When to brew it
A dependable first Switch brew. Rinse the paper with the valve open, discard the rinse water, then close the valve before starting.
Why it works
The closed valve keeps the water in contact with all the coffee for a two-minute steep; opening it produces a filtered finish.
Step by step
15 g coffee and 250 g water. Weights are the total on the scale. The quoted line is what Pour says out loud at that moment.
- 50 g
Bloom, switch closed
With the valve closed, wet all the grounds to 50 g, then rest to 0:30.

Fill to 250
Keep the switch closed and pour to 250 g. Cover if you have a lid.
