HARIOV60 Plastic Coffee Dripper, Size 02, Clear

I'm the only coffee drinker in my family. This thing is perfect. No waste. Cheap. Takes up very little space. Makes great coffee. It takes a little longer than using a machine, but the coffee is better and it comes out hotter than any coffee maker I've ever owned. Sometimes simpler is better.

I recently purchased the Hario V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper in size 02 and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The clear plastic allows me to see the brewing process in action and the size 02 is perfect for making a single cup of coffee. The design of the dripper allows for precise pouring and control over the brewing process, resulting in a delicious and well-balanced cup of coffee. Clean-up is a breeze and the plastic construction is lightweight, making it easy to take on the go. I would highly recommend this coffee dripper to any coffee lover looking for a simple and affordable way to make great coffee at home.

I would recommend combining this with an electric kettle, if you don't already own one. I found one on sale at Target for $12, and these two pieces, combined, are the best $20 coffee maker you can buy. (I still use this setup many days when I don't want to bother with the $800 espresso machine my husband bought us for Christmas.)You can watch a lot of videos about the proper way to make pour over coffee. You should probably watch one or two. I don't think it's necessary to stress about all the details. Most of the importance is being a little bit slow about everything. One thing I took away from the videos I watched is that the first pour of water on the grounds should be just enough to get them all wet. Something about "opening them up." Imagine loose leaf tea leaves opening up in hot water, except you can't really see it, because coffee grounds are too small. I give them a moment on this step, usually just long enough to throw a ball down the hall for my cat a couple times. Then all the pros pour water slowly, in spirals. I base whether my spirals are starting from the outside or the inside on where the most coffee is piled up at this point, thinking about herding it away from where it is, towards where it isn't, either outside or center. I usually use 1.5 scoops of coffee (from the scoop included with the cone) for a 16 oz mug, and it fills up in about two slow pours to about 3/4 inch from the top of the cone. There are more advanced techniques out there, if you care to learn them, but, without too much stress over the details, I get in a little morning meditation on the life of coffee beans (bonus meditation if you add milk and watch it slowly swirl around), a really good cup of coffee, and my cat shows up whenever I start the electric kettle, so it's sort of fun for the whole family.Cleanup couldn't be easier. Give the filter full of grounds a little squeeze against the side of the cone, throw it out, rinse the cone, and it's ready for the next day.

This is my go to pour over dripper. Love the ease of use , design and the price. Would definitely recommend the plastic one as it has the best heat retention. Would also recommend size 2 as it is perfect for brewing large batch or just a simple one cup as well. Highly durable and I have gotten a lot of use out of it. Super easy to clean and store away.Can’t recommend it enough.

This brewer is amazing, it's one of the 2 industry standards. There's a lot of misconceptions in reviews of this brewer regarding "how it makes coffee" that I want to help clear up if I can.This brewer doesn't make coffee, you do!So the coffee you put in and how you pour the water over it determines how good of coffee comes out the other end but this brewer does have differences from other brewers that allow you to make coffee differently, let me point some of those out.- Most notably the V60 has a large hole in the bottom so what that means is that when you pour the water over the ground coffee, the brewer provides no resistance slowing down the brew, meaning that if your brew is taking too short or too long, you need to change the coarseness or fineness of you coffee's grind. Do you buy pre-ground coffee? Then maybe you should take a look at the other industry standard, the Kalita Wave, a flat bottom dripper that has 3 tiny holes in the bottom that slow your brew, so you won't have to worry about having a perfect grind.g ribs on the V60 allows there to be some space between the paper filter and the brewer which keeps the brewer from suctioning to your cup or serving glass.- There are other knock off's of this brewer (like the bialetti) that are much cheaper and may preform similarly, this one is just manufactured better and with a lot more care in the way that it handles your brew. Is the extra price worth it? That's for you to decide, as for me I prefer to have the real thing, the same thing that everyone else uses and that I know assists me best in making a good cup of coffee.To sum it all up, I would recommend this brewer to anyone interested in making better coffee who's willing to put in some more effort (and money) to do so. If that's what you want to do then I'd definitely recommend looking at some pour over guides on youtube, my favorites are from James Hoffmann and Chris Baca.If you don't really want to waste extra effort or money trying to make the best cup you can, I'd recommend going with something a little less complex like the kalita wave.That's my 2 cents, have a great day :)
