Know before you buy
The Kasuya Model features a unique, customized rib design that slows down the water flow compared to the standard V60. This allows for better extraction, making it easier to brew a stronger, more flavorful cup even when using a coarser grind.
The 4:6 method is a brewing technique developed by Tetsu Kasuya that divides your total water into two pours: the first 40% to balance sweetness and acidity, and the remaining 60% to control the strength. The dripper's specific rib structure is engineered to support the flow rate required to execute this method consistently.
Yes, the ceramic construction provides excellent heat retention compared to plastic or metal versions. This stability helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the brewing process, which is essential for extracting nuanced flavors from your coffee beans.
Absolutely. While the Size 02 dripper has a capacity of up to four cups, it is perfectly suitable for brewing a single cup. Its design remains effective regardless of whether you are brewing for yourself or a small group.
You should use standard Hario V60 02 paper filters. The dripper is designed to work with the classic cone-shaped filters that are widely available.
Not at all. The ceramic surface is smooth and easy to rinse under warm water. It is also durable enough for regular use, though we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish.
