V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper

We are in the process of setting up a new home and wanted to find an alternative to a large and expensive coffee machine. I knew of the individual cup filter dripper option so we decided to give this Hario V60 (size 2) japanese product a go. I didn't know about this particular brand but the product stood out in the Amazon listing and it came with a matching design (red colour) measuring cup. For the price, it already seemed a good deal.I don't know how to explain it, but using it feels like the filter dripper has decades of thought, design and quality control gone into it.With all the challenges we are facing, it is a pleasure to take a break and use this product because it feels like it has been made with so much caring thought.The dripper sat sturdy on a wide mug. No adjusting needed. I even wondered how much difference the ceramic dripper would make. The plastic one has a heavy feel.The size 2 paper filter fitted the dripper like a glove in a millisecond. It stood against the sides without needing any adjusting.In seconds, I had a creamy looking filter coffee that tasted delicious. The water pour kind of vortexed quickly into the cup without lumping the coffee into "unused coffee islands". The resulting coffee was clear and very strong (just half of the measuring cup for 2 medium mugs). This was the strongest I have ever had with the same coffee brand and filtered, boiled water. Brand new coffee bag.It was very easy to clean and feels like it won't easily scratch or stain at all. I washed it with the soft sponge side but might just use a water rinse in future. Not sure it needs dish soap.The only "challenge" was getting the coffee into the measuring cup, but we have somewhere a glass, sealed lid container with a wide opening to scoop the coffee from, which will be perfect for it.For the price, it is a bargain in my experience: it saves space, makes filter coffee as easy to prepare as instant but a lot more flavoursome and with the true oumph we look for in our daily brew-break.Its quality brings comfort and positivity. It makes you want to care about making the most and the best of the day. Lovely product.

Perfect for making 1 cup of coffee at a time and the red is beautiful!

Background:I am a coffee fanatic. I am one of those rare people who think Costa and Starbuck Coffee is muck and would rather have a cup at home. I drink filter coffee only and STRONG. I grind my own beans for every cup.If I go away from home overnight, I get the sweats about what horror coffee I'll get served. Most of the time I pack up my filter machine (10 Cup), grinder and some beans, it just saves me making excuses why I don't want a cup of instant or cafatiere (yuck).My wife thinks its ridiculous to cart around all this kit so I looked into alternatives. I have owned a Swiss Gold Filter in the past and its junk and the coffee tastes like a cafatiere coffee. This filter and paper combination seems to be the gold standard in portable one cup filters.I was truly impressed, I have been away for work in a hotel for a week now, and I have a good cup of coffee to hand all the time.The water flows really well throughout the paper - the fluting really does work!!I have the small version, which is just fine. I think the larger would be too big. Remember you have to pour the water slowly, its not a fill up and leave it. So, the large size doesn't really matter.Its priced very keenly and very well made!

I bought one of these to use in my workshop before I got a coffee machine and it made a great cup of coffee, with minimal fuss or effort.First off, I recommend you look at some videos online to find the best technique to use this. It takes a little bit of experimenting, but it is worth the effort. This has to be used with cone shaped filters and I recommend unbleached filters for a nicer taste. Place your ground coffee of choice in the bottom and then pour a little water over the grounds for an initial bloom of about 30 seconds, before gently pouring the rest of the water over in a circular motion.We used this over a cafetiere jug, to make enough for us all, but you can just as easily place it on a cup for an individual amount.When you've finished it is extremely easy to put the used filter, with the grounds in it, in the bin and then a quick rinse under the tap and you're ready to go again.This is the easiest way to make a really decent cup of coffee when out camping, when a machine isn't practical, or even if you just want to take a bit of extra time and make coffee where you have a bit more control over the flow and taste.A simple, but effective bit of kit that gives your caffeine kick with minimal hassle.

The Hario is the classic pour over drip filter. I am a huge coffee fanatic and I have a variety of coffee making methods: Moka pot, Aeropress, Clever Dropper, Nespresso machine, Espro cafetiere and I always come back to the V60. This is the method I use to make my morning coffee every day at 6am - you don't have to be a rocket scientist and it's simple enough to use when half awake.Basic operation is as simple as the elementary design. Put a filter paper in the cone, place it on top of a cup. If you want, rinse the paper with boiling water. Add in coffee, pour water over the top until you've filled the cup. Its that simple! You can complicate the method with water temperature, ratios, weighing the water and timing your pours etc. But none of this is essential.That said, once you get started you'll soon want to learn all there is about making amazing coffee and that's the beauty. How much you learn and what you do is completely up to you. This is the coffee making method of the experts, it really does make some of the best coffee. The fact it's a filter method means you get crystal clear coffee with no sediment. The pour over method gives you complete control over everything you do.I've had a clear plastic one, which cracked a bit when put in the dishwasher but the red and white ones are perfectly durable. The smallest size is fine for a single cup, the bigger ones can be used in conjunction with a jug to make brews for friends.

Absolute bargain. I have been using an Aeropress to make coffee for the past two years, and have been very happy with it. It's still the best for travelling with, but for coffee at home this Hario is now my preferred choice. Very quick and easy to use, a doddle to clean, and remarkably the coffee just tastes that bit better than the Aeropress in my opinion (although it's close). A slow pour of water is key. Really worth buying top quality beans for this if you can. Filer papers are a bit more expensive than ones for Aeropress, but still fine, it took me around 2 months to get through a pack of 100.Again for the price of this thing it's really worth getting. Also i have had no problems with cracking or damage like some of the other reviewers have had, i have the plain white plastic one, it's very sturdy.

Perfect for travelling, it's lasted me a long time, is convenient to throw in my bag as it's small, it makes a great cup of coffee

My heart would have preferred a ceramic dripper, but my purse dictated plastic. however it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy, and has the added bonus of being less likely to chip/crack when my poor tired undercaffeinated hands pick it up first thing in the morning. This thing is a life saver. Really easy to use and gets round that tricky problem of electrified coffee grinds...grind straight into the filter nestled into this little bit of genius and it's a case of 'what static problem?'The only thing to watch out for is that it's a particularly conical cone of a dripper and your bog standard coffee filters won't sit in it properly. You need the Hario filters. I tried making my morning rescue with some old Mellita filters I found lurking in the depths and while coffee was certainly made, they fouled up the grinding process because they sat too high in the dripper. It's barely a problem though. Having now stocked up on the matching accessories I have my eye on a different colour because although I bought a cafetiere for those days when I'm feeling generous enough to share coffee beanswith other family members, I prefer using the dripper - much less washing up involved and who wants more of that?!

フィルターと一緒に購入しましたが、特に不自由なく使用できました。お安いし、家でコーヒーを煎れたい方はフィルターとセットで購入されるのも良いかもしれません。

Bisogna davvero parlare di questo prodotto iconico? Forma a V con angolo a 60 gradi, per questo il nome V60.. se è un classico ci sarà un motivo. Acquistate l originale ad occhi chiusi.Questo è in plastica, per chi volesse esiste anche in ceramica ma per me il gusto cambia in maniera impercettibile dato che compro il caffè in un bar che loro fanno con quella in ceramica e a casa viene uguale.

premetto che non sono un purista del caffè espresso, ne di quello americano o filtrato, come in questo caso, quindi non entro in merito al gusto della bevanda che si tira fuori con l'utilizzo di questo dripper..cercavo un modo per avere una bevanda da sorseggiare durante la mattina al lavoro.Sono andato per la strada del caffè filtrato e devo dire che personalmente sono molto soddisfatto.C'è tutto un mondo dietro a questo filtraggio, dai filtri alla miscela alla temperatura dell'acqua ai modi...Affascinante. E con ottimo risultato.Questo dripper realizza senza problemi il filtraggio per riempire una tazza termica da 250ml.Materiale robusto e versatile.Risultato ottimo.Se come me siete indecisi se comprare questo o l'equivalente in ceramica io non avrei dubbi sull'acquistare di nuovo questo in materiale plastico.

Very nice product, great design. Got the white plastic. Came with a matching scoop. Works as advertised. Requires a bit of patience, but that's expected with a manual pour-over. Good quality and care went into this Hario product. Made in Japan.

Some reviewers complain that their paper filters tear out when used in this funnel because this funnel has an unusually large drain hole. I don’t know what kind of cheap filters these people are using. I use common Militta brand filters — good quality but hardly exotic — and I have had no such problems. Remember, when you make coffee using this sort of drip/pour-over method, you’re supposed to sprinkle the water on gently, not just dump it all in violently.Some reviewers have complained that their unit didn’t come with the scoop shown in some of the pictures. Mine came with that exact plastic scoop. I’s sort of folded into the top flap of the box; remember, the Japanese like origami. I’ll bet that some of you threw your scoop away accidentally. Even so, it’s just a standard, two-tablespoon coffee scoop. These days, you should be measuring by weight anyway. Good, accurate, easy-to-use digital kitchen scales are cheap; it’s high time you bought one… and not just for coffee.With all of that said, what is there to say about the actual funnel? It works well. It fits the Hario V60 Carafe perfectly. In a world of expensive coffee gadgets, this pair works well at a very reasonable price. It’s good quality; you’ll use it every day for years. It survives the occasional accidental drop to the floor. It’s simple to use. And it’s dishwasher-safe. Just buy it.
