Why the V60 is Different: Science Meets Artistry
The 60° Angle: Perfect Coffee Geometry
The "V60" name comes from the dripper's precisely engineered 60-degree cone angle—the optimal geometry for maximum coffee extraction. This steeper angle creates deeper layering of coffee grounds compared to flat-bottom drippers, allowing for:
- Longer contact time between water and coffee
- More complete extraction of flavor compounds
- Enhanced sweetness and complexity in the final cup
- Better accentuation of floral and fruit notes in high-quality beans
Spiral Ribs: Controlled Expansion & Air Flow
The V60's signature spiral ribbing isn't just aesthetic—it's functional engineering:
- Creates air pockets between the paper filter and ceramic walls
- Prevents filter collapse that can cause channeling and uneven extraction
- Allows coffee bed expansion during blooming for consistent water contact
- Guides water flow in a controlled spiral pattern for even saturation
Single Large Opening: Ultimate Pour Control
Unlike multi-hole drippers that dictate flow rate, the V60's single large bottom opening gives you complete control:
- Pour quickly for a lighter, more delicate body
- Pour slowly for richer, fuller-bodied coffee
- Adjust mid-brew to fine-tune extraction
- Experiment freely to develop your perfect technique
This freedom makes the V60 both beginner-friendly and endlessly rewarding for advanced brewers seeking precision control.
Handmade Arita Ceramic: 400 Years of Japanese Craftsmanship
Handmade Arita Ceramic: 400 Years of Japanese Craftsmanship
Traditional Arita-Yaki Porcelain
Each Hario V60 ceramic dripper is handcrafted from Arita-yaki, a legendary style of Japanese porcelain with a 400-year heritage. Produced in the historic pottery town of Arita, these drippers represent the meeting point of ancient ceramic artistry and modern coffee science.
Why Ceramic Matters for Coffee
Superior Heat Retention: Ceramic's thermal mass absorbs and maintains heat far better than plastic or glass alternatives. This means:
- Your dripper stays hot throughout the brewing process
- Water temperature remains stable for consistent extraction
- Coffee doesn't cool prematurely during brewing
- Better results, especially in cooler kitchens
Even Heat Distribution: The thick ceramic walls distribute heat uniformly across the entire coffee bed, preventing hot spots or cool zones that cause uneven extraction.
Pure, Clean Flavor: Ceramic is completely non-reactive and non-porous—it won't absorb oils, flavors, or odors. Every brew tastes exactly as it should, with no interference from previous coffees or residual flavors.
Exceptional Durability: Quality porcelain is highly resistant to chips, cracks, and thermal shock. With proper care, your V60 will deliver perfect coffee for decades.
Dishwasher Safe: The glazed ceramic construction is fully dishwasher safe for effortless cleaning, though hand washing preserves the finish longest.
Classic White Finish: Form Meets Function
Pure Minimalism, Serious Brewing
The pristine white glaze embodies timeless minimalist design while maintaining the V60's functional excellence. This isn't just a brewing tool—it's a beautiful object that brings clean, elegant simplicity to your coffee ritual.
Timeless Aesthetic: The classic white finish is the original V60 colorway, offering pure, understated elegance that complements any kitchen style—from modern minimalist to traditional to Scandinavian design.
Professional Standard: White is the most common color in specialty coffee shops worldwide, giving your home brewing setup an authentic, professional appearance.
Clean & Bright: The white ceramic creates a clean, fresh aesthetic that makes your coffee bar feel organized and intentional, while highlighting the beautiful colors of freshly brewed coffee.
Versatile Pairing: White pairs effortlessly with any mug color, countertop material, or kitchen décor, making it the most versatile choice for those who value classic design.

Frequently Asked Questions
The V60 01 size requires Hario V60 01 paper filters specifically. These are smaller than the more common 02 filters. Make sure to order 01 size—02 filters are too large and won't fit properly.
Absolutely! The V60 sits perfectly on standard coffee mugs (ensure the mug has a 3"+ opening). Many people brew directly into their favorite mug for single servings. For larger batches, use a carafe or server.
Yes! The V60 01 is designed to sit perfectly on standard coffee mugs. Ensure your mug has at least a 3" opening for stability. This is one of the best features of the 01—no separate server needed.
Size 01 is designed for 1-2 cups (12-24g coffee) while size 02 handles 1-4 cups (15-40g coffee). The 01 is 30% smaller and optimized specifically for solo brewing. If you primarily brew for one, choose the 01.
The 01 maxes out around 24g coffee (about 11-12oz brewed coffee). For anything larger, you'd need the 02 size. The 01 is intentionally sized for single servings.
Yes, if you value heat retention and aesthetics. Ceramic maintains temperature better during brewing, improving extraction consistency. It's also more beautiful and durable long-term. Plastic is fine for travel or budget constraints.
No, 02 filters are too large and won't fit properly. You must use V60 01 size filters specifically.
Absolutely! The smaller size actually makes it more forgiving—less area to cover means easier even saturation. It's perfect for learning pour-over technique.
Functionally identical—all ceramic V60s perform the same regardless of color. White is the classic, most versatile option that matches any kitchen aesthetic.
The V60 is designed for hot pour-over coffee, not cold brew. For cold brew, use an immersion method like a French press or dedicated cold brew system.
Medium-fine, similar to table salt. The 01 uses the same grind as the 02. Start here and adjust based on taste: finer for more extraction, coarser for less.
