hey Patrik, does the silicone material gives rubbery taste to the coffee? i remember u mentioned when reviewing the hario switch.

That’s a good question. I personally have never gotten a rubber taste from the switch.

We wrote a reply to @brainwrite but in short after the initial unboxing and rinsing we haven't had any issues with it. But part of launching and using it during the World of Coffee in Copenhagen was to give it a proper test before we release the final version after the summer.

We are aiming to put it online after the summer. We brewed 1000+ coffees with it during the World of Coffee in Copenhagen and based on that experience we will do a few adjustments and launch it again. The initial batch was a limited amount specifically for the World of Coffee.

Hey Patrik, My april brewer is my daily driver, and ironically, an upgrade from the Hario Switch. I'm remembering your original video on the Hario Switch included a critique that the cups tasted 'rubbery.' Suddenly I couldn't help but detect that too (perhaps subconsciously). Have you taken any steps to mitigate that potential?
@coffeewithapril2 ай бұрын
We have tried out a lot of different materials. And so far we haven't noticed any rubber taste in the coffee apart from perhaps the aroma that comes from when first unboxing it. But we brewed a thousand + cups during the World of Coffee using the hybrid and it worked out really well.

cool to have the Hario Switch in a different form factor. I wonder if they ran into any legal trouble with the similarities.

Perfect! I like the mechanism on the Hario Switch, so it's great that you went with that design. Together with the Switch I already, they cover 4 basic styles. Perfect excuse to drink more coffee :)
@coffeewithapril2 ай бұрын
It's the same ball mechanism, that originally is developed by another brand. And we have adapted the classic April Wings and fit to be specific to our April Brewer. After the WOC in Copenhagen ,and brewing a lot of coffee with the brewer, we will adjust and adapt even more upgrades to our design.

The top part is basically identical to the regular April Glass Brewer, the only difference is the outside base, that is designed to fit into the hybrid function. That said, you are not able to fit the original design of the April Glass Brewer into the new Hybrid function.

No, it's a development done based on our April Brewers which have always been flat bed brewers. The ball mechanism is similar but that's been around a long time before.

@@karimchahine4883 I 'switched' the glas of my Hario Switch with the plastic cone of the Hario Mugen. It's cheap, you don't need to preheat it and it's much less likely to break. You can find youtube videos that describe that 'switch' 😉 And in addition you can also brew in the Mugen style (Switch open, and one single 15s pour of the whole amount of water). An interesting way of brewing. 😉

it looks good but I do not trust silicone or plastic in my coffee. brewing with silicone with water over 90c does not fancy me no matter what research is out today. many cases where something was considered safe and later found to be harmful. plastic and boiling water seems to be the combination to do it.

I think if you brew like that the brewer geometry is almost irrelevant no? Its a full immersion brew that gets filtered. BTW, the method you suggested works very well for the Switch. maybe Patrik should try this side by side and check flavor differences.
