I had never really thought about using an immersion brewer as a pure pour-over device but just had a mind blowing honey process Ethiopian, and I noticed barista was brewing it in a Hario switch with the switch open the whole time. Tasted as good as a v60 brew to me. I’ve been wanting to try immersion brewing for a while. I get the sense this forum and many others lean more strongly towards the clever dripper. I imagine that device could also be kept open and used as a pour-over. Do you think an open Hario switch basically IS a v60? That sounds like the ultimate multi-Tasker to me. Am I missing something here? Any thoughts on the perceived lean toward clever? I’ve ruled out the plastic version and would be looking at glass clever vs switch.
I didn’t know this sub preferred clever over the switch. The Hario Switch is great. And yes, it is just like a regular v60 when open.
I could be wrong about that, but it’s my impression it comes up more than the switch.
That sells me though. God knows I have enough coffee clutter - if I can condense my v60 and have an immersion brewer, this seems like the right solution for me!
