HARIO"Switch" Immersion Dripper Set, Size 02

This Hario Switch Dripper makes an excellent cup of coffee and is less laborious than the drip machine that makes a lot of coffee then burns it (sigh). My awesome drip machine died way too early from it's purchase... not worth it... not taking a chance on that again. Getting rid of the horrible cheap drip machine and Hario's Switch Dripper is it! It works flawlessly, did not cost a small fortune and honestly, I'd rather have 1 or 2 cups of awesome coffee in the AM than the burnt crap that comes from the drip machine or spending $300 plus on something that was not made to last.

Traditional v60 recipes work great in this with no perceived difference from the plain brewer, and but the real fun is mixing it up with part immersion part percolation hybrid recipes. Great price, nice little beaker/cup to go along with it.

The Hario switch is the easiest way to brew a quality cup of coffee.

I've been making pour over for the last five years. I was recently trying to design my one valve for the pour over when I found the "Switch" made by Hario. The Hario Switch works flawlessly. The coffee grounds get saturated like a French press but filtered into the cup. Deep rich flavor every time. I have had pour overs in fancy coffee shops in the Bay Area and the switch does it for me at home. Great product!

I don't readily have anything to compare this to, as I'm generally an espresso person. I had this stashed in the drawer after I failed miserably thrice. I pulled it out a random Sunday and guessed a number up on my grinder. It was among the most memorably good cups of coffee I've ever had. Getting it right, this thing is fantastic. Quality is good. Ib like it a lot. Pretty refined piece of equipment in a mass produced 'package'. Thoroughly thought out.

I used to be a chem ex person until I got tired of my negative experiences with them which includes the product being poorly produced. Since switching to the Hario V60 switch I've enjoyed my experience and versatility including pour over straight into travel mugs, steeping tea, etc. worth the investment for home baristas

Which technique is worthwhile. Give it a try. You can also do more Hoffman's or other V60 brewing as well as immersion brewing a la Clever Dripper. Note that the brewing chamber is heavy glass and the unit is, overll, top-heavy, especially when placed on a lighter vessel. So, be careful not to knock it over as the morning fog lifts, if you see what I mean.Note also that the mechanism controlling the flow is a tad fragile. It doesn't easily break, although I have seen people buying the lever for this online. Instead, it can become disengaged, requiring carefully re-placing it. In the older versions of this brewer, the little stainless steel ball was not secured and could become lost. In the present version, this has been addressed and is not a problem.I had been thinking of getting the Hario Suiren brewer for the aesthetics of it, but this brewer, if less of an art piece, offers actual variances of brewing technique and therefore I opted for this instead. Check out the Suiren here inc case it might be more of your cup of (ahem) tea:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D3GR3YZX?smid=A3TCNCNGLOHBSA&psc=1

I’ve been using this since June 2024, and overall, it works well. I recommend it.That said, there’s one small issue. The open/close switch can disconnect during a wash, and it’s not easy to reattach. While it looks simple, there’s no guide or alignment feature to help snap it back into place. It usually takes me around 15 minutes of fiddling to get it right. Every time it comes loose, it’s a frustrating delay.Still, despite this flaw, the product performs as expected once it’s up and running.
