Hario V60 Pour Over Set - Ceramic Dripper, Glass Server & Filters

Everything you need to start brewing pour-over, in one box: the white ceramic V60 size 02 dripper, the 600ml beehive glass server it sits on, and 100 paper filters. Brews 1 to 4 cups.

Why buy the set instead of the pieces

Because buying a dripper alone means discovering at 7am that you have nothing to brew into and no filters. The three parts are sized to work together, the 02 dripper matches the 600ml server matches the 02 filters, and you get 100 filters, which is a few months of not thinking about it.

What the V60 does

It's the most copied pour-over design in specialty coffee, and it's a deliberately hands-on one. A 60-degree cone, spiral ridges up the inside, and one large hole at the bottom. There's no built-in restriction, so nothing about the brewer is deciding your cup for you. Pour faster, water leaves faster. Grind finer, it slows down. That means it rewards attention and punishes carelessness, which is the whole appeal once it clicks.

Ceramic versus glass or plastic

Ceramic holds heat better than glass or plastic, which matters because brew temperature drifting down mid-pour is a common reason a cup comes out weak and sour. The tradeoff is that ceramic is cold when you start, so it'll steal heat from your first pour unless you warm it up.

Getting a good cup out of it

Rinse the filter with hot water first. It rinses off any paper taste and, more importantly, pre-warms both the dripper and the server. Then start medium-fine, bloom with a small pour for 30 seconds, and pour in slow circles from the center out. Aim for 1:16, about 20g coffee to 320g water.

The one rule worth remembering: adjust your grind to change the flow rate, not your pour speed. Grind is the reliable variable. Your hand isn't, at least not yet.

You'll want a gooseneck kettle to pour accurately. It's the one piece this set doesn't include, and it makes more difference than anything else you could add.
