Hario - Immersion Switch Ceramic Coffee Dripper (Mix & Match)

Hario Switch Ceramic – Full Control, Your Way

☕🎛️🌈

The Hario Switch Ceramic brings together the elegance of classic pour-over and the precision of full immersion brewing — all in one beautifully designed brewer.

With a simple flip of the switch, you decide exactly when the coffee flows. This makes the Switch a favorite among coffee lovers who enjoy experimenting with extraction, body, and clarity.

Thanks to its ceramic dripper and mix & match color options, the Hario Switch isn’t just a brewer — it’s a statement piece on your brew bar.

Why the Hario Switch is so versatile

🌀 Immersion & Drip in one

Brew like a V60 or let the coffee steep fully before releasing — your recipe, your rules.

🎯 More control = more flavor

Play with:

• Brew time
• Immersion time
• Grind size
• Water temperature

Perfect for getting the best out of specialty coffee.

🌡️ Ceramic for thermal stability

The ceramic body retains heat well, helping achieve a more even and repeatable extraction.

🎨 Mix & Match colors

Combine different colors of dripper, base, and server to create your own personalized setup.

How does coffee from the Hario Switch taste?

The Switch is known for:

• More body than classic pour-over
• Softer acidity
• Higher perceived sweetness
• Consistent extraction, even with lighter roasts

A fantastic brewer for both fruity and chocolaty profiles.

☕ Why we like it at WB.coffee

At Amsterdam Coffee Lab, we use the Hario Switch regularly during tastings and workshops because:

✔ It’s forgiving for beginners

✔ Extremely educational for advanced brewers

✔ Flavor differences between coffees become very clear

Ideal for:

• Comparing single origins
• Recipe development
• Sensory training

Perfect with WB.coffee specialty blends 🌱

Our recommendations

• FJ – Fruity & Juicy → juicy immersion 
• FF – Fruity & Floral → tea-like, elegant and bright
• FC – Fruity & Chocolaty → round, sweet and balanced
• Single Origin – limited editions → truly taste origin and process

💡 CoffeeNose tip: Brew the same coffee once as immersion and once as drip — you’ll learn more in two cups than in ten recipes.

The CoffeeNose👃is a Switch fan and has some tips about how to get most out of your switch

• The switch rubber base is interchangeable with the glass dripper. That means you can use 01, 02 and 03 size glass with the same base. Also in case the glass breaks you just order a (cheaper) regular glass V60. It is also suitable for dedicated ceramic switch drippers.

• Switch is great to rinse the paper filter, make it stick nicely to the sides and pre-heat the brewer. Just keep the valve closed and pour hot water in. No need to fill it to the top (save energy and water) as the paper will get wet through capiliar activity. 

• Use the 01 paper filterin the 02 Switch and the 02 paper filterin the 03 Switch. This way the paper doesn't stick out and the heat in the brew bed gets better retained. The Switch also works with the Able V60 filter.

• You can use the Switch as regular V60 (leave the valve ball open). You can close the valve during wetting phase (what is often reffered to as blooming). Pour twice the amound of water in ml as the amount of ground coffee in grams. After 10-40 seconds you can release the valve and brew as a regular V60. It is also possible to continue with a second pour in the full immersion mode (valve closed). This way you can extract more and you catch the acidity from the first drain. 

• If you truly want to #extractmorewiththecoffeenose you should get yourself some Sibarist FAST (competition) filters. Due to it's fast flow rate you can grind finer and extract more. Look for our combo Switch + FAST filters.

🌸 Experience rare varietals — including legendary coffees like Geisha, and other micro-lot gems from around the world.

🔬 Explore multiple brew styles — from delicate filter brews and bold espressi to the mesmerizing syphon method.

🥄 Try your hand at cupping — slurp and taste coffee like a professional taster, discovering aromas and acidity in new ways.

🍹 Enjoy surprising coffee mocktails — creative and refreshing, crafted from the same beans you’ll taste in the lineup.

👃 Engage your senses fully — experience how the aroma, cup shape, color, and even the sound of pouring influence your flavor perception.

A Guided Journey by the CoffeeNose 👃

Led by Wouter Brunia, also known as the CoffeeNose 👃, this tasting is a deep dive into coffee flavor and sensory science.

Like a sommelier presenting fine wines, Wouter will:

• Brew each coffee live with expert precision

• Explain flavor notes, processing methods, and varietal differences
• Help you understand why your favorite coffee tastes the way it does

It’s fun for your brain, taste buds, and nose — and you’ll leave with a new appreciation for what’s in your cup.
