Hario V60 NEO Pour-Over Coffee Dripper

The Hario V60 NEO is a manual pour-over coffee dripper with a detailed rib design that guides water evenly along the wall. It's designed for faster extraction and a clean yet full-bodied cup, balancing acidity, sweetness, and body while minimizing bitterness.

If you're new to pour-over, think of it as a hands-on way to brew: you pour hot water over ground coffee in a filter, and the coffee drains into your cup or server below. I like this kind of setup because it gives you a reason to slow down and pay attention to the coffee, without putting another machine on the counter.

What makes the NEO different?

The NEO has 72 delicate ribs that converge into 9 at the base. Those raised channels are designed to help water flow evenly along the entire wall rather than relying on a plain cone. The rib structure has a utility model pending.

The aim is a cup with clarity and body, not simply the fastest possible brew. Acidity is the brighter side of the flavor, sweetness brings balance, and body is how the coffee feels in your mouth. Your beans, grind, and pouring still matter, so I'd treat the dripper as one part of the brew rather than a shortcut to a guaranteed result.

Choose your size

• Size 01: 1–2 cups. A practical choice when you're brewing a smaller batch.
• Size 02: 2–4 cups. Choose this size when you want more brewing capacity.

I'd choose based on how much coffee you usually make, not just the occasional larger brew.

Materials and construction

The body is PCT resin (Tritan), paired with a silicone rubber base. This is a resin dripper, not a glass or ceramic model. Both sizes are made in Japan.
