The Hario V60 is a necessary pour-over brewer loved by professionals and coffee enthusiasts. It produces a clean, nuanced cup with little equipment:

Design: Made of heat-resistant plastic, the V60 has a simple cone design that allows water to slowly saturate and drip 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: Renowned for bringing out the natural flavors in coffee that other methods can suppress. Acidity, sweetness and subtle notes are sharp and prominent. Part of the reason why it's so well-liked is that it yields excellent results with little learning curve.

Control: The conical shape gives excellent control over bloom time, water temperature, pouring rate and swirling style for total customization of strength and flavor profile to your preference.

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.
