Overview
Hario's Switch dripper, size 02, works two ways: close its stainless steel ball valve and it steeps coffee like an immersion brewer, or open it and it drains through a V60 filter like a standard pour-over, with 40 filters included.
- Size 02 dripper with 40 V60-02 filters included
- Stainless steel ball valve switch mechanism
- Heatproof Hario glass construction
- Works as pour-over or immersion brewer
Who it's for
Suits home brewers who want to experiment between full immersion and drip extraction without buying two separate devices, and anyone moving on from French press who wants less sediment in the cup. Less useful for anyone brewing single 8-ounce cups with no interest in adjusting recipes or timing.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers are consistently positive about this dripper, praising the coffee quality, build quality, and the flexibility of switching between immersion and pour-over styles in one device. The only recurring caveat is sizing: one buyer found the size 02 narrower than expected for larger immersion volumes and suggests sizing up, and another notes it performs better as an immersion brewer than as a pure pour-over.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Switches between immersion and pour-over in one dripper
- Comes with glass server-compatible size and 40 filters
- Heatproof glass and stainless valve feel durable
- Reduces sediment compared to French press
- Size 02 runs narrower than some V60 gear
- Pour-over mode needs a slow, careful pour
- Sized mainly for roughly 8-ounce single servings
Performance notes
Closing the valve turns it into an immersion brewer that steeps grounds like a French press without the sediment, then opening the valve drains the coffee through the filter. As a straight pour-over it works but needs a slow, deliberate pour over several minutes, and at least one reviewer found dedicated pour-over drippers with tuned bottom holes let water pass more consistently without that manual dribbling.

Questions about the Hario SSD-200-B
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Hario Switch work as a regular pour-over dripper?
Yes, but reviewers note it needs a slow, deliberate pour over several minutes to work well in pour-over mode, unlike drippers with holes tuned for faster flow.
What does the valve on the Hario Switch actually do?
It's a plastic switch connected to a stainless steel ball valve that closes to let coffee steep like an immersion brewer, then opens to drain it through the filter.
Is the size 02 Hario Switch big enough for two cups?
It's sized for about an 8-ounce cup, though one reviewer got closer to 10 ounces with care; another found it narrower than their existing size 02 V60 and suggested sizing up for larger batches.
