Product Introduction
The HARIO Switch server set brings together a glass immersion dripper, a glass server and 40 paper filters. Steep the grounds in the dripper, then press the switch to let the coffee pass through the paper filter into the server below. Once brewing is complete, pour it straight into your coffee cup.
Choose the steeping time with the switch
The Switch controls the outlet with a stainless steel ball at the base and a switch. Lift the switch to CLOSE to hold hot water in the dripper and steep the grounds. Press it down to the flat OPEN position to let coffee flow through the paper filter into the vessel below. The switch stays open, so draining continues after you release your finger.
Steeping first and draining afterwards separates immersion and filtration into two steps. If you leave the switch open before pouring, you can use it for pour-over coffee like a V60. To compare the two methods, use the same dripper and adjust the grind, pouring technique and steeping time.
Separate capacities for the dripper and server
The SSD-5012-B dripper has a finished coffee volume of 200 mL, while the server has a practical capacity of 300 mL. The server holds more liquid, so plan your brew size around the dripper’s finished coffee volume. This Switch series design received the 2019 Good Design Award.

Use and Cleaning
Use the dripper and server together
- Wash before first use. Set the dripper securely on a server or brewing stand, fold the paper filter along its seam and place it in the dripper.
- Lift the switch to CLOSE, add the coffee grounds and pour in hot water to steep them.
- After steeping, gently press the switch to OPEN and let the coffee drain fully. Lift the switch again before your next brew.
Adjust the steeping time and grind to your preference. For pour-over coffee, leave the switch in OPEN before pouring.
Cleaning and Storage
Wash with a soft sponge and neutral detergent, rinse thoroughly and let dry. Avoid steel wool, scouring powder or sponges containing abrasive particles. The dripper and glass server in this set are dishwasher safe; position them according to your dishwasher instructions and keep the glass from knocking against other dishes.
When washing, pay attention to the joints between the silicone base, switch and stainless steel ball. The ball controls water retention and must remain in the correct position after cleaning.
