Quick verdict
The Switch combines a V60-style cone with a valve. Hario's instructions: add coffee, a V60 02 filter and water, let it steep, then flip the switch to drain. With the valve open, it works like a pour-over cone. It has a 200 ml capacity, a borosilicate glass bowl and 40 filters in the box. It suits single-cup brewers who want immersion's ease with the option of pour-over.
