hario v60 switch
one dripper, two brewing methods, no compromises
the hario V60 Switch bridges pour-over and immersion brewing in a single glass cone, controlled by a stainless steel ball valve on a plastic lever. introduced in 2019, it costs around $45 for the size 02 and ships with 40 V60 filters. you can run it open like a standard V60 or close the valve to steep like a Clever Dripper. the glass cone is the same heatproof construction as the regular V60, so replacement parts are easy to find if you break one.
what it does well
- switches between immersion and pour-over without buying two separate brewers
- compatible with standard v60 size 02 filters, which are widely available
- glass cone is the same as the regular v60, so it is replaceable on its own
- 4.7 stars across over 2,300 reviews on amazon suggests strong real-world satisfaction
where it stops short
- glass cone breaks under rough handling, making it a poor travel option
- wider base can be incompatible with narrow travel mugs
- around $20 more than a basic glass v60-02, which may not suit casual brewers
- size 03 version is harder to find in stock
