UFO Dripper Misc pourover
Switch High
UFO V2 mounted on a Hario Switch base for a hybrid immersion-then-percolation brew. Two minutes of vigorous-spoon immersion pulls flavor, then the switch opens to drain, and two more pours finish the cup. Pushes extraction higher than straight pour-over.

Hario Switch (immersion base) Required
The Hario Switch's valved base, used underneath other drippers (Hario V60 NEO, Sibarist UFO) to add stop-and-go immersion. Here it is required as an add-on base, not as the standalone brewer.
