but if you use a three pour technique
Not a great start, the reason I switched from v60 to the clever was because of my toddlers grabbing at my leg and making it a nightmare.
But I’m also using different water temperatures for my pours.
Erm, definitely no.
It also looks much nicer IMO.
This is definitely true.
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.
I'm trying to reduce plastic use too, swapped all my tupperware to glass for example, but I don't think 2 mins in the dripper is a big problem.
Still might get one though.

Its funny how much kids are mentioned in this thread as a means to finding a more streamlined coffee routine.
I have made traditional V60s since getting the Switch and they are so average (still good but average by comparison) that I don't think I can go back to traditional pourover. Also being able to drink your coffee immediately due to the lower temperature third pour is a revelation.
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.

But if you already have a Clever, there's no reason to buy a Switch anyway.
