Hario V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper, Size 03, Clear

Just as described and perfect in design and use. This is how it supposed to be, and I purchased the ceramic vs plastic because plastic does get damaged over time with hot water and if using boiling water, which I like to use, I figured porcelain/ceramic is better and worth the price. Yes, I have to be careful not to break it, and its like any other coffee mug, break it and replace it. Its not that heavy or bulky, just like a typical mug, just a bit more weight. Plastic is way lighter in weight and forgiving if you drop it or hit it by an accident, so that would be 2 benefits to purchasing plastic one, which I do recommend as well. (Hario brand). Plastic is also better for travel or camping, but I would take this one camping as well if need be.I do recommend this product and I didn’t want to go with a knockoff, because I respect Hario and their craftsmanship is on point. Buying knockoffs will get you by and sometimes, its worth the extra bucks to get the original piece knowing it will not fail you in design and functionality. (Unless you get lucky and find a great knockoff, which I didn’t want to bother this time).You can use almost any filter with it if you fold it and make it cone shape. I use big filters I have left from traditional coffee machine. Will say that its best when your coffee grounds are fine and some store-bought coffee grounds are too coarse so I rather grind my own, extra fine, and you get more out of your coffee, plus fresh grounds are always more aromatic and indulging. But any coffee grounds will work, I just find it using less of fine vs coarse grounds to achieve the same results. Remember, coffee industry recommends 2 tablespoons (10g) for every 6 oz water, which is a good place to start to find your preference. Double the amounts when using this dripper and make sure your mug or glass is 12oz or more to avoid overspill.Hope this review gives you a better idea about Hario V60 coffee dripper 02 ceramic.This review gave me something to do this weekend, for sure! Lol ;-)

I've tried the ceramic, glass, metal, and plastic models of the Hario V60 size drippers. I started with this one, ceramic. I dropped it on a tile floor and it broke a piece of the edge off and that started my journey of trying all of the Hario V60s. They were all fine. Now I am back to the ceramic and it is the best of them all. I am happy to have a lifetime supply of Hario V60s. I won't ever make coffee with anything else.I like the ceramic the best because I think it holds heat the best. It is a little "heavy", which I do not mind.I put a filter in the V60. I pour hot water over the filter until the carafe is nearly full, which heats the V60 and the carafe. I pour out that water, put the coffee grounds in the filter and make my coffee. I get very hot coffee doing it this way, which I like. The other V60s are fine but I think if you want maximum hot ceramic is the way to go.That being said, the other models are great. The metal one is light and I don't think you could break it by dropping it. The glass one is very tough, I dropped it on the same tile floor and it did not break. Might have just gotten lucky there. The plastic one is fine, seems basically indestructible, I just hate plastic so I didn't use it much. I wonder about the repeated heating/cooling causing the plastic to crack over time.I have seen reviews that claim flavor differences between the models. This is a load of hogwash, in my world. The coffee tastes the same, no matter the model.I use the same method with each. Preheat, make coffee, drink immediately.

I do a lot of pour over. This has been a welcomed addition to my pour over setup!The thing is sturdy, lots of these are as delicate as it can be without breaking. This is different. This thing is a work horse. I’ve used it on all kinds of cups for my morning coffee, it’s simple, sustainable, and durable. Filters are dirt cheap and biodegradable, or you can find reusable ones. Doesn’t get better than that.I also love that this is made out of pure ceramic.

Great replacement for my older glass v60 which finally broke after many, many years. This is a thicker glass than the older ones, and it has the updated handle style which allows it to be used on top of a wider variety of carafes/mugs.The only caveat is that the older style of handle/base was a little more symmetrical, which might bother some people.Bonus is this is going to be less susceptible to breakage from sloppy hands due to the better thickness...In terms of coffee taste, it all is a science, but if you are looking for whether this is the right brewer for you, just know that this is a great option. Go see James Hoffman's youtube video on how to do an easy pourover with one, and you'll get the hang of it. Lance Hedrick is good too, but his processes are a bit more involved usually.

After many years my hario pour over slipped and broke. I was very impressed with this company I bought my replacement with. They had bubble wrap in the box and around the box! Make sure to buy from Press 18. Product is a perfect replacement. Looks exactly like bold one that I loved using for many years.
