can easily brew a cup with a finish close to the ``clear flavor that allows you to enjoy the original flavor of the brand,'' which is the characteristic of paper drip.

Even with a French press, it is possible for anyone to easily achieve a uniform taste, but it will still produce the characteristic graininess and rough taste of a French press (coffee oil is the most attractive feature of the French press). but!). From this point of view, a major feature of HARIO Switch is that anyone can easily achieve a uniform and clear taste.

How to use HARIO immersion dripper switch

It's extremely easy to use.
Place a paper filter in a dripper placed on a server, etc., add coffee grounds, and pour hot water to the top of the dripper. After that, just let it soak for about 2 minutes, press the switch after 2 minutes, and wait for the extract to drain completely.
 


You don't need anything special.
Anyone can easily make authentic-tasting coffee by simply adding coffee grounds and pouring hot water.

I also find it useful on busy mornings.
It's been about 7 years since I've been making coffee as a job (I've also worked as a barista), and I'm proud that I've been able to make a decent amount of coffee, and I'm fairly satisfied with the drip coffee I brew myself. . However, it still requires a great deal of concentration to extract the same taste every day.
 
In that respect, this HARIO switch maximizes the structural advantages of a semi-automatic system, which surprisingly gives it a taste that cannot be underestimated.
In conclusion, the result is a clearer and more balanced flavor than just brewing with hand drip.
When you're busy and want to make a quick brew while doing other things, this dripper is perfect!

Of course, the actual extraction begins with determining the barometric pressure, temperature, and condition of the scooped beans on each day. The attitude of aiming for the ultimate in hand drip brewing is like a puzzle in which we consider the various conditions and consider how we can get closer to ``the best cup of the day.'' In other words, the true way to create the ``best'' drip coffee is not to set a recipe that requires how many seconds to steam and how many minutes to brew, but rather to subtly control the necessary elements for optimal daily extraction. think.

However, this does not necessarily mean that such a Shin extraction always makes for the ``best'' coffee.
In other words, if you try to fine-tune such a subtle element, it will often sway in the opposite direction and result in a big failure.
In that sense, this HARIO switch does not have much of that fluctuation.
In other words, although it is not possible to extract a perfect score of 100 points based on the potential of the bean, it is possible to consistently achieve an extraction score of 80 points or higher.

And I think there is some know-how to use this HARIO switch as well.
I am thinking of publishing them as articles in the future, but first I would like to introduce them as easy-to-use drippers that are hard to miss.

This brewing device is recommended not only for those who want to try making authentic coffee at home, but also for those who want to easily brew regular coffee and those who want to maintain a stable taste.
