Hario V60 Dripper - Glass Black - Size 01

What is the Hario V60 dripper glass?

The Hario V60 dripper glass is a manual pour-over brewer made from borosilicate glass. The design features a distinctive 60-degree conical shape with spiral grooves on the inside. Those grooves direct the water evenly through the coffee bed, ensuring even extraction and a clear flavour profile.

Hario developed the V60 in Japan and the model has since become a staple in the specialty coffee world. The glass version in size 2 is suitable for two to four cups of coffee per brew. Glass does not absorb odours or flavours, so the coffee tastes exactly as intended.

Material and construction

Borosilicate glass is heat resistant and scratch resistant. The material conducts heat quickly, which helps keep the brew temperature stable. The black plastic base gives the dripper stability and protects the surface you place it on.

• Conical shape with a 60-degree angle for optimal water flow
• Spiral grooves on the inner wall for even extraction
• Borosilicate glass: heat resistant and flavour neutral
• Size 2: suitable for 2 to 4 cups of coffee
• Large opening at the bottom for free flow

Who is it for?

The Hario V60 dripper glass suits anyone who takes coffee seriously. Whether you are just starting with manual brewing or have been making specialty coffee for years, the V60 gives you full control over the brewing process. You decide the water temperature, pouring speed and grind size.

Beginners

If you are using a pour-over brewer for the first time, the V60 is an accessible starting point. There are many brewing guides and recipes available to walk you through the process step by step. With a little practice you can quickly make a cup with a clear and aromatic flavour profile.

Experienced baristas

For the experienced coffee drinker the V60 dripper glass offers the opportunity to experiment with different brewing techniques. Vary the pouring pattern, water temperature or grind size to influence the coffee's flavour profile. The transparency of the glass also makes it easy to visually follow the brewing process.

How to use the Hario V60 dripper?

Using the Hario V60 dripper glass requires a consistent routine. Place the dripper on a server or mug, put a V60 paper filter size 2 in the dripper and rinse the filter with hot water. This removes paper taste and preheats the dripper. Discard the rinse water before you start brewing.

1. Place the Hario V60 dripper glass on a server or sturdy mug
2. Fold the V60 paper filter size 2 and put it in the dripper
3. Rinse the filter with hot water and discard this water
4. Add ground coffee: use a medium-fine grind
5. Pour a small amount of water first to let the coffee bloom (30 seconds)
6. Then pour the remaining water in circular motions
7. Let the coffee drain completely before removing the dripper

Coffee-to-water ratio

A commonly used ratio is 60 grams of coffee per litre of water. For a single 250 ml cup use about 15 grams of coffee. Adjust this ratio to taste. A finer grind gives a fuller, more intense profile, a coarser grind a lighter cup.

The Hario NEO 01 is a more compact variant suitable for a single cup. For a different brewing style the Chemex is an alternative: it combines dripper and server in one item and uses a thicker filter that retains more coffee oils.

Hario V60 size 1 vs size 2

Size 1 is suitable for one to two cups of coffee. Size 2 is the most commonly used size and is suitable for two to four cups. For household use size 2 is the most practical choice. Size 1 is better for someone who always brews just one cup.
