Hario Switch is also available as a set - with a 300 ml server and a pack of filters. That was my way to start enjoying the filter coffee - love it very much! If you are a beginner or drink the filter coffee occasionally, you may consider using a milk frothing pitcher to pour the water. Buying the goose neck kettle is not mandatory, although it will definitely improve the results. A temperature sensor used when frothing the milk is also a very useful and not expensive thing to add to the accessory set. Thanks for the review, like other videos on your channel. Good luck!
just a heads up for people who want to only drink from glass. in the switch your coffee is sitting in a little basin made of silicone when the switch is closed. So keep that in mind, I returned mine because of it..
this was exactly my thought but the switch uses a resin switch that comes into contact w the hot coffee. wondering if i could carve a wood replacement. that being said it may be better than porous plastic of an aeropress combined with heat and pressure. do you get really good extraction w the switch?
@@ceegslug I think the extraction is a tiny bit better on the aeropress, but they're close. In terms of ease-of-use I'd say the Switch wins hands down. On the Switch, 99.9% of the time your brew is sitting in paper surrounded by glass, and only comes into direct contact with anything else as it's emptying out. I'm slightly concerned about the metal ball. If that's made of lead, I'd stop using the Switch immediately. Haven't done that part of the homework yet.
@@kristfur you've made a hario convert out of me! 🥰 ty for your experience! my bet is the ball is a stainless steel ball bearing, is there a reason you'd suspect lead?
@@ceegslug I just looked it up. The ball is stainless. It's just not 100% smoothed out perfectly like lead might feel. It works for it's intended purpose. I'd recommend getting a little plastic ramekin to rest it on between uses. I got one for $1 at Walmart. Keeps things tidy for the occasional drip.
Got a Switch and never looked back, you can make it as straightforward and simple or as faffy and hipster inventory as you want. So however you feel at the time it can make coffee to suit your mood or time frame. I keep looking at the Fellow X but I can't think it will get used when the Switch is there being all versatile and cool.
I could imagine that other options with the W60 would be to use filters that are not from Hario. For example, you could certainly use the Kalita Wave filter in the mesh filter. That would give you a fourth option. And you could go even more extreme by using a Kalita Wave in the mesh filter and also using the Hario paper filter all together. And using Sibarist Fast paper filters would again be another option. That would now be at least my creative approach as I would interpret Pete Licata's statement. ;)
I love my standard V60, I regularly use also the Clever Dripper so I'm very curious about the Switch. I would give a try to the W60 as well! Great ideas from Hario!
I am a daily V60 brewer so am already sold on the format. I love the idea of the Switch but am curious about the cleaning and buildup challenge the Switch's mechanism may present. Dishwasher and/or warm soapy water? Thanks for the video!
I just rinse with water, done. It can be disassembled but just rinse or soapy water rinse se followed by clean has been enough for me. Just don't lose the stainless steel ball.
I just started my hand making coffiee and for now only using chemex but that "switch" is pretty interesting. Didnt know it existed before this video, thanks.
You can buy the Hario Mugen and remove the plastic cone and use it on the Switch. It’s a perfect fit. Now you’ll have the glass version and a plastic version. You can easily switch them out to your desired use and it won’t cost you much.
I’m curious if you could almost do a Staccato style pour over with the W60 by using something like a Kruve sifter to separate, putting the coarser part in the flat-bottom mesh, and then the finer grind into the cone filter
You left out the key advantage of plastic over glass and ceramic besides price and less breakable: It heats up faster. I have to fill up my glass switch with hot water with the valve closed and let it sit to preheat it before making coffee. With plastic you only need to run enough hot water to prewet the filter, and you're ready to go.

Thank you for your video! It helped me a lot. Have you tried using the W60 filter in Switch? Do you believe it would make sense?
@@HomeGroundsCoffee honestly I like em all never tried em because I have a kalita wave and I would love to try all 3 so I can learn because I’m very passionate about coffee that I roast my own beans at home as well. I love drinking fresh coffee It’s delicious
What are your thoughts on these new Hario brewers? Worth the upgrade from a standard V60? Let us know!
What about the mugen?

I became a Switch fan. I have been an Aeropress user, but wanted to get away from plastic. The Switch was the closest thing I've been able to find.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the Switch! We've really been loving it here too, it's been a daily brewer for sure.

I've only ever used the V60 drip decanter and appreciate its consistency and relative forgiveness
Great choice, it's a wonderful brewer!
I’m soo excited 😬 sorry but I’ve been keeping my eye out for good coffee thingies lol ok time to watch!

That’s a good question! Not sure I’ve had it long enough to know for sure, but just washing as normal with soap and water has worked fine.

Glad it was helpful! The chemex is a great brewer, hope you're enjoying it.
Subbed for the simple comparison among the hario products and the funny guy on the video. Would watch their other videos.
Appreciate the kind words!
I would like to try the switch.
The plastic v60 with the v60 drip assist is my daily go to.
The drip assist looks interesting for sure!
@@HomeGroundsCoffee I love it! You don't have to worry about having a controlled pour at all
I do hope switch would have a plastic version so that it could be travel friendly. Anyways love your videos
Thanks for the kind words! That would be a really great addition to their lineup.
The Clever is basically a plastic version of the Switch. I have them both.
You can buy the Hario Mugen and remove the plastic cone and use it on the Switch. It’s a perfect fit. Now you’ll have the glass version and a plastic version. You can easily switch them out to your desired use and it won’t cost you much.

That's an interesting idea for sure!
Love my glass V60, but I thought the Switch looked interesting. Still wanna grab a plastic one for travel.
The switch is great! It's been really interested experimenting with. Also love my plastic V60, a great small investment!

Me me me me me me!!!!!!! Please been wanting one forever I need this to try out and see what the difference is between the v60 and my kalita
Good luck!!
@@HomeGroundsCoffee honestly I like em all never tried em because I have a kalita wave and I would love to try all 3 so I can learn because I’m very passionate about coffee that I roast my own beans at home as well. I love drinking fresh coffee It’s delicious
Seems to me that plastic parts won't last long on the Switch
The W60 looks interesting. You don't have to buy paper filters everytime! Saves you some bucks. 😁
Definitely the best feature in the W60!
@@HomeGroundsCoffee I definitely agree!
How many paper filters come with V60? The same amount as with w60? ;)
Haha good question. I'm sure it depends on where you buy it from and if they bundle filters with the brewer or not!
W60 + filtrs KalitaWave))
I have a Chemex brewer, as well as, a French press. Any thoughts on rounding out my brewing options?
One of these brewers would be great! The switch would be perfect as it would add the option for percolation or steep & release brewing.
V60 is my favorite brewer. Would be open to the switch. The W not for me.
The switch is really fun, highly recommend!
Send me all 3 so I can try em please
We wish we could. Enter the giveaway though and you'll have a shot at winning one!
Which sizes of each V60 are in the video?
That is the 02 size.
Something tells me he didn't tell the whole story about the elevator
