I already rinse the paper with hot tap water but I don’t think the material retains heat long enough to make a difference once I pour the 95°C kettle water. No idea what 120 is, in my world water boils at around 100 :D

I like the idea of it but not the execution. Plus, I don’t think it would bring much more durability.
Yeah but I like the simplicity of the V60 as it is, plus the ceramic+silicone looks hideous to me. I’ll get a plain white porcelain V60 and hopefully be well served for
yearsdecades?
I’ll try to find out more about which polymer they use but I don’t think I’ll find much. I believe mine is the latest iteration but no way to be certain.
I didn’t know there was a ceramic version of the Switch! But some mechanism must be out of plastic right?
Interesting. Do you preheat them with boiling water or do you pour directly into them while cold?
Yep I know, Mr Hoffmann got me there and that’s the second reason I went with plastic. But I watched some Lance lately and he talked temperature stability a bit down, so I would try again with preheating vs cold brewer once I get a new ceramic one :)
My AeroPresses are newer than that and should be less toxic (l’ll never believe they don’t release anything bad into the beverage, but ultimately we have to die of something…).
I had a beautiful white ceramic one that crashed on the floor, so I went for the polymer one. Is yours transparent, too?




I’m a bit out of the loop regarding new recipes making use of the Switch, I will look into it! I also saw some colored versions with color-matched silicon base that look much better to me. In the end though, it’s a tool and aesthetics are not that high priority
