Hario V60

The size 01 is designed for brewing a single cup, typically up to 300ml, while the size 02 is larger and can brew up to 500ml or more. Choose the 01 if you primarily brew for yourself, or the 02 if you want the flexibility to brew larger batches or share with others.

The plastic V60 is an excellent heat insulator, meaning it absorbs less heat from your brewing water than ceramic or metal alternatives. This helps maintain a more stable brewing temperature throughout the extraction process, resulting in a more consistent cup.

Yes, you must use Hario V60-specific paper filters. Their unique conical shape and paper thickness are engineered to fit the dripper's ridges perfectly and provide the specific flow rate required for a clean, bright extraction.

Absolutely. The plastic used is high-quality, BPA-free, and heat-resistant, making it incredibly durable and lightweight. It is less prone to breaking than ceramic or glass, making it a reliable choice for daily brewing or travel.

While not strictly required, a gooseneck kettle is highly recommended. The V60 relies on precise water distribution to ensure even extraction, and the narrow spout of a gooseneck kettle gives you the control needed to saturate the coffee grounds evenly.
