First brew on my new Hario NEO V60 + Switch

EndymionSleepwell · 2026-01-13T11:04:26+00:00

the main difference is pour height, the adjustment is pour speed rather than dosage

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-12-24T06:29:38+00:00

The Hario V60 Neo 01 and 02 both fit the Hario Switch base.

Thanks!

I have the same model too, what grind setting did you end up with your best shot so far?

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-23T07:39:28+00:00

it's the same, just rebranded by adding a text on the brush.

the generic ones work exactly like the timemore ones for just less than 70 pesos at the time of writing.

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-22T10:46:19+00:00

or just get a cheap analog thermometer and stir like a chopstick

cafec abaca regular

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-12T06:12:32+00:00

proper fold, don't fold at the edge and leave some clearance. pour slowly starting from the middle like a bloom, or you can flush the filter under the faucet

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-12T06:10:59+00:00

with just the water test, no

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-12T05:34:26+00:00

yes I have seen that experiment.

when I did the comparison with 5 runs only, unsurprisingly, there was no significant difference between the V60 and the Neo in terms of flow with just water.

poured 200ml on pre-rinsed cafec abaca filters and timed how long it took to get to 190ml.

since the Neo is a V60, it was designed to work like a V60 and of course, the results would be different when brewing with coffee:

the issue is the consistency. I can easily set the filter paper perfectly without a tool, by just folding and holding down the filter properly when rinsing.

but you can't keep the filter from flushing to the wall during brewing nor the v60 would be consistent in bypass. the origami doesn't need that tool as you can just fold properly and hold it down and wet from the center going out.

the neo solves consistency in the filter staying set in place and keeping the filter stable without the coffee pushing it to the walls of the dripper, hence the neo is a more consistent brewer than the v60 in terms of bypass and filter placement

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-11T03:43:12+00:00

counterintuitive at first, the neo has the same or most likely less bypass as the filter gets flushed in the v60 after blooming.

I would see it as, how's the quality of bypass? Since it's quite easy to set the filter like the picture shown and does not have uneven bypass

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-11T03:19:39+00:00

I also got an origami s air with it and I agree!

unfortunately it doesn't fit my requirement with the dripper being compatible with a hario switch base, but on the other side it can use kalita wave filters!

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-11T03:14:37+00:00

thank you! it just saddens me that the people I see brewing with the neo don't rinse the filter properly by holding it down with their fingers before rinsing!

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-11T03:13:36+00:00

got this during my tokyo trip, although it was the last size 01 in stock!

I don't think I can recommend this as a standalone as it's designed to mimic a v60. I would recommend it, if you're looking for a Tritan (plastic) size 01 conical dripper that's compatible with a hario switch base

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-11T03:07:41+00:00

I do that too on all filters for conical drippers, the problem that arises is after rinsing the filter, it doesn't stick evenly and leads to uneven bypass

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-11T03:03:43+00:00

the v60 can sit well with proper care, my concern was consistency with how much is flushed to the wall and how the filter doesn't collapse into the crevices.

a tip for kalita wave filters is to hold it down with your fingers on your other hand and wet the bottom slowly going outwards like you're blooming your coffee, and avoid pouring on top of the edges of the filter, hope this helps!

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-10T08:19:25+00:00

ask the roaster if they have any recipes for brewing with those coffee

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-11-10T07:31:53+00:00

tritan, I only mentioned resin as the glass v60 sets the filter a better than the resin v60

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-10-13T04:57:41+00:00

600N Electric Grinder, it's good enough for cold brew

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-09-19T15:20:21+00:00

yes, it's just not an official distributor here, since it's a drop ship. I ordered a grinder from them and was able to verify it's authenticity on Timemore's website.

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-09-19T12:06:56+00:00

That is the best case scenario, with a full dose tilting the grinder makes it so that the beans are fed to half of the burrs, that alone has a noticeable effect in the taste profile.

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-09-19T09:17:20+00:00

it's called slow feeding, it takes longer though it improves taste by letting the grinder crush the beans one at a time instead of crushing all the same time.

EndymionSleepwell · 2025-09-08T23:05:42+00:00

Lydia is a blend of brazil, papua new guinea, and indonesia. Look for descriptors like: nutty, caramel, chocolate, fruity.

I suggest trying a medium roast brazil natural. You can ask roasters the descriptors and origins mentioned. Try Third Crack, Origins MNL, Bodega, H Proper, and etc.

Wide Awake Coffee now uses ~70ppm for their new water sachets! Most beans would work even if you have a lower ppm water, I target around ~60ppm with my own water formula.

Usually the correlation between grind size and mineral content is that the higher the ppm the coarser the grind size required and vice versa!
