I love my Switch. I got a size 03 so when I want to do immersion, I can play with bigger volumes. I have a 02 glass V60 as well, and can swap that onto the switch if needed.
Follow up question. I typically prefer flat bottom for my pour overs (use blue bottle dripper) and usually use v60 for washed beans only. I would imagine in immersion mode the shape doesn'tatter as much though? Think that the flat bottom of the clever gives a different immersion experience than the conical switch?
Good question, and I’m not sure. In comparison to a pour over, the majority of the extraction will take place during the immersion phase, so I would guess shape doesn’t matter as much. A conical brewer typically has a faster draw down compared to flat bottom, which may benefit you as you’re trying to remove the coffee when the immersion phase is complete. But this is all speculation!
I like the Switch because I can tinker with different recipes easily, adding an immersion phase at different points. Check out Tetsu Kasuya’s “God Recipe” for one idea.
