Hario V60 Pour Over Coffee Starter Set, Size 02, Brown

When I was recommended this pour over set, I was hesitant because I didn't like the idea of plastic interfacing with boiling hot water. While I can't say anything to the potential hazards of that aspect, I can say that the cup of coffee that comes out of this is far superior to any cup of coffee I had made prior. The design and construction make it easy to clean, use, and make a great cup of joe. If your goal is a good pour over, you can't get much better than this.

Actually pulls out the flavors your coffee brand describes, holds enough for two cups in the morning, and is not complicated to do. Things to make a note of: Coffee will be stronger than you think, it can take some time to make a full pot, and although people suggest using a gooseneck kettle, a simple tea kettle works just fine. Tldr: Makes a delicious cup or two of coffee, but takes a bit of patience to do so. 9/10

I dropped my glass hario v60 decanter and was super bummed. I was just going to buy another one but figured I'd try out a different model with a handle since I've been a klutz lately. I'd you're into coffee you know hario is the universal standard for pour over coffee brewers! This one is super convenient with the handle, the v60 brewer is standard and it can hold 700ml which is a sizeable amount. Good enough to make 3-4 cups of coffee so it's definitely big enough for most people. If you're in the market for a pour over brewer, you can't go wrong with this one! It also helps that it comes with a bunch of hario paper filters as well! So saves me a bit more money there!

I've been using a French Press for a few months now.While it does brew a decent cup, I really hate that I have to scoop out all the grounds afterwards.I have a tiny apartment kitchen and I don't want to get an overpriced machine to brew a cup. I've done a lot of review-reading here in Amazon and I came across the pour over method.I bought the Melitta Cone Coffee Filters, Natural Brown, No. 2, 100-Count Filters (Pack of 6) with it as it's hard to find this here in Australia (I only see #4 in the supermarket aisles here).I know that the filter cup of this one is plastic and although it would function the same, I bought a Cilio Porcelain No. 2 Filter Holder because I don't like the thought of hot water passing and maybe picking up chemicals from the plastic filter.The plastic filter bottom of this one (I assume all Hario filters) are wide compared to a smaller , slimmer opening at the bottom of the ceramic filter.I've used this for 2 days now and while it involves more work vs. the automatic drip ones,at least with this one I'm sure the water reached boiling point.I don't mind the manual brewing as this pot is small enough to keep in the cupboard so virtually no taking up any precious counter top space.Although it says 5 cups on the sides, that's based on a small 120 ml cup.I use a regular coffee mug so it does a little less than 2 12-oz cups for husband and myself.

Apparently, “size 02” equals approximately 2cups/24oz. Simple design for simple use. Easy to clean. No comment on durability because I just received this cute little pot.

I had a ceramic V60 which fell 8 feet to its demise about a month ago. I also have a Chemex, and a stainless steel coffee gator (filterless) pour-over system. I paid more than twice this much for my other pour-over systems, but this is the one that I go to every morning. To get an idea of why I like the Hario system so much, I will compare it to my Chemex. The biggest issue with my Chemex is the draining - it’s difficult to get water through the grounds even with a rather course grind. I should also mention that I use a professional grade grinder along with a Kruve sifter, so my grind size is consistent within 200 micrometers. There are a few ways to deal with this (1) you can go with a very coarse grind, and brew a cup in about 3 and a half minutes. This leads to underextracted beans, and a delicious, but noticeably weak cup of coffee. (2) you can stick with a reasonable grind size, and brew for a longer time (4+ minutes). This is my preferred method, but often leads to over extraction from the beans and some bitterness. (3) you can use a finer grind and just stop brewing at ~3-3.5 minutes. This will give you some great (strong) flavor, since your bean to water ratio will likely be high. Topping off with hot water is usually a decent compromise. All that said, The Hario V60 is the only system I know of that has solved this issue. Hario gets around this by adding small protruding ridges to the interior of the V60 that help immensely with drainage. The ridges help create air flow which pushes water through the grounds at a faster rate than the Chemex. This lets me use a finer grind which brings out better flavor without any bitterness. The fact that the V60 pour over is independent of the collector is also a huge plus. I’ve experimented a lot with different grind sizes, extraction times, and brewing techniques, and being able to remove the top piece and taste the coffee at different points in the brewing process has helped me learn and develop better brewing techniques (e.g. you can setup three cups and switch the pour over between them every minute or so to see how the taste of the coffee changes with brew time). If youre passionate about making the “perfect cup” of coffee like I am, this is the product for you.

I love my Nespresso coffee, but the machine broke one day and I decided to get something else because Nespresso coffee machine and capsules are expensive. I got an insulated stainless steel french press and enjoyed making coffee out of it, but it took a while before I can get it right. I was still missing the taste of my Nespresso capsules, then I saw Aeropress. I researched on Aeropress and eventually bought one and loved making even better and clean coffee out of it. It was so much easier to make and clean up than my french press. I then decided to upgrade my electric water kettle to the gooseneck one for better control on pouring hot water, and then the pour-over coffee got my attention since these water kettles are made just for that purpose. I researched on pour-over and eventually settled on the Hario v60 kit because it is highly rated and cheap compared to the other famous brands. It is not as elegant as the Bodum or Chemex, but way cheaper and way easier to clean up. Let me tell you, I was skeptical on how good the coffee will turn out for the pour-over, but I’m now sold on it! It is the best way and the easiest way to make a great tasting cup of coffee if you get the right recipe! It is now my go to for my morning coffee! What am I going to do with my french press and Aeropress???

Le verre a cassé après avoir été trempé dans de l'eau chaude. Mais le pose-filtre est parfait pour trois tasses ( filtre numéro 2).

A very nice little pour over set, makes an excellent cup of coffee and is easy to clean and is well made. Instructions are in Japanese only but there are pictures and it’s easy enough to figure it out without them

It's brilliant, but although it has cup sizes on the side totalling 5, it holds a little over 2 average mugs, or one extra large mug as shown in my photo. Instruction booklet is in Japanese but the pictures and numbers make it easy enough to decipher, including how long to microwave it to reheat, as there are no metal parts.

J'ai acheté cette cafetière pour l'offrir. Elle est solide, le design un peu désuet à son charme et surtout elle fait un très bon café. Le "filtre" est en plastique ce qui est pour moi un petit désavantage mais il est possible d'acheter à part un porte filtre en céramique. Autre spécificité : pas une goutte ne tombe du bec verseur et laisse la cafetière propre et présentable. Je la sors même lorsque j'ai des invités. Ce que j'aime en plus c'est l'écriture en japonais sur le verre. Dix filtres de forme conique sont livrés avec la cafetière ensuite il faut en racheter. Il est possible de faire un pliage avec des filtres standard pour dépanner mais franchement le café est bien meilleur avec les filtres Hario.

Una scoperta, grazie a un conoscente ho provato a fare il caffè con questo metodo e ora... non ne farei mai a meno!
