Hario V60 02 Ceramic Pour-Over Coffee Dripper – Juniper

Want a simple pour-over setup with room to learn what changes your coffee? The Hario V60 02 ceramic coffee dripper in Juniper is a manual brewer made from porcelain and handmade in Japan. Add a matching paper filter, ground coffee, and a measured pour of hot water, and you have the basics of a hands-on brewing routine.

The V60’s spiral ribs and large bottom opening let your grind size and pouring technique influence how the brew drains. That gives you useful ways to adjust the cup. It doesn’t mean you need a complicated recipe or a perfect spiral pour to get started.

Who is this dripper for?

Choose it if you want to learn pour-over or add a ceramic V60 to an existing coffee setup. You control the water amounts and pouring stages rather than leaving the process to an electric machine. Juniper is the finish of this version, not a different brewing method.

What does size 02 mean?

02 identifies the Hario V60 dripper and matching filter size. This model is listed for 1–4 cups, but actual servings depend on your recipe and mug size. Four small servings are not the same as four large mugs. Match your brew amount to the capacity of your cup or server.

Which paper filters fit?

Use Hario V60 size 02 cone-shaped paper filters. Filters are sold separately. Our Hario V60 Size 02 White Paper Filters, 100 Count are the matching size, so you can have them ready for your first brew.

Why preheat the ceramic dripper?

Porcelain holds heat once warmed. Rinsing the paper filter with hot water also preheats the dripper before you add the coffee. Discard the rinse water before brewing. It’s a straightforward way to make your starting conditions more consistent.

What’s included?

• One Hario V60 02 porcelain dripper in Juniper
• One polypropylene measuring spoon

You’ll also need size 02 paper filters, ground coffee, hot water, and a suitable mug or server. A gooseneck kettle helps direct the stream. A scale makes it easier to repeat your coffee and water amounts than relying on the scoop alone.

How do I brew with a V60?

Set the dripper securely on your cup or server and fit a size 02 paper filter. Rinse with hot water to warm the porcelain, then discard the rinse water. Add your measured coffee dose. Make a small first pour to wet the grounds, pause according to your recipe, then continue pouring slowly and evenly until you reach your target water amount. Let the coffee finish draining before removing the dripper.

Some recipes take around three minutes, but timing depends on your dose, grind, and pouring pattern. Taste the coffee and change one thing at a time rather than treating the clock as the only measure of a good brew.
