In this episode, I dive deep into my experience with the Hario Mugen Switch, a coffee brewer that has completely changed my perspective on pour-over brewing. I share my journey from first trying the regular Mugen dripper to discovering the switch version, and why I believe this $35 brewer might be the best pour-over option available today. I explain the unique design features that set it apart, particularly the lack of traditional ridges found on standard V60 brewers, and how this seemingly simple difference creates consistently sweeter, more forgiving cups of coffee. I also discuss the versatility of the Mugen Switch, demonstrating how it breaks many of the rigid rules we often follow in coffee brewing.

By listening to this episode, you'll learn why the Mugen Switch produces sweeter coffee than traditional pour-over methods, how to experiment with grind sizes more freely without risking bitter or under-extracted brews, and why this affordable brewer might be the perfect tool to help you focus less on perfect technique and more on actually tasting and enjoying your coffee. I'll also share my working recipe and explain the key differences between the Mugen Switch and other popular brewers like the standard V60 Switch.
