Frequently Asked Questions

How much coffee do I use in a Hario Switch?
About 21 g for the Switch 02 (340 ml of water) and 31 g for the Switch 03 (500 ml) at a 1:16 ratio. Go 1:15 for a bolder cup.
What grind size is best for a Hario Switch?
Medium-fine to medium, a touch finer than a V60 for the steep phase. See the grind size guide.
How long should a Hario Switch brew take?

Between 92 and 96 C (198 to 205 F). Hotter for light roasts, cooler for dark. See the water temperature guide.
Is a Hario Switch different from a V60?
Yes. The Switch has a valve, so you can steep like a French press and then drain like a V60. Compare with the pour-over calculator.
