Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper | V-Shaped Cone Coffee Dripper With Heat Retention, Red, Size 02

Prior to this I had a combined Hario glass jug with V60 coffee dripper, which I accidentally smashed. Quite distraught at the idea of going back to my cafetiere (all those horrid grounds at the bottom of my cup, and less tasty coffee in the morning!) I decided to replace it, but then decided to buy this - essentially just the dripper element of my previous manual dripper - instead. The reasons for this were several: I had bought a nice coffee pot in a charity shop and thought I might be able to use this dripper with the pot (I can! It fits perfectly!); I always felt the glass jug lost heat very quickly; and finally, this seemed to be an easier way to make one cup over a mug rather than making a huge pot (my parter does not drink a lot of coffee).This product exceeded my expectations by looking beautiful and by fitting brilliantly on my coffee pot. If you usually have cafetiere coffee, I suggest giving a dripper a go - they are extremely easy to use (I am not a morning person, and have to get up very early for my job, and can easily manage to make a decent cup!), you get no gunky grounds in the bottom of your cup, and it is extremely easy to clean (just throw the filters in the bin and give the dripper a wash - no more scooping out gunky grounds or trying to wash them down the drain in the fear this choice might come back to haunt you in the form of a slimy blockage). I have never used a dripper other than the Hario brand - they are a little more pricey than others, but you can always give a cheap plastic version of the V60 a go first if you want to try it out. They are generally considered to make the best coffee, and I am pleased with the result every time - however, be aware that the filters are a little pricey and not easy to find in your local supermarket, so you will probably need to order them from Amazon or elsewhere. A different style of filter might be easier to find filters for, although in this 'internet age' there is really no cause to fuss.I can thoroughly recommend the manual filter dripper from Hario - it has changed my life (in a small but noticible way - at the end of the day, it is only coffee). However, be prepared to buy better quality coffee - the filter makes it easier to taste the coffee, so horrible coffee which is just about drinkable in a cafetiere will not cut the mustard with a filter!

The ceramic gives the filter a nice sturdy feel, beautifully made. I have bought more than one, and arrived in good condition.

Firstly, I was put off buying this for a while as one review seemed to suggest it's not ceramic - that's wrong, it is ceramic. The red is also a great colour, and it comes with a plastic measuring spoon which has a nice design and which is the same shade of red.I bought this with the corresponding size 2 filters by Hario, and can say it's great.Story time:The office I work at has a crazy big, expensive, and generally great coffee filter machine. Naturally, I made full use of it. I've been wanting to replicate it at home with some filter coffee of my own, but as I was getting it at the office, I couldn't justify making any at home as I didn't want to get addicted to coffee (more so than I currently am I suppose).However, now that I'm being forced to work from home (due to you-know-what), I was missing that sweet, sweet filter coffee. I don't have the space at home for a mega filter machine, and couldn't justify the cost of the smaller ones. That's when I took the plunge (the tiny, tiny plunge) of buying this.It's perfect, does the job just as you want it to, and I've got no regrets. It seems to be sturdy, as I said before it's ceramic, it looks great, and now that I'm back on proper coffee, I think my productivity will be back up too. Plus, since it's just a piece of ceramic at the end of the day, it's not got any parts that might break, it can be stowed away nicely, and it doesn't make a mess.Would definitely recommend if you just want a filter coffee without any fuss.

Makes a great cup of coffee every time.

It's a nice thing. Does exactly what it should - makes coffee quickly and easily, and looks good. But no appreciable improvement over the unbranded plastic one it replaced. It's heavier and being heavy and ceramic it's a little rough on the mug rim; you probably don't want to use on your fine china. Next time I'll buy the v60 plastic version.

The original. I use it everyday and wouldn't want anything else anymore. For best performance, I buy the adequate Hario filters. Easy to clean, very sturdy, pleasure to use, makes great japanese style coffee.

Needed to replace my broken Chemex with something similar. This had really good reviews and sits on my 3-cup thermos quite well.I had some Chemex coffee filters left over. Rinse them twice and then let the coffee making begin.Great product, ceramic is much sturdier than glass. Also came with a scoop!

Love it
