What customers say
Enthusiasts highly value the Hario Shizuku for its superior cold brew quality, consistently noting the exceptionally clean and smooth flavor profile it produces.

Know before you buy
Unlike immersion brewing where grounds sit in water for 12-24 hours, the Shizuku uses a slow, gravity-fed drip process. This extracts coffee over 1-2 hours, resulting in a cleaner, more aromatic concentrate that avoids the heavy, sometimes muddy profile of immersion methods.
The brewer has a total capacity of 20 fluid ounces (600ml), which is roughly equivalent to 4 cups of coffee concentrate.
No, the components are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing the glass and plastic parts with mild soap to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Yes, the Hario Shizuku uses paper filters to ensure a clean, sediment-free extraction. You should ensure you have the appropriate size paper filters on hand for your brewing sessions.
The Shizuku is designed with a fixed, optimized drip rate to ensure consistent extraction. It is a manual system that relies on gravity, so there are no electronic controls to adjust.
The brewer is crafted from high-quality Hario heatproof glass, which is durable and designed for regular use. While it is sturdy, it should be handled with the same care as any other high-end glass kitchenware to prevent accidental breakage.
