Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper, Size 02, White

The Only Pour Over Coffee Maker You Will Need
As I write this review I am sipping on a delicious cup of java made with my beloved Hario pour over coffee maker.I have used this ceramic device virtually every morning since 2019, when I originally purchased it. This means that this review is what I would consider “comprehensive” since the product has been tested for over 5 years, as of now!The ceramic is of very high quality, it definitely stands the test of time. The inside has spiral grooves which helps the coffee flow down through the grounds. It also comes with a handy scoop for measuring your grounds.The size of the maker might be smaller than you would expect, when compared to other pour over makers you may have seen. But do not worry this is not an issue, the size has no effect on the final product (coffee). I believe the size is actually optimal, not too big, not too small. It is the perfect size for a single cup of coffee.After years of brewing coffee with this maker, I have created the ideal method for the perfect cup of Java!First, take your coffee filter and place it in the maker. Pour hot/warm water on it so the entire filter is saturated/wetted with water. This helps mitigate the risk of any type of paper flavor passing into the final cup of coffee. After this, pour out the water from your mug and get ready to start brewing!Put your measured scoop of coffee into the now wetted basket and pour just enough hot water over the grounds so everything is saturated with water. This allows the grounds to “bloom”, which basically means release co2 so you have a more flavorful cup of coffee.Let the grounds “bloom” for about 30 seconds then begin pouring hot water over the grounds until you have made a cup of coffee!TL;DR This is the perfect single pour over coffee maker. I have used mine continually for over 5 years!

Changed my attitude and enjoyment of coffee significantly – and I tried several methods
Wow. That’s all I can say. A long time ago I started with a mid-priced coffee machine, figuring that a “name brand” like Cuisinart should be able to make a good cup of coffee. Was never that great. And when I used my Bialetti espresso maker with ground coffee, I found that the cheaper Bialetti using old tech made a MUCH tastier cup of coffee. But it is a pain to clean and you have to have a stove or very hot electric hot plate capable of boiling water.I moved to a French Press. They are great. Also a rich cup of coffee, tasty, no need for the stove. But even while I was able to avoid too many grinds by using just 7/8 of the available coffee in the pot, I found that the result wasn’t always consistent. Some coffee didn’t work as well as others. And cleaning wasn’t fun or simple to scoop out the coffee, waste a ton of water cleaning it out and then letting it air dry.So I wanted to try a dripper – Chemex? I saw varying reviews and the negatives against the Chemex were significant, which included need a big glass pot which would collect coffee that I’d then pour into another cup while using very expensive Chemex filters – which may still be well worth it no matter what coffee making method you use. The carafe was also $40 while the Hario was only $15 and a no-lose proposition. I opted for the Hario filters and made my first cup of coffee with it – the same coffee I have used in the Cuisinart, the french press and now the Hario.Wow. I’m not a total coffee snob using the typical coffee adjectives. But my taste buds immediately could understand the tremendous difference in what the SAME coffee can taste like using different methods and a good filter. Using the slow pour method from my kettle, making as little direct contact with the filter paper, I made myself a cup. The negative – it took a bit longer, required my manual labor instead of letting the machines do their thing – but oh, the results. Wow. The need for sugar with other methods (especially the machine) suddenly was not necessary here. The coffee was rich — like a cup of frothy hot cocoa if I can compare. None of the sour / bitter / acid (?) taste which led me to add sugar was present using the Hario and the method. It tasted much like the coffee I’ve had in a great coffee house. My friend’s machine cost several hundred instead of the $80 of my Cuisinart. I’m guessing that it just automated the process properly such as having the water preheated and slowly dripped at the right temperature. THAT is the result I got from using the Hario.At around $7 for 100 filters, that comes to what – 7 cents per cup of coffee? For the convenience, the ability to have the richness and flavor that good coffee can provide, this $15 dripper is a no-lose investment. I chose the ceramic, which is beautiful to look at, very easy to clean, and leaves none of that “tinny” taste you may get with metal or that unpleasant smell / taste that is usually found from plastic. This is a winner.

Porta filtro de porcelana de excelente qualidade, mantendo a temperatura da água durante a filtragem do café. Por isso, melhor que preta filtro de plástico. Além disso, o utensílio é bonito, agradando quem gosta de preparar o café. Como todo produto da Hario, é de alta qualidade. Recomendo.

Rien à redire. Qualité de fabrication, facile à nettoyer.

En una cocina pequeña es de agradecer que se diseñen productos como éste que cumple su función y ocupa poco espacio.Me gusta que sea de cerámica ya que estoy eliminando los plásticos de uso culinario por aquello de los disruptores endocrinos.Estéticamente es muy resultona.
