Hario
Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper 02 — Canyon | Pour Over Coffee Brewer
Description
The dripper that defined a generation of specialty coffee. The Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper 02 in Canyon is handcrafted in Japan from traditional Arita-yaki ceramic — a 400-year-old Japanese pottery tradition — and engineered to give you total control over your pour over brew. Clean, minimal, and beautifully made.
Pour Over, Your Way
Since its introduction in 2005, the Hario V60 has become the most widely used manual dripper in specialty coffee — in home kitchens, competition brewbars, and cafés around the world. There's a reason it's everywhere: it works. The V60's elegant simplicity gives you direct control over every variable that matters — grind size, water temperature, pour rate, and contact time — and rewards the effort with a clean, nuanced, extraordinarily expressive cup.
The Dune colorway brings a warm, earthy taupe finish to the iconic silhouette, making it as beautiful on your counter as it is functional in your hands.
What Makes the V60 Different
- 60° Conical Angle — the cone shape creates a deeper coffee bed than flat-bottomed brewers, allowing water to flow toward the center and extend contact time with the grounds for a more even, expressive extraction.
- Spiral Ribs — the interior spiral ridges create air pockets between the ceramic and paper filter, allowing coffee grounds to expand fully during the bloom and promoting even saturation throughout the brew.
- Single Large Hole — unlike restricted-flow drippers, the V60's open bottom gives you complete control. Pour slowly for a heavier, bolder body; pour quickly for a lighter, more delicate cup.
- Arita-yaki Ceramic Construction — made from a traditional style of Japanese ceramic with a 400-year history, each dripper is handcrafted by a local artisan in Japan. Ceramic retains heat exceptionally well, maintaining a stable brewing temperature from start to finish.
- Brews 1–4 Cups — versatile enough for a single cup or a full server for guests.
- Dishwasher Safe — easy cleanup, no fuss.
- Small Footprint — sits neatly on most mugs and carafes. Compact enough for small kitchens and travel kits.
- Measuring Spoon Included — polypropylene measuring spoon comes in the box.
Pro Tips for the Best V60 Brew
- Pre-heat the dripper with hot water before brewing to maximize heat retention and stabilize temperature throughout extraction.
- Use a gooseneck kettle for precise, controlled pouring — essential for consistent results.
- Bloom your grounds first: pour just enough water to saturate them (about 2x the coffee weight) and wait 30–45 seconds before continuing.
- Use Hario 02 paper filters, sold separately.

About Hario
If you're searching for an eco-friendly coffee brand with a rich heritage, look no further than Hario—the self-proclaimed "King of Glass." Established in Tokyo in 1921, Hario originally focused on creating heatproof glass for medical and laboratory purposes, showcasing their commitment to precision and quality from day one.
Through extensive research and development, Hario created glass made from 100% natural materials, demonstrating their unwavering dedication to environmental sustainability. Their commitment didn't stop there—they pioneered a revolutionary approach to glass manufacturing, proving that glass could be produced using electricity instead of oil, dramatically reducing pollution and promoting a cleaner planet.
In 1948, Hario expanded from laboratory equipment to household products, bringing their expertise in precision manufacturing to everyday coffee and tea brewing. Today, their product line includes the iconic V60 drippers, precision kettles in multiple finishes, manual grinders, brewing scales, filters, and more—all designed with the same attention to quality and environmental responsibility that has defined the brand for over a century.
Frequently Asked Questions
The V60 02 size requires Hario V60 02 paper filters. These are widely available in white (bleached) or natural (unbleached) options. Make sure to get 02 size specifically—01 filters are too small, 03 filters are too large.
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.
- Ceramic: Best heat retention, handmade artisan quality, heaviest, most fragile
- Glass: Excellent heat retention, lets you see coffee bed, moderate weight
- Plastic: Lightweight, unbreakable, ideal for travel, doesn't retain heat as well
For home use, ceramic offers the best brewing performance and aesthetic appeal.
If you value exceptional heat retention (which improves extraction consistency), artisan craftsmanship, and premium aesthetics, yes. The ceramic V60 performs measurably better than plastic in maintaining stable water temperature throughout brewing.
Pour boiling water through the rinsed filter for 10-15 seconds. This warms the thick ceramic walls, ensuring they won't cool your brewing water. Discard the rinse water before adding coffee grounds.
The V60 is designed for hot pour-over coffee, not cold brew. For cold brew, consider an immersion brewer like a French press or dedicated cold brew tower.
Rinse immediately after brewing to prevent coffee oils from drying. The glazed ceramic is dishwasher safe, though hand washing with warm soapy water extends the glaze's pristine appearance. Handle with care to avoid chips or cracks.
Medium-fine, similar to table salt or slightly finer than drip coffee. Start here and adjust based on taste: finer for more extraction, coarser for less. Your grinder quality significantly impacts results.
Your grind is too fine, causing slow drainage. Adjust your grinder to a slightly coarser setting. Aim for 2:30-4:00 total brew time.
Not strictly necessary, but highly recommended. A gooseneck spout provides the controlled, precise pouring that the V60's design rewards. Regular kettles make consistent, even saturation much more difficult.
While designed for coffee, you can use the V60 with loose leaf tea if you use a paper filter. However, dedicated tea brewers allow better leaf expansion and steeping control.
Yes! The ceramic V60 02 is frequently used in barista competitions and World Brewers Cup events. You're getting the same tool professionals trust for championship-level brewing.
