    Is it much different than the Clever as far as the outcome? I already have the Clever and am wondering if the Switch would be an upgrade or just a “same-same” kinda thing.

      I don’t have a clever, but from what I’ve seen, switch has a slightly better work flow and flexibility.

      You can mix immersion and percolation with more ease. That’s what I do sometimes, something similar to this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ZOXrXbVHc

      I’m sure you can replicate it using clever, but I believe that involves moving the brewer on and off the cup/carafe/server.

      You can do any ratio of steep and release combination easier with switch IMO, just based on observation.

        Thanks for the input on this! I’m trying to gauge if the a switch would be worth getting.

        If I was buying for the first time or replacing a broken Clever, I’d probably get the Hario, as it seems like it can do a little more. For now, it sounds like the benefit may not justify the cost.

          I agree that it might not be a huge jump going to switch. Clever is already a great brewer.
