I am interested in this type of brewer. I am under the impression that it’s mid way between a regular V60 and a French press. How would you compare it to those 2 options?
Sort of, I mean it’s capable of doing both those styles of brew but you can also do a mix too. So, say, 50g open switch, then close and do 100g for 45 seconds, then open, then 50g open, then 50g closed, etc. It’s fun to play with options. A large French press will still be easier for batch brews but if you only ever make coffee for one person, I’d say the Switch is significantly better than both V60 and FP.
You can make an immersion brew like a French press without having to clean a French press. Just dump the filter and grounds and give the Switch a quick rinse.
