HARIO"Switch" Immersion Dripper, Size 02

I didn’t need another pour-over device… but then James Hoffmann casually mentioned the Hario V60 Ceramic Immersion Dripper "Switch" was his daily driver for a while, and suddenly I had to have it. Call it peer pressure. Call it coffee cult behavior. Call it what it is: absolutely worth it.The Switch brings together the best of both worlds—immersion brewing and pour-over precision—with a literal flick of the wrist. Want to bloom and steep before releasing? Done. Want to geek out over flow rate and grind size? Also done. Want a foolproof way to get a consistent, clean, flavorful cup without brewing anxiety? Welcome home.The ceramic body feels solid and premium, like it could survive a minor kitchen apocalypse. And the simplicity of the switch mechanism? So satisfying it feels illegal. No drama. No leaks. Just coffee wizardry in motion.This one’s now a solid part of my rotation. Great for mellow mornings or when I want a cup with a bit more body but still clean clarity. Whether you’re deep into your third-wave journey or just trying to impress yourself before 8 a.m., this is a worthy add to the shelf.

If you're a V60 user, this will be a familiar product. The ability to do immersion and percolation brewing all in one is a super cool and convenient feature. I did not think that this was necessary for a pour over, but it really does change the tasting experience of your coffee. To me, it combines the best of an aeropress and traditional pour over in one handy device. It can also be used as a traditional V60 without using the switch feature.This device really allows for the end-user to tweak their brew via endless methodologies. If you want to get the most out of your coffee experience and like adjusting flavor experiences, this is the device to use. Highly recommend adding this to your brewing arsenal. If this is your potential first brewer, you cant go wrong with the ability to use it in so many different ways.

Awesome! I can allow the grounds to bloom, then fill up the cone with water for immersion and release the lever for the coffee to drip into my carafe. My coffee comes out perfect! It's nicer than the French press because I can just toss the grounds. No more sludge in my last cup of coffee. It is simple, the hole size works well. I have been using regular coffee maker filters and they work ok.

When I bought my first switch I had no way of telling it was of a modest size, good for maybe 220 grams. I was happy making a 200 gram cup of coffee. But when my wife approved of my new found barista-hood and asked for a cup also. The switch was barely big enough. Because I had bought the 02 size. I have enjoyed buying Japanese goods on-line, negotiating converting their own unusual clothing and shoe sizes to US. And coping with Omissions. Such is the case here, Hario isn't much help in telling you anything about the switch size options. I bought the 03 which uses the V60 size filters (also a rather mysterious size discovery). I grind 26.6 grams of dark roast, pour 200 grams of water through the grounds (switch open), then the second 200 grams to sit in suspension (switch closed) for a couple of minutes. Take the resulting 400 grams of premium coffee in the carafe and split it with my wife. A wonderful product.

High Quality product that produces very delicious coffee for people who know how to use it correctly. It's is very easy to use, clean, perfect size as described. Above all it really worth the money you spend on it.I really love it and made the best coffee with it.

I love the freshness from this porcelain drip maker. Two things could make this better. First, the ball bearing needs to be a touch larger. Second, letting it steep in the container for even just 45 seconds- the seal of the Silicon around the Porcelain starts to leak. In essence, have a slightly larger bearing and have the Silicon make to be a little tighter. Other than than love this pour over.

-Easy and intuitive to use-Easy to disassemble and reassemble for cleaning. Being able to close the valve makes trips to dump the used filter a drip-free mess-Lightweight and mostly durable. The little switch to close/open the valve seems to be made of a thinner plastic, though, so be careful with that particular part.-Our favorite brewing method is to let the grounds soak with the valve closed for ~2m before letting it drip. It's a very quick and easy method-One "fill" of the 03 size makes a large mug of coffee.

my folger coffee tastes like nespresso now
