With the Hario Switch, the outlet can be closed, allowing the coffee and water to steep together. Once the steeping time is over, you activate the switch, and the coffee runs through the paper filter and into your cup or server.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the Hario Switch interesting if you want the clean cup produced by a paper filter but also desire a simpler and more reproducible brewing method than classic pour over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Hario Switch?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hario Switch is officially called the \u003cstrong\u003eHario V60 Immersion Dripper Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewer is based on the V60 concept but features a closure system at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stainless steel ball seals the outlet when the Switch system is closed. Consequently, the water remains in the dripper along with the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you activate the switch, the ball moves, and the coffee can drain through the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means you decide exactly when the filtration process begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Hario Switch work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe

wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, for example, experiment with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1:30 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2:00 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2:30

opportunity there is for extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, grind size, temperature, and coffee type also play a role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat grind size for the Hario

flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use a finer grind size with a shorter steeping time or a coarser grind size with a longer steeping time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the coffee

classic V60 have many features in common, but the actual brewing process differs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHario V60\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a traditional V60, the water runs through the coffee bed while you pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePouring speed, water distribution, and technique therefore have a major impact on the brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHario Switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Switch can close the outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee and water can therefore steep together before the coffee is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the brewing less dependent on precise pouring technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Switch is therefore interesting if you like the V60 format and paper filtration, but want a more forgiving brewing method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCan the Hario Switch be used as a regular V60?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the interesting features of the Hario Switch is precisely that the mechanism can be kept open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the water can run through the dripper, and the brewer can be used more like a traditional V60.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can therefore work with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure immersion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional percolation

reasons why the Hario Switch has become popular among coffee enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is hybrid brewing with the Hario Switch?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHybrid brewing means that you use both percolation and immersion in the same recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, you can start with the switch open so that the first part of the water runs through as in a pour over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, you close the Switch and let the next part of the water steep with the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the brewer is opened again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many different hybrid recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no one correct recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advantage is that the Switch

very similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth can be used for immersion brewing with a paper filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, there are differences in construction and operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHario Switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou control the valve yourself using the switch on the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes it easy to open and close the brewer multiple times during the same brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClever Dripper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clever Dripper has a valve at the bottom that normally opens automatically when the brewer is placed on a cup or server.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClever is therefore extremely simple for classic immersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Switch, on the other hand, offers more freedom to experiment with hybrid recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHario Switch vs. AeroPress\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are very flexible immersion brewers, but

The valve can hold back the water during brewing and release the coffee through the paper filter when the switch is activated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do you use the Hario Switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a filter and coffee, close the valve, add hot water, and let the coffee steep. After, for example, about 2 minutes, open the valve and the coffee will drain through the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much coffee should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 grams of coffee to 250 grams of water is a good starting point. This corresponds to approximately 60 grams of coffee per liter of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat grind size is used for the Hario Switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium to medium-coarse is a good starting point for classic immersion. Then adjust according to steeping time and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat temperature should the water be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround 92–96 °C is a good starting point for many coffees. Lighter roasts can often handle higher temperatures, while darker coffee may work well a little cooler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Hario Switch the same as a V60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The shape is based on the V60, but the Switch adds a valve so that coffee and water can steep together. However, the Switch can also be used with the valve open, functioning more like a standard V60.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Hario Switch and the Clever Dripper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth use immersion and a paper filter. The Clever usually opens automatically when placed on a cup, while the Hario Switch has a switch that the user can open and close themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Hario Switch for pour over?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. With the valve open, the Switch can be used for percolation brewing, and it can also be used for hybrid recipes where immersion and pour over are combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat filters does the Hario Switch use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Switch uses V60 paper filters in a size that matches the specific dripper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Hario Switch come in several sizes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

The simple immersion method requires less precise pouring technique than a classic V60 and is therefore relatively easy to get consistent results with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you need a gooseneck kettle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot for a simple immersion recipe.
