HARIO Switch Immersion Dripper V60 Brewer Size 02 — Glass Hybrid with Stainless-Steel Valve & 40 Filters

The HARIO "Switch" Immersion Dripper Size 02 is a hybrid V60 brewer that lets you toggle between immersion and pourover brewing with a simple plastic switch controlling a stainless-steel ball valve.

Designed for coffee lovers who want a single device that performs as both an immersion brewer and a classic V60 pourover, the Switch combines HARIO’s heatproof glass with a precision valve mechanism. The dripper accepts standard 02 V60 filters and ships with a 40-pack so you can start brewing immediately. It’s compact, easy to clean, and built to fit scale-up or daily single-cup routines while preserving the bright clarity of pourover or the fuller body of immersion.

How does the Switch let me choose between immersion and pourover?

The Switch uses a plastic actuator that moves a stainless-steel ball valve inside the base of the dripper. When the switch is closed, water stays above the grounds for immersion-style extraction; when opened, brewed coffee flows through like a standard V60. This gives you control over contact time without swapping hardware.

• Plastic switch activates stainless steel ball valve for reliable flow control
• Closed position enables full immersion steeping
• Open position produces the classic pour-over drawdown
• No extra gears or adapters required—one device, two methods

What makes this model different from a standard V60 02 cone?

Beyond the valve, the Switch shares HARIO’s signature heatproof glass body and is sized for 02 filters, but its internal flow control changes extraction dynamics. You can replicate fuller-bodied brews typical of immersion methods or the cleaner, more transparent character of pourover without changing brewers. The included 40 filters are cut for 02 cones, so you’ll use the same paper as a regular V60.

• Glass cone built from heatproof HARIO glass for thermal stability
• Compatible with all 02 size V60 paper filters
• Hybrid design allows experimentation with contact time and clarity
• Supplied 40-pack of 02 filters for immediate use

How do I brew with the Switch and keep it clean?

Brewing is straightforward: place an 02 filter, add coffee, pour in water, then flip the switch to control drawdown. For immersion, keep the valve closed during steep and open when ready to serve; for pourover, open from the start. Rinse the glass and valve components after each use to prevent oils and residue buildup.

• Start with a properly seated 02 V60 paper filter
• Use the switch to control flow—closed for steep, open for drawdown
• Hand-wash the glass cone and operate the switch under running water
• Periodic deep clean: remove residual grounds and inspect the ball valve

Will the Switch fit my current kettles and mugs?

The Size 02 dripper matches the footprint and height common to 02 V60 cones, so it sits on most carafes, server carafes, and standard mugs. Its compact glass form and centered cone make it stable during pouring, and the valve mechanism doesn’t change the dripper’s mounting or filter alignment.

• Designed for standard 02 V60 filter geometry and placements
• Sits securely on most medium-size servers and cups
• Compact enough for countertop or travel use
• No special bases or adapters required

Who is this for: The HARIO Switch Size 02 is ideal for home baristas who want one versatile brewer to explore both immersion and pourover techniques, small coffee shops testing different profiles without extra equipment, and anyone who values the clarity of V60-style extraction but enjoys occasional fuller-bodied steeping. It suits users who appreciate durable heatproof glass, want immediate use with included 02 filters, and like a straightforward mechanical solution for flow control.
