Switch

Got a Hario Switch after inconsistent regular V60 and C40 results.

“I recently got a V60 Switch which is conceptually the same as the Clever dripper.”

Uses a plastic V60 for pour-over days and a Switch for experimenting and hybrid methods.

“you could totally use the switch open as a regular V60. But picking up a plastic V60 is pretty cheap so I have both.”

Bought a plastic V60 02 and a Switch 02 and has shifted entirely to the Switch for its low-fuss hybrid immersion method.

“I bought a plastic 02 and and a switch 02 last and have shifted entirely to the switch.”

A month into their Switch and really enjoying it, slowly using it as a normal V60.

“I bought a switch around a month ago and I am really enjoying it.”

Likes their Switch better than their plastic V60 as a simpler brew method, a good alternative to the moka pot.

“I just got the switch a month ago and i like it better than my plastic v60”

Owns a ceramic V60 and a Switch and would keep only the Switch if they had to choose.

“If I could only have one, it would be the switch.”

Started with a plastic V60 then got a Switch, which they mostly use V60-style without noticing a difference.

“I started off using a plastic V60 and eventually got a Switch. I mostly brew V60-style with the Switch”

Had very erratic brews with the V60 and regrets not getting the Switch first.

“As a newbie having had very erratic brews with the V60, I regret not getting the Switch first”

Finds the Switch feels the same as their plastic V60 apart from needing to preheat the glass.

“It feels the same to me. The biggest difference between the two for me is the pre heating. My regular V60 is plastic and my switch is glass”

After a cafe used the Switch 'stall the fall' method, bought one and now all their cups are great and less bitter.

“I bought a hario switch and now all my cups are great. So much less bitter.”

Their ZP6 and Hario Switch setup is amazing and forgiving, though they haven't mastered V60 technique.

“ZP6 + Hario Switch is my brew setup and it’s amazing, as well as forgiving.”

They prefer their glass Hario Switch to their plastic Clever Dripper, and it doubles as a pour-over cone.

“i have both, and i prefer the hario switch, since it’s made of glass”

Their Switch didn't beat their dialed-in V60, so they went back.

“I bought the switch and tried the recipe…. I went straight back to the V60.”

Their Switch collects dust; they prefer percolation on a V60.

“My switch is there collecting dust while I daily my V60.”

Their Switch is easy and quick for early mornings.

“Easy and quicker with the brain switched off for me at least.”

Their Switch went into the cabinet; they went back to the V60.

“I've put the switch into the cabinet with the other coffee stuff "I thought I need but don't" and went back to the V60.”

Their Switch is the one brewer they'd keep.

“if I could only keep one brewer it would still be the switch.”

They like their Switch for cheaper darker beans, but the glass is a pain to preheat.

“I'm still liking my Switch as having immersion is handy for darker cheaper beans”

Their Switch is beginner-friendly but handles advanced recipes.

“the switch is super beginner friendly but will still work well when he wants to try more advanced recipes.”

Their first pour-over brewer, the Switch, was the right choice.

“Hario Switch is my FIRST pourover coffee device, i think i made the right choice and have no need to try anything else”

The plastic lever on their Switch broke.

“I broke my plastic switch lever so I bought the Foundry version.”

Their new Switch 03 works great.

“Just got a Hario switch 03 for Christmas and a bought a used Delonghi ECP3420 espresso machine for $40. All work great.”

Their Switch is their one pick: universal and near-guaranteed tasty cups for guests.

“if I had just one pick, it would be the switch. It’s so universal”

Their Hario Switch is the one brewer they would keep; open it's a V60 and closed it adds options.

“If i had to only choose 1 brewer to keep out of everything i have it'd probably be my hario switch.”

Their recently bought Hario Switch is working out great so far.

“I recently bought a Hario Switch and so far it's working out great.”

They keep their Hario Switch routine simple, finishing closed, and love their coffee.

“Another vote for Hario switch. I do my last ~75 ml “closed” (immersion) for about 30 seconds”

Their Switch 03 makes simple full-immersion brews with no bloom, which is where it shines.

“This is where the Switch is so good as a brewer.”

Their V60 Switch is simple and much more forgiving than a standard V60.

“I like the v60 switch - just fill it up, wait 90 seconds, push the button. So much more forgiving than a standard v60.”

Immersion on their Switch is always super clear and bright and is their favorite recipe.

“The immersion on the switch is always super clear and bright so it ends up being probably my favorite of the three”

They love their Hario Switch for combining immersion and percolation.

“I love my hario switch because its both!”

Since getting a Hario Switch, their V60s and AeroPress go unused.

“got the Hario Switch and my V60s and Aeropress are gathering dust.”

They can't complain about their Hario Switch for light fermented coffees.

“I got a switch for my pour over set and I can’t complain.”

Their glass Switch is their second most-used brewer after years of use.

“Been enjoying my glass switch for a few years now!”

Their Switch is great for learning different brew methods.

“The Switch is great, I learned a lot using a switch because you can try different brews methods”

They have broken two Hario Switch glass cones since June because it is top heavy.

“The thing is so top heavy and I’m too clumsy I guess.”

They find their Hario Switch versatile and forgiving compared with a V60.

“the switch is so versatile and forgiving”

Great coffee from the start with their Hario Switch, even with a basic kettle.

“even with just a tea kettle I had great coffee from the get go with a Hario switch.”

They miss the brightness from their Switch after breaking its glass cone.

“I somehow missed that brightness in the cup that I used to get in the switch”

Their Hario Switch is the most versatile and forgiving dripper they own using the hybrid method.

“I think it's the most versatile dripper. It's definitely more forgiving.”

The Switch is their main brewer because they love its flexibility.

“the Switch is what I use, as I love the flexibility.”

Their Hario Switch is flexible and easy, replacing their French press.

“It allows a lot of flexibility and ease of use. I virtually never use my french press anymore.”

They keep coming back to their Hario Switch while traveling.

“keep coming back to the Switch employing the “stall the fall” recipe.”

Enjoying their Hario Switch, which makes a couple of cups easily.

“Right now am using the Hario switch and enjoying it.”

Having tried many pour-overs, they find the Hario Switch the dummy-proof sweet spot.

“The switch: V60 filter, grind your coffee, brew it, and enjoy. Its dummy proof”

Their daily Hario Switch took a while to dial in but they enjoy the process.

“My daily driver is a Hario V60 Switch/Baratza Virtuoso+. Took awhile but I dialed it in and I enjoy the whole process.”

Has really enjoyed their Hario Switch for the extra control and great coffee.

“I’ve really enjoyed my hario switch if you want another level of control. Can make som great coffee”

Loves their Hario Switch, their daily brewer, for its control and modifiability.

“Personally I love the switch. I like the extra control, and the ability to modify it a bit.”

Likes their Hario Switch for its flexibility: any V60 paper, immersion when needed, and dripless in their camper van.

“part of why I like the Switch—it’s incredibly flexible.”

Replaced a Clever with a Hario Switch and likes its flexibility.

“I used it as an excuse to buy a hario switch instead of another clever and I like the flexibility it gives me.”

Regrets buying the size 02 Switch because it can't brew 300 ml in one go.

“Yeah, it was definitely a mistake getting the 02 size of the switch.”

Uses the ceramic Hario Switch daily and finds it great, with almost no plastic in contact with the coffee.

“the Hario Switch Ceramic is a great piece of equipment that I use daily.”

Moved from a ceramic V60 to a glass size 03 Switch and would start with it again, partly for easier pre-warming.

“I had a ceramic 02 V60 and got a glass 03 switch. If I started again it’s how I would start”

Finds the Switch great and very flexible for pour-over, immersion and hybrid recipes.

“Switch is a great offering, super flexible. You can do both pourover, immersion and hybrid.”

Moved to the Hario Switch after inconsistent flat-bottom pour overs: a little less clarity, but consistent cups, easy dialing in, and more enjoyable.

“the cups are consistently consistent. It’s way easier to dial in beans and get to something tasty quickly, and I enjoy the process a whole lot more.”

Loves their Hario Switch for its repeatability.

“I love my Switch because of its repeatability.”

The Hario Switch gave them good coffee easily, a nice set of training wheels after struggling with the V60.

“Switch. Actually good coffee easy, and a nice set of training wheels”

Really enjoyed their Hario Switches, though they produce a very different cup and they've broken two.

“Really enjoyed my switches as well but they produce a very different cup and I have broken two of them now”

Frustration with pour-over led them to the Hario Switch, which opened up immersion brewing for them.

“initial frustration with pour-over led to my discovery of the Hario Switch, which opened a whole new world of immersion.”

Never went back after immersion brewing in their Switch: slightly less clarity, but an idiot-proof way to make really good coffee.

“Once I started immersion brewing in my switch, I never went back.”

Has both a Timemore B75 and a Hario Switch and prefers the Switch every time once their technique improved.

“I've had b75 and Hario switch. Prefer the switch every single time.”

Has more than 15 drippers and still uses the Switch 99% of the time; says it can be anyone's only dripper.

“I lost count at 15 drippers and still use my Switch 99% of the time.”

Their glass Switch stalls constantly with light roasts, especially Ethiopians, where their plastic V60 01 doesn't.

“My switch stalls al the time with light roasts beans. Ethiopians especially are almost impossible.”

After 1.5 years with an AeroPress XL they got a size 03 Switch, and their third cup with it beat anything from the AeroPress.

“My third coffee with the switch was better than any coffee I made with the aeropress.”

With 12+ brewing methods the Switch is usually their daily driver, mostly used like a normal V60.

“I have 12+ ways to brew(I kinda stopped counting) and the Switch is usually my daily driver”

Their first brewer was a Switch, but the switch was one variable too many for a beginner and they rarely used it; a plain V60 would have been better.

“I bought the switch as my first brewer. For me that switch was anouther variable and I was already a bit overwhelmed with it all without it.”

Their ceramic Switch is consistent but rarely gives a wow cup and is always beaten by their Kalitas and Weber Bird.

“Hario Switch Ceramic I almost never get a "wow" brew from it. It's consistent, but always beat out by my Kalita's and Weber Bird.”
