Hario Switch coffee brewer (lemmy.world)

I got a Hario Switch a few weeks ago and, honestly, I wasn't sure where it was going to fit in between my Chemex on the one side for large, slow brews and my Aeropress on the other for quick, single dose fixes. But the Switch has fast become my favourite coffee brewer.

I have not seen much mention of it so I thought I would give it a shout out on here to see if there were any fans and techniques to be shared.

I opted for the 03 off the bat so I had plenty of room for immersion and, having used it now, I don't really see how the smaller size would work satisfactorily so - if you are curious - definitely get the 03.

How does it compare to AeroPress? Why do you prefer Hario Switch?

I was going to write a bunch of things about the Switch but I guess they would apply to most other pourover drippers too. I'm coming from the Chemex as a comparison, which is lovely but a bit slow and unwieldy for that one cup of coffee.

Having said that what makes the Switch stand out to me is that it feels like such a high quality piece of kit, and having the immersion element in the mix really suits me. My brain interprets that as "big aeropress" for whatever reason.
