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

Love this brewer

Have tried a number of coffee makers/gadgets/machines, this is now my go to. An ingenious idea a single cup ( I'm the only one who drinks coffee in my house) drip/immersive filter coffee maker allowing you to brew you coffee to your liking. You control the brew time by the use of a little valve in the bottom. Also very easy clean up. The only downside (and it's not really one) is that you may find it difficult to find the filter papers in a normal store.

This wins for offering that combination of infusion (bolder more caffeine extraction) with the clarity of flavour that comes from paper filters.Takes a bit of getting used too. Be gentle with the tab that opens the valve (stainless steel ball) to make the coffee flow.Another plus is no plastic parts with the cone made out of glass and the base being silicon/rubber- as opposed to the clever dripper.However, it is dawning on me how these kind of products are pretty insignificant in improving flavour if you are paying zero attention to the quality of water and grind size i.e. invest as much as you can in a water filter and quality grinder.

Amazing product if you want the best of both worlds.. immersion blend and drip coffee. The quality of the product and material is brilliant. Not good for travel please keep that in mind.

Bought this to increase my options. Loving it so far. Now I only use my nespresso when I dont have the time for pour-over. Works great as a pour-over filter and you can steep with it too.Really enjoy using it.However, it made a goose neck kettle and a quality grinder must haves for better pour-over.

Easy to use and inexpensive!

Pop it on a mug, add a filter, add water, add freshly ground coffee, wait three minutes, press the button and in 30s you have perfectly brewed coffee.Combines the positives of a French press (easy, full infusion, depth of flavour) with the cleanliness (of flavour and lack of mess) of a v60 with out any silty residue, or faffing with a slow careful pour.I have a clever dripper too which is now my travel companion, but the Hario Switch is my preference at home because its really nicely made and much easier to clean being glass + silicone. It can go in the dishwasher but I've not needed to, just ditch the filter paper and a rinse gets rid of all the coffee residue.

Very easy to use, and gives a good brew with lots of flavour, takes all the guesswork out of brewing. Easy to clean also. One of my many favourite ways of brewing coffee.
