Hario V60 Dripper, Transparent, Size 01

What is the Hario V60 dripper?

The Hario V60 dripper is a cone-shaped coffee filter from the Japanese brand Hario. The name refers to the 60° angle of the cone. That shape, together with the spiral ribs on the inside, allows water to flow evenly through the coffee grounds.

The V60 drip method is a pour over technique where hot water is poured slowly over ground coffee. The result is a clear, aromatic cup with many flavour details. Hario has been making the dripper for decades in Japan and is known for durable materials and consistent quality.

Available materials

• Transparent plastic – lightweight, impact resistant and affordable
• Hario V60 ceramic – retains heat well, heavier
• Glass – visually attractive, fragile if knocked
• Metal – durable and suitable for outdoor use

The V60 transparent plastic size 01 is a popular choice for home use. The plastic is BPA-free and resistant to high water temperatures. That makes it a safe and practical material for daily use.

Who is it for?

The Hario V60 dripper suits anyone who wants to brew coffee consciously. Both beginners and experienced baristas use it daily. The design is simple, yet it gives you a lot of control over the final result.

How to use the Hario V60 dripper?

Brewing with the Hario V60 requires a little preparation. Place the dripper on a mug or V60 server. Put a V60 filter paper in the cone and rinse it with hot water. This removes paper taste and preheats the dripper.

Step by step

1. Grind 15 grams of coffee to medium-fine for size 01
2. Heat water to 90–96 °C
3. Rinse the filter and discard the water
4. Add the ground coffee to the filter
5. Pour 30 ml of water over the grounds and wait 30 seconds (bloom)
6. Slowly pour the remaining water in circles over 2–3 minutes
7. Allow the water to fully drain and remove the dripper

Tips for a better V60 brew time

Use a gooseneck kettle for a precise and even water stream. A coffee scale helps you maintain the correct coffee-to-water ratio. Ideal total V60 brew time is between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes. If the coffee tastes too sour, grind slightly finer. If it is too bitter, grind slightly coarser.

Features & specifications

The Hario V60 dripper size 01 is designed for one to two cups of coffee. The cone shape with a 60° angle creates a longer contact time between water and coffee. The spiral ribs keep the filter away from the wall so air can escape.

Hario V60 Switch

The Hario V60 Switch has a valve at the bottom. This lets you steep the coffee before releasing it, giving a fuller flavour similar to immersion brewing. The standard V60 dripper lets the water flow continuously.

V60 vs other drippers

The V60 has one large hole at the bottom, so flow rate depends on your pouring speed and grind size. Other cone drippers may have multiple small holes that regulate flow more. The V60 therefore gives the brewer more control over the final result. If you prefer less control, choose a dripper with a fixed flow time.
