HARIO Prepare coffee according to the tea principle, immersion dripper switch, made in Japan

Product Information

While I wouldn’t call the Hario Switch a work of art, it is a beautiful piece of coffee gear that you can proudly showcase on your coffee bar. And you can add style points by pairing it with a pour over coffee stand.

Apart from using the Switch as a standard immersion brewer, some coffee geeks (such as myself) prefer to use it for a hybrid recipe that involves a standard pour over mixed with immersion phases. The water temperature is another important variable that affects the extraction and flavor of your coffee. The water temperature determines how much solubles are dissolved from the coffee grounds into the water, and how fast the chemical reactions occur in the brewing process. Generally speaking, a higher water temperature increases the extraction rate and produces a more complex and balanced cup of coffee, while a lower water temperature decreases the extraction rate and produces a more delicate and sweet cup of coffee. Here is a recipe we recommend. We suggest a 1:16 coffee to water ratio, with 15g of beans and 240ml of water. This technique is simple, easy to remember, and can be adjusted to fit different types of beans, grinder capabilities, and personal tastes. You’re not interested in manual brewing: If you want the flavor of a pour-over but aren’t interested in learning the technique, take a look at the Goat Gina smart coffee brewer. It will cost you a fair bit more, but it’s like having a trained barista make a good cup of coffee for you.The Hario Switch is easy to clean and maintain. After each use, you should detach the glass cone and the silicone base and rinse them with warm water. You can also use a soft brush or cloth to remove any coffee residue or oil from the cone. You should also discard the paper filter and the used coffee grounds. The Hario Switch is a combination of an immersion brewer and a traditional v60 pour over device. Do you get the best of both worlds though? This coffee dripper is designed for single serve brewing, and it’s one of the most popular pour over coffee makers on the market today. The origin and varietal: Different origins and varietals have different flavor profiles and characteristics, such as sweetness, fruitiness, nuttiness, floral notes, etc. Depending on your preference and recipe, you may want to choose an origin or varietal that enhances or complements your coffee flavor. The coffee brewed with all-in-one method improved to a fruity, light-bodied, silky cup with voluminous flavors.

The recipe is super flexible, and you can easily adjust it to your preferences while retaining the core of the method. The VerdictIn this case I’ll look specifically at two popular brewers, the Hario Switch and the Clever Dripper. Hario Switch V60 Style Cone Dripper — Count on the already famed V60 style brewer that delivers an even and consistent drawdown through the curved ribbed lines. You’re only interested in pour-over brewing: Likewise, if you have no desire for the heavy body and complex flavours of an immersion brew, there are some really good pour-over brewers to choose from, including the Hario V60. Overall, both coffee drippers make manual coffee brewing easy, with outstanding results. Value For Money If you use it in a fashion similar to the Clever Dripper, you are guaranteed a reliably great cup of coffee. It’s as simple as steeping the coffee immersion style for the duration of the brew, then opening the valve to filter the liquid from the coffee grounds. This produces an intensely flavored and complex cup of coffee as you’d expect from immersion extraction, but with the clean cup of a paper filter coffee. You can even use this method for making cold brew.
