Hario Switch Size / Mod guidance
Hey folks.
Just received a Hario Switch and it's great, but i'm interested in upping the capacity. I don't have any v60 experience previous to this (used chemex or aerpress before).
What size is the v60 cone that comes with the Switch? Is it a v60 01 or 02? Based on looking online it sounds like it's an 01 but they ship with 02 filters, so i want to be sure.
I am aiming for about 500ML of brewed coffee at the end of it, so would I want to go to an 02 or 03 for that -- keeping in mind that means the cone will need to hold 30-40g of coffee and 450-550ml of water if my calculations are correct.
Thanks!

It comes with a size 02. Size 03, needs to be glass one because the others have fixtures on them, will fit in it.
I use a 03 in a Switch. It works perfectly fine and can do larger doses, although I doubt it can handle more than 500ml of POURED water. That is around its entire capacity. I did a 24.5g coffee to 426.1 ml water brew today in Switch-03 and the water was near the top - maybe - Probably around 1 to 1.5 cm from top. I would guess 500 to 550ml would have been right to top. With even more coffee, as you want to do, I think not much over 500ml would have gone over the top.
Do you think that metal 03 would work as well or thickness is also important ? How does it seal ?

No idea. If the bottom base is removable then maybe but still not known.
I have no experience with the metal cone but I think the thickness could be important. I'd get a glass 03 cone to be sure. I'm not sure you'll be able to get 500ml but you should be able to get 460ish.
