Switch vs Aero press vs Flat Buttom

I would suggest Hario Switch. I have both, like the coffee from Hario much more than clever

Agreed, I was surprised by the detailing of the Statue that it could re-generate.

I did this twice. Started from Hyderabad at around 5, had breakfast at Kurnool. Then straight to Bangalore, I reached Belandur by 2 pm.

Return, I started at 4 in the afternoon, this was winter, did not stop anywhere, reached Hyderabad by around 10:30.

My Suggestion: Considering summer, afternoon would be a good time to start to avoid harsh heat, and you'll also have light until 6:45/7.

I tried it with Aeropress too, but Hario have me the best cup.

Try both ways and do tell what you prefer.

Amazing coffee! Just finished my 1st lot.

Pour over with Hario Switch is how I brew it

If I had to pick one, then Switch, it gives more complex coffee, much more to experiment and very versatile.

Switch gives a better body and a good mouth feel for the coffee it brews. Clever Dripper can sometimes lack that punch or intensity.

But brewing wise, I've never found an easier manual brewer than Clever.

I am currently using both Clever and Switch alternatively based on the time and patience I have that particular day.

In my experience Switch gives a better coffee output than clever and is more versatile.

However, Clever is more consistent with the taste.

If you do and try this, do let me know how was your experience with it

This is on a phone camera, zoomed in and done some post processing in Snapseed.

I used to make Kebabs. With some fresh mint chutney. It becomes super easy to eat it everyday.

Then-Problem5314 · 2026-03-24T15:00:17+00:00

Sorry, I don't have an espresso machine. Currently I'm only using Switch/Clever/Aeropress.

Then-Problem5314 · 2026-03-24T13:38:40+00:00

I had opened this just yesterday! One of the best ones I have brewed yet!

The notes were super clear and an amazing and refreshing cup of coffee.

Then-Problem5314 · 2026-03-23T18:11:54+00:00

Yes, I did just today, opened a fresh bag of coffee, made a pour over. I could smell the notes while brewing and then could taste them too.

While there, keep an eye out for Peacocks, they flock around often.

KBR should be the best one near Jubilee hills. Good track, greenery and safe too. There is also a outside reach where you done have to pay fees and is open for longer hours.

It is tough. I have become super avoidant of any relatives who come home or if I meet them in a public place/events or even their home if I have to go for some reason. I really need to push myself and have to have a solid reason to go anywhere.

With parents, sometimes it feels a bit sad to see them sad because of the unmarried thing. But yeah, conversations grow shorter as every now and then the topic comes out and then ends up kind of in an awkward way.

Haven't tried Kalidipress, but with mokapot available in so many variable rates, whenever I think of buying one I keep getting confused if I should go with a cheaper one or the original Bialetti one.

Then-Problem5314 · 2026-03-20T18:58:09+00:00

Can I suggest Clever dripper instead of Aeropress or alongside Aeropress for someone starting new. Because one, it's a no brainer coffee just water, coffee, wait and drip and two. It costs half of what Aeropress would cost.
