Hario V60 NEO Hario others
WBrC 2026 Fifth Place
Ethan Junseong Park's fifth-place routine from the 2026 World Brewers Cup in Brussels. A V60 Neo on a Switch base: a hot bloom and percolation with the valve open, then a cool immersion with the valve closed — the temperature drop keeps the finish sweet and clean.

Hario Switch (immersion base) Required
The Hario Switch's valved base, used underneath other drippers (OREA Z1, 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.
