Know before you buy
Yes, this dripper is designed to be used with Hario 02 size paper filters. Using the correct size ensures the proper fit and flow rate for the best extraction.
Ceramic is excellent at retaining heat, which helps maintain a consistent water temperature throughout the brewing cycle. It is recommended to pre-heat the dripper with hot water before adding your coffee grounds to prevent the ceramic from absorbing heat from your brew.
Not at all. The V60 is dishwasher safe, or you can simply rinse it with warm water and mild soap after each use. Its minimal, open design makes it very easy to wipe down.
The spiral ribs are essential for airflow. They prevent the paper filter from sticking to the walls of the dripper, allowing air to escape and ensuring the coffee grounds are fully saturated for an even extraction.
The 02 size is versatile and can brew anywhere from 1 to 4 cups of coffee at a time. This makes it a great choice for both solo morning brews and serving a small group.
While not strictly required, a gooseneck kettle is highly recommended. The V60’s single-hole design relies on your pour speed to control the flavor, and a gooseneck kettle provides the precision needed to manage that flow effectively.
