Timemore has a new pour-over accessory, the Timemore Delta, a base that adds an adjustable flow valve under an ordinary cone dripper. Timemore’s Chinese account announced on October 13 that it would go on sale there on October 15, according to the shopping site SMZDM. It also turned up at Timemore’s booth at SCAJ 2026 in Tokyo. It’s a new take to immersion drippers compared to Hario’s legendary Switch that uses a ball stopper.

What the Timemore Delta does

  • Four flow settings. A red lever on the base sets the flow. According to Timemore, fully closed holds the water so the dripper works as an immersion brewer, like a Clever Dripper. The two middle settings are for staged brews, and fully open gives a fast, regular pour-over. Four markers next to the lever grow in size from one setting to the next.

  • Uses the dripper you have. Timemore says the Delta fits over 90% of cone drippers that have clip tabs and no built-in base. Early owners quoted by SMZDM say it won’t seat a ceramic Hario V60, a Hario Neo or a Hario RF, so check your dripper’s shape first. It’s confirmed to work with Timemore drippers, including the new Vector.

At SCAJ the base was shown with a clear, ribbed cone dripper. It has “TIMEMORE” engraved on the underside and a metal valve at the center.
