The Hario V60 is an essential pour-over brewer loved by coffee enthusiasts and professionals. It produces a clean, nuanced cup with minimal equipment:
Design: Made of heat-resistant plastic, the V60 has a simple cone design that allows water to slowly saturate and drain through grounds for full extraction. The 03 size filters are #2-4 on the paper scale for a medium flow.
Brewing: A bit more involved than automatic brewers but simpler than other pour-overs. Grind coffee medium-fine, add a paper filter, and slowly pour in concentric circles waiting 30 seconds between pours. Clever but minimalist.
Flavors: Known for showcasing natural flavors in coffee that other methods can mask. Acidity, sweetness and subtle notes are clean and front-and-center. Part of its popularity is producing excellent results with a short learning curve.
Control: The cone shape gives excellent control over bloom time, water temperature, pouring rate and swirling technique for full customization of strength and flavor profile to your preferences.
Cleanup: Just throw out the used filter paper. Rinsing the plastic cone is quick. Portable, durable and practically indestructible making it great for travel or the office.
Value: At its low price point, it offers performance far beyond simple auto-drip and flexibility that more advanced pour-over devices lack. A worthy addition for any coffee lover’s toolkit.
For revealing what makes each coffee unique, the lightweight yet full-flavored Hario V60 Pour-Over Coffee Maker is a favorite industry standard for great reason.
