PS: I changed the title of this post to be super specific because "Hario Switch" might have gotten some unintentional crossover from the Gaming community 😁

I’m pet sure this will be my next gear purchase. I do have a v60 but made the mistake of getting the ceramic version which saps heat way more then a plastic version.

How does it brew compared to a normal v60?

Here is a better angle as requested:

I've got the switch (size 02) and absolutely love it, find myself using it nearly daily. The flexibility it offers for playing with methods is great. My favorite recipe is inspired by the Coffee Chronicler's, that brews as a V60 for the first half and then an immersion brew for the second half.

Recipe below taken from the Chronicler website:

Specs

This recipe can be adapted to work with doses from 15 to 26 grams of coffee and most common brew ratios.
Go for a 1:15 ratio if you have an entry-level conical grinder (such as a Baratza Encore or Hario Skerton).
Adjust to 1:16 or 1:17 if you have a more consistent grinder.

Pouring structure:

❶ 0:00 First pour: 50% total water volume (Open switch)

❷ 0:45 Second pour 50% total water volume (Closed switch)

❸ 2:00 Open the Switch and let it drain

Total brew time = 2.45-3.15.

However, the total brew time can be a bit longer if you’re brewing around the max capacity for this technique (26 g / 400 ml) or are using natural Ethopians.

Came across this a while back and found it interesting. I don't have one myself, but making me think about it. https://youtu.be/gC8K40kZ_6E

I was debating between a Hario Switch and a Clever Dripper as my most recent gear change. I finally went with the Clever since Hario or 3rd party filters are quite expensive here compared to Clever cones which just use a generic Melitta style cone.

I love the mix of immersion and pour over. Really love it for the office. Requires the smallest of amount of my direct time input while providing very good consistent cups of coffee from day to day.

Been wanting one for a while since the Clever Dripper is one of my favorite methods of making coffee. Just not sure they’re different enough to warrant buying.

That looks pretty dope. Can you post a pic(s) from a different angle?

How does it compare to AeroPress? Why do you prefer Hario Switch?

Even more gear. Now I'm wondering how coffee from this is like. Was thinking about a flat bottom for a more bodied flavour vs a V60. Anyone has any comment on how coffee from this will turn out in comparison?
