Hario immersion dripper SWITCH - a trusty coffee gear

Flick the switch for fantastic drip coffee

The Hario Immersion Dripper SWITCH combines immersion and percolation to give you the best of both worlds. It is a trusty coffee dripper that enables anyone to brew a robust cup of coffee, without worrying about getting a muddy layer of coffee grounds in the cup. The magic — a valve that closes while the coffee steeps, and opens when you flick the switch. You can even use the SWITCH as a V60 for a pour over coffee by keeping the valve released. Follow this super easy recipe for your daily coffee fix!

      • 11 to 12 for Baratza Encore

About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from Gayo in North Sumatra, Indonesia, and crafted using the traditional Giling Basah (wet-hulled) process.


After harvesting, the cherries are pulped, washed, partially dried, hulled at about 35% moisture, and sun-dried to 12%—a two-week process that creates its signature depth.


Behind it is Alfiner, who grew up in a coffee family and is now working with more than 170 smallholder farmers. He pays premium prices for quality cherries, supporting their livelihoods and sharing the true taste of Sumatra with the world.
