Hario V60 Switch & Match Immersion Dripper Base – the switch that decides
A stainless steel ball sits at the bottom: as long as it stays closed, the water stays in the Dripper and the coffee steeps. One click of the lever, the ball releases – and the coffee flows through. Immersion brewing and pour-over in a single motion.
The Switch Base is the foundation of the Hario Switch-&-Match system. It's not a complete Dripper, but the base onto which a ceramic Dripper is placed. We carry Hario at Coffee Coaching Club.
Switch and Match
The base sets the function – immersion brewing or pour-over, depending on when you press the lever. The ceramic Dripper on top sets the material and look. This way you put together your Switch in the colour combination you want; the base comes in Taupe, red, green, blue and black.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Switch Base a complete Dripper?
No. It's the base and needs a compatible Switch-&-Match-Ceramic-Dripper on top. Only both together make up the complete system.
Which Drippers is the base compatible with?
With the Hario V60 Switch-&-Match-Ceramic-Drippers in size 02.
How does the switch work?
A stainless steel ball seals the outlet, so the coffee steeps. Using the lever, you release the flow and the coffee drains – you set the steep time yourself.
Can I clean the base in the dishwasher?
We recommend cleaning it by hand, so the silicone and lever mechanism last a long time.
