THE SECRET FEATURE I HID FROM THE DAY ONE
Before Solo even launched, I asked myself a question. Why make an immersion version? I wanted ultimate consistency for competition rounds, and a reliable workflow for busy baristas. But I refused to take the lazy route. I didn't want a generic silicone adapter, heavy bypass, or a completely new dripper design.
My goal was simple. One base to rule them all. I wanted you to use what you already own, locking both your original Solo V1 (PP small) and the brand-new Solo V2 (Tritan big) into a single, seamless immersion base.
The secret? The exterior ribs. Everyone thought they were just for leveling the dripper on a server. In reality, they were engineered from day one to act as our locking mechanism. It took months of testing different silicone stiffness levels to get it perfect, but it works flawlessly.
To make the new Solo V2 happen, we went straight to the factory to build a completely new mold from scratch for the premium Tritan material.
The man you see in these photos has been behind every single piece of Solo since the first days. Alongside him are four other vital people behind the scenes. My 3D printing guy, my mold constructors, and my spin mechanism guy.
These five people are the backbone of Solo. They have worked effortlessly to bring this vision to life. I truly hope you love this new evolution. Not just because it is a great new product, but because of the incredible craftsmanship and hard work they poured into it.
The new Solo is dropping very soon in a limited quantity.
Stay tuned!
BEHIND THE SCENES
Before the very first Solo was ever released to the world, I found myself asking a fundamental question. Why should I make an immersion version of the Solo? What is the real purpose behind it?
Back then, I was using the Hario Switch for the compulsory round of competitions because it allowed me to control for ultimate consistency. Immersion brewing is also incredibly practical for specialty cafes. With a solid recipe, baristas can easily and accurately replicate the exact same cup for every customer. These were the core reasons that pushed me to start working on an immersion version.
