What customers say
Users overwhelmingly praise the Hario V60 Metal Dripper for its superior quality and durability. The robust metal construction is a significant upgrade, instilling confidence in its longevity for daily use. A key advantage is the metal's excellent heat retention, which stabilizes brewing temperature for optimal extraction and consistently delicious coffee. Beyond performance, the sleek black design is frequently noted as stylish and modern. While the initial cost is higher, customers agree that the enhanced thermal properties, exceptional build, and lasting value fully justify the investment. It remains a top-tier pour-over tool for serious enthusiasts.
Know before you buy
Yes, stainless steel is more thermally conductive than ceramic or plastic. We recommend pre-heating the dripper with hot water before adding your coffee grounds to ensure your brew temperature remains stable throughout the extraction.
No, this model is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the matte black finish and prevent any potential surface damage, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and a soft cloth.
This is a size 02 dripper, so it requires standard Hario V60 size 02 cone-shaped paper filters. These are widely available and designed to fit the specific 60-degree angle of the Hario cone.
The metal version is virtually indestructible and lightweight, making it an excellent choice for travel or a busy kitchen. While it lacks the heat retention of ceramic, it offers a more consistent and durable brewing experience that won't crack if dropped.
The dripper is designed to sit securely on top of most standard coffee mugs or decanters. Because the stainless steel body can get hot during the brewing process, we recommend handling it by the rim or using a towel if you need to move it immediately after pouring.
