Hario Switch Dripper

The switch allows you to steep your coffee grounds in water for a set amount of time, similar to a French press, before releasing the brew through the filter. This hybrid method provides more control over extraction and body than a traditional pour-over, which relies solely on gravity.

Because ceramic is a dense material, it is best to preheat the dripper by rinsing it with hot water before adding your grounds. This prevents the cold ceramic from absorbing heat from your brew water, ensuring a more consistent extraction temperature.

Yes. You can leave the switch in the open position to use it as a traditional V60 dripper, or engage the switch to hold the water for a hybrid brew. It is a versatile tool that adapts to your preferred technique.

No, this model is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the ceramic body with mild soap and warm water to protect the finish and the internal valve mechanism.

This dripper uses standard Hario 02 size paper filters. You can use either the tabbed or untabbed versions, as both are compatible with the 02 size cone.

The valve is designed for durability, but it should be rinsed thoroughly after each use to prevent coffee oils from building up. If you notice the flow slowing down over time, a gentle soak in a mild coffee equipment cleaner will keep the mechanism functioning smoothly.
