V60

A conical pour-over dripper invented by Hario, with spiral ridges and a single large hole at the bottom.

Category: Brew Methods — Non-Espresso

A cone-shaped pour-over dripper made by Hario, with a 60-degree angle (hence the name), spiral ribs along the inside walls, and a single large hole at the bottom.

Why it matters — The V60 is the most influential pour-over dripper in modern specialty coffee. The geometry encourages even extraction when the pour technique is good, and rewards careful technique with exceptional clarity.

Good to know

Comes in ceramic, glass, plastic, and metal. Ceramic holds heat best; plastic is ideal for travel.
The single large hole means pour speed directly affects extraction — pour faster for a coarser-tasting cup, slower for more extraction.
