Mission objectives are simple:
-> Deploy hybrid brewing
-> Keep the drawdown fast
-> Adjust the grind
-> Maintain Thermal stability

With what I had, added V60 Neo to my Switch base, using Abaca filters and grinding with ZP6.

Just one detour- have to give add a small fold at the bottom of the filter so that the Switch ball stopper does not interferes with the filter and push it up.

Outcome: Yet to be seen. I’m planning to try most of my available coffees with same recipe as regular Switch, just with adjusted finer grind size. If I do find some differences with fast drawdown, will experiment further…

UPDATE: I noticed in the picture I folded it the wrong way there. You should ideally fold at bottom first and then along the tabbed line so that it won’t unfold while brewing. Sorry, I uploaded wrong picture.

Luna comes from our beloved Daniel Bermudez’s Finca El Paraiso, showcases Bermudez’s signature floral fermentation character in a balanced, approachable way without going overboard. The acidity from the blueberry is also well rounded.

Some of my previously tasted memorable coffees were also from Bermudez like Letty and Villa Rosita. This one while not as elegant, still proved itself worth the price tag.

IMO ZP6 and similar class grinders like Pietro are the best grinders to accentuate the nuances of our beloved floral coffee.

I tried the Mogra with my K6 too and while the body was fuller but the bitterness kinda played with my mind where the aroma was not matching the flavour. ZP6 (also the Abaca filters to the credit) really makes this coffee shine.

Couldn’t put a finger on what I was really craving today so went with a specialty coffee - Colombian Villa Rosita from Archers.

The peachy fermented notes from the aroma fills the whole kitchen and the vanilla finish is to d!e for.

The whole reason I got is coffee imported was that it smells and tastes so much closer to my favourite Onyx Jairo Arcila Lychee which is an archived product as of now. If you know someone coming from Dubai or yourself going there, please order this bean and let me know how you liked it ❤️
