HARIO V60-02 SWITCH Immersion Dripper (200ml/6.76oz)

Made about 30 cups of coffee so far. Never failed to make good coffee with it. The filer that comes with it makes coffee tastes bitter. I bought a bamboo paper filter which brings flavour out more and tastes better.

Makes the hario into a solid consistent brewing device instead of a finicky inconsistent one. Skip the conventional hario and get this

Prior to picking up this new piece of gear I already have been using a Hario v60 drip decanter for many years after receiving it as a gift. I heard a lot of good things about the switch and thought I would give it a try. I am currently only using the switch as my main pourover brewer. In comparison to the decanter it takes up less space and can brew into almost any vessel. I use the switch function quite often and rarely use it as strictly a normal pourover brewer. There are a lot of different combinations on how you can use this brewer, whether it is full immersion, pourover or a hybrid version of partial immersion and partial pourover. You can choose to agitate it to give it a bit more extraction or just let it sit and extract naturally. The possibilities are endless.

This particular model is quite small and if you do full immersion brews it will limit your final cup size to approx 250ml give or take. The cone part is also glass so it requires a good preheat so that you get temperature stability. However with the switch mechanism it is quite easy to just leave water locked in there so that it will heat it up. Personally I would prefer some sort of plastic alternative just for a bit better thermal management and to avoid possibly breaking the glass cone.

Worth a try for anyone that has existing pourover brewers and also for someone's first brewer this would be great as it allows for a lot of different recipe options.

I bought this to replace my Clever Dripper which is made out of plastic. Love that this is made from glass. Makes delicious coffee!

It's surprisingly heavy and solid. I expected it to be just plastic like my regular v60. But this is great! I'm loving it

This full immersion brewer gives great cups consistently.

But if you prefer larger cups gets the 300ml version

The Switch permits one to mix pourover and immersion techniques and makes brewing a great cup of coffee incredibly easy. It’s a must have dripper!
