I like the look of the switch but they're a bit small aren't they? The beauty of the clever is I can just dump 500ml of water in there and forget about it. With the switch isn't the only way of doing 500ml is to do a hybrid pour over and immersion method? Then I might as well just do a normal pour over?

I am currently brewing 500ml as I write this message. It technically only holds 360ml but if you use a three pour technique - which is now my daily driver method - then it’s no big deal anyway. But I’m also using different water temperatures for my pours.
With 30g of coffee, I am doing two 90ml pours at 96° (for very light coffee) followed by a 320ml pour at 76°, so the 360ml capacity doesn’t matter.
The difference in this versus a v60 is that it’s so foolproof. I haven’t made a single average cup in a month of using it. Everything has been genuinely fantastic.
It also looks much nicer IMO.
I don’t particularly like the idea of boiling water being in contact with plastic for 4 minutes nowadays so this is much better for myself.
But if you already have a Clever, there's no reason to buy a Switch anyway.

Get a Hario Switch instead. Glass. Superior design anyway imo. Easier to mix both immersion and percolation by just flicking a switch instead of having to remove and replace the whole brewer from a cup.
