Hario Switch Immersion Dripper

The primary difference is the button-activated valve at the base. While a standard V60 is strictly a pour-over device, the Switch allows you to close the valve and steep your coffee grounds in water, enabling immersion brewing similar to a French press before releasing the brew.

Yes. You can leave the valve in the open position to use it exactly like a traditional V60, allowing water to flow through the grounds continuously during your pour.

No, the Hario Switch is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the glass components with warm, soapy water to prevent breakage and maintain the integrity of the valve mechanism.

The Switch uses standard conical paper filters designed for V60 drippers. The set includes a starter pack, but any size 02 V60 filter will fit perfectly.

Absolutely. The immersion method is generally more forgiving than a standard pour-over because it is less sensitive to your pouring technique. It is an excellent entry point for beginners who want consistent results while they learn.

The borosilicate glass is durable and handles hot water well, but it does not have active thermal insulation. For the best results, we recommend pre-heating the dripper and carafe with hot water before you begin brewing.
