I brewed 2 or 3 cups in the regular size 2 V60 at grind setting 4 initially, and they were perfectly fine, but grind 5 with the Switch (per above) seems to yield slightly smoother cups. As with most Indonesian coffees I’ve brewed, it works well with a coarser grind, and draws down quickly. Going forward, I might consider using setting 5 on the Ode as a starting point for Indonesian beans. Also, as is typical of darker roasts, it seems best at a somewhat strong ratio.
