    Is there a list somewhere of all the brewers that fit in the base of a switch?

    I’d love a switch that can brew two cups

      You can buy the size 03 version. That’s what I already have actually. With 03, you can brew 30gr of coffee with 450gr of water in one go.

      With 02, you can also brew 2 cups, but using release-steep-release method. Open the valve, add 30gr coffee, then 225gr hot water. After water has passed through, close the valve, then add another 225gr water. Steep for 1-2 minutes, then open the valve again.

      Aside from that, according to Lance Hedrick, kono and Stagg also fits.

        I did eye up the 03, but I don’t think 450g of water will fill what I consider to be two cups.

        Good suggestion about steeping and releasing.

      It’s really good :)

      Easy to use, easy to clean, very consistent, and produces great cups of coffee.

        Is it much different than the Clever as far as the outcome? I already have the Clever and am wondering if the Switch would be an upgrade or just a “same-same” kinda thing.

          I don’t have a clever, but from what I’ve seen, switch has a slightly better work flow and flexibility.

          You can mix immersion and percolation with more ease. That’s what I do sometimes, something similar to this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ZOXrXbVHc

          I’m sure you can replicate it using clever, but I believe that involves moving the brewer on and off the cup/carafe/server.

          You can do any ratio of steep and release combination easier with switch IMO, just based on observation.

            Thanks for the input on this! I’m trying to gauge if the a switch would be worth getting.

            If I was buying for the first time or replacing a broken Clever, I’d probably get the Hario, as it seems like it can do a little more. For now, it sounds like the benefit may not justify the cost.

              I agree that it might not be a huge jump going to switch. Clever is already a great brewer.

      Less worry when brewing coffee in the morning when you just wake up lol.

      Longer drawdown time though, because there are almost no ribs in the inner wall.
