I got a Hario Switch a few weeks ago and, honestly, I wasn’t sure where it was going to fit in between my Chemex on the one side for large, slow brews and my Aeropress on the other for quick, single dose fixes. But the Switch has fast become my favourite coffee brewer.
I have not seen much mention of it so I thought I would give it a shout out on here to see if there were any fans and techniques to be shared.
I opted for the 03 off the bat so I had plenty of room for immersion and, having used it now, I don’t really see how the smaller size would work satisfactorily so - if you are curious - definitely get the 03.
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?
I use one (size 2) daily, and heat it / rinse the filter paper with the switch up. Less wasted water and gets it up to temp quickly. I do not like heating plastics. I’d definitely recommend the switch.
