■ Supported Methods

【4:6 Method】

・Adjust flavor balance (sweet to bright) with a slider
・Control strength by changing the number of pours (1–3)
・Customize steaming (bloom) time

【New Hybrid Method】
Combines percolation and immersion using a switch dripper (e.g., HARIO Switch).

・Auto water temperature by roast level (light, medium, dark)
・Dripper open/close state displayed per step
・Fine-tune temperatures manually

【Custom Method】
Create your own original recipes from scratch.
