Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper

The Hario V60 ceramic coffee dripper is my favourite pour over brewer on the market and although I have broken a few so far (I think I’m on my third now) It consistently delivers top draw coffee, it’s easy to use and clean and when paired with a thermos Hario server becomes a formidable.

Now, the V60 is one of the most popular, if not the most popular brewer in the world because of its clarity, acidity, and overall nice job at extracting the greatest notes in the coffee.

The Hario V60 remains the best pour over dripper for brewers who want clarity, control, and room to improve. It can produce bright, transparent coffee with remarkable separation between flavours. It can also punish sloppy pouring and uneven grinding.

This is a kind of "gold standard" among pourovers.

For many coffee lovers, coffee from a drip V60 is the benchmark in the world of speciality coffee. It is also one of the most popular choices for learning, as it clearly shows how grind size, proportions and technique influence flavour.

So, the V60 is a classic barista tool of the coffee industry.

Whilst I haven't had them long, they have given me much joy and the manufacturing appears to be of high quality. Choosing between different systems (Hario, Chemex, etc.) was difficult but it feels like I've made the right choice.

Overall, the Hario V60 ceramic coffee dripper size02 in white is an excellent choice for those who appreciate the art of pour over coffee and want a reliable, stylish dripper that delivers consistent results.

The V60 Size 02 is great for making 1-4 cups of coffee. I appreciate it might be a little too involved for a busy weekday morning, but for lazy weekends, you can’t go wrong. Plus it’s dirt cheap and takes up very little room.

My coffee brewed with the V60 was vibrant and nuanced, with a medium body and clean mouthfeel. This is always the dripper I pull out when I’ve spent way too much money on specialty coffee beans.

If you want to brew world-class filter coffee, consider the Hario V60. This pour over coffee dripper has been favored by most recent world champions (aka Brewers Cup winners) for a good reason.

It is far easier to make the desired amount with the V60, especially if only making a cup or two, and the results are consistently good.

Want out of the plastic question for the least money? The Hario V60 ceramic 02 ($30.50), on the same papers you already own.

Yet this masterpiece of Japanese design is generally regarded to produce the single best cup of coffee humanly possible.

Verdict: Unforgiving on pour technique, but nothing else at this price gets as close to specialty-cafe results.

We love the delicate cup of coffee the V60 makes; we find it perfect for finding tasting notes in new coffees!

It’s this level of detail that elevates your V60 from good to great.

The best pour-over dripper available — worth the learning curve

If you want the simplest possible manual brewer, the V60 may not be the best first choice. If you want a cheap brewer that can produce outstanding coffee once you learn how to use it, it’s brilliant.

The Hario V60 can make some exceptional coffee, but it can also be surprisingly sensitive to your technique, the coffee, and even the paper filter you use. Change one of those variables, and your fast 2 and 1/2 minute clean brew can suddenly become 5 minutes. The new Hario Alpha keeps the familiar 60° cone, but completely changes the internal geometry. Instead of the V60's raised spiral ribs, it uses 12 concave channels to hold the filter closer to the walls and guide water down through the brewer. The Alpha is made in Taiwan from lightweight, shatter-resistant Tritan plastic. It uses the standard V60 01 filter and is currently only available as the 1 to 2 cup 01 brewer.

Perhaps just as famous as the Kalita Wave 185 we love, the V60 makes a great cup of coffee. Its cone-shaped filters leave slightly less room for error, though.

I agree it’s a great kit for the price and you can’t really go wrong, but if someone is asking, I think there are options they might like better.

That said, it punishes a careless pour. Pour too fast, and water runs straight through, leaving weak coffee.

But if you got all the bells and whistles kind of kettle, ceramic is best, and pretty too.
