HARIO
V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper
A single-cup pour-over dripper. Suitable for those interested in improving their coffee without investing in a machine.
$30.50
The Hario V60 is a porcelain cone designed to sit atop a mug. Place a paper filter inside, add ground coffee, and pour hot water in a spiral motion to brew. It produces one to four cups, depending on the mug size.
Its compact design allows for easy storage in a cabinet. The cone shape and spiral ridges promote even water flow, enhancing coffee extraction compared to standard drip machines.
V60 size 02 paper filters are required (sold separately), along with a method for heating water. This product serves as a practical upgrade for those who already own a kettle and consume coffee daily.
Why it works
- Produces better coffee than a standard drip machine.
- Compact design requires no additional counter space.
- Compatible with the V60 system for future expansion.
Who it's for
- Individuals who drink coffee daily and want to explore pour-over brewing.
- Friends with a kettle looking to transition from a Keurig.
What to know
- Requires V60 size 02 paper filters, which are not included.
- Certain finishes may not be dishwasher-safe; verify the color before purchasing.
- Requires practice to master the pour timing.
