Hi everyone!
In our latest Youtube episode, our head barista Tsubasa walks you through the unique features of Hario Immersion Dripper Switch along with two recipes.
Let me quickly recap the features of this unique dripper and its brewing methods.
Immersion method
When the switch of the dripper is up, it holds the content inside. You can immerse coffee grounds in water to extract the flavours. Examples of this method are Siphon and French Press.
Filter Method
When the switch is pushed down, the dripper lets hot water poured over the coffee bed to run down into the server below. This way, the dripper can be used for a regular pour-over.
Things you need
- Hario Immersion Dripper Siwtch
- Paper filter: ABACA filter (or a filter you have at home will do its job!)
- Coffee: 10g/filter grind
- Hot water 160g/94°C

2. Rinse the paper filter and warm up the dripper with hot water. Keep the switch up to hold water inside.
3. Push down the switch to release water.
4. Add 10g of ground coffee in the dripper. Make sure the switch is up.
5. Start the timer. Pour hot water to cover the entire coffee bed, and then pour all the remaining water in 15 seconds.
