The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

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.
