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 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

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!

A decent dripper. Makes it easy to have good quality coffee straight from kettle to cup essential. Well made, well priced and it actually looks nice. Really lightweight too so a good size to take to the office etc. happy with it!

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?!

Great product.

It works so easily to get one cup of filter coffee quickly. Easy to clean

Ele o um otimo Coador. Eu tinha o coador de vidro da hario e tive que trocar porque el caiu e quebro. Por isso que agora escolhi comprar o de plastico. Ache um material de super boa qualidade, compensa comprar o da marca hario mesmo. Tem de outras marcas mas parecem de qualidade inferior nas imagenes. Nao hora que voce tira da caixa da para ver que ele e de otima qualidade. O metodo hario V60 e meu favorito para fazer cafe coado. Nao fica agua acumulada no fundo do coador quando termina de pasar a agua e e super facil fazer a higenização, so jogar fora o filtro de papel com as borras de cafe e pronto. Recomendo muito este tipo de coador. A cor vermelha ache super bonita e ele vem com a colher medidora. Combinan super bem no meu kit de preparar cafe.

O Hario V60 mesmo de plástico é excelente. É resistente, bem acabado, fácil de limpar e durável. Pra todo amante de café, recomendo ter um, mesmo que esse modelo mais simples. Uma dó os filtros serem tão caros.

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.

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.
