Hario V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper, Size 02, Clear

This Is Amazing.I've used (an expensive!) Ninja coffeemaker for over a decade. I've used aero press. Coffee shops and other coffee makers. I love this coffee maker. I got a Bodum kettle to use with it. It makes even my normal coffee taste like the nicest fresh ground Cafe. I don't understand. I don't care. It's wonderful.It takes as little or less time as a regular coffeemaker (it will depend on your kettle speed). I got the smallest for a single cup and I do have to fill it twice so you may want one size larger but I appreciate how little space it takes, it looks nice despite being plastic and cleans perfectly.If you love coffee get one. Even if you don't use it all the time, it's worth having for when you want a perfect cup.

I having been brewing with the pour-over method for at least 10 years; it is my preferred daily brew. I have been using the RSVP manual coffee cone which is excellent but not as good as this Hario, IMO.So what is the difference?-Hario has large curving ribs which keep the filter from sticking to the sides & needing adjustments to keep the flow of water moving.-RSVP ribs are too small to really make a difference in function.-Hario has a large hole in the bottom which keeps the flow moving faster so that the water is not in contact with the beans for too long (that results in over extraction/bitter taste).-RSVP has 1 small hole in the center. If your filter is set at the wrong angle, it can really slow down the flow. I always put my filter in at an angle so that it did not adhere to the sides & block the flow of water. It often needs an adjustment during the brew. Annoying.-The Hario Clear Plastic version sits a bit awkwardly on my Copco 2-quart insulated carafe because the top of the carafe is angled & the base of the Hario is large & not removable. I will most likely order the glass Hario with the removable base to take care of this. The plastic Hario fits perfectly/stable on my Zojirushi 64-ounce carafe w/brew-thru lid; it has a flat top; I use this one at my cabin so I'll move the plastic Hario there.-The RSVP has an excellent design for brewing in to a carafe. It has the long neck that extends down & a small base to fit many different carafes.-The Hario 03 is large enough for my 6 Cups/day brew but when I have a house full of company & need to brew more, it is too small. I will use the RSVP for large brews.-I use a white Melitta #6 filter in the RSVP. I have tried the trick of folding the #6 filter to a point & using it in the Hario. It works pretty well but the seam does get in the way & flows a bit at an angle. I prefer the Hario white 03 filters; no fiddling around. But either work fine.-I use a medium-fine grind with the Hario & a medium grind with the RSVP. I found that I need a bit finer grind with the Hario or the water flows thru a bit too fast. If I go too fine w/the RSVP, it takes a long time to flow thru & I end up w/a more bitter coffee.There are many videos & opinions online showing how to use the pour-over method. My method in general:-I use water at @ 200F. Or bring your water to boil, let it sit off the boil for a minute or two & then pour. Temperature does make a difference; experiment to find your preferred temp/flavor.-I use white Melitta or Hario paper filters & have found no discernible flavor difference when I rinse the filter prior to brew so I do not bother w/rinsing. I do NOT like brown paper filters; those are vile IMO.-I brew directly in to a stainless, insulated carafe. That carafe is used ONLY for coffee. Get a separate one for tea or the taste will be horrid. You will ruin your tea or coffee - BLEH!-I always put hot water in my insulated carafe to warm it prior to brewing in to it. Dump before brewing - duh.-I use a conical burr grinder to fresh grind my coffee beans. Those blade grinders are not worth the trouble. I owned many prior to spending the money on a decent burr grinder. You would be better off buying ground coffee over using a blade grinder.-I prefer a medium roast coffee so there is actually coffee bean flavor - not a charred bean w/all the complex flavor roasted out of it.RSVP Manual Cone: RSVP Manual Drip Coffee Filter Cone for Carafes or ThermosCopco Carafe: Copco 2 Quart Thermal Capacity Brushed Stainless Steel CarafeZojirushi Carafe: Zojirushi 64 oz.

Un método infalible que no puede faltar en casa

Size 02 is exactly the size for my usage: big enough to put over a small carafe to make coffee for two, small enough opening to go over my 3 c. thermos, still works to make a single cup in the afternoon or for dessert, and wide enough for my jumbo 18 oz workday morning cup. It is the happy medium.This isn't my first pourover: my first is a reusable mesh, which took a little upkeep to keep the pores clear but was easy enough to clean out with a garbage disposal. But getting to clean it out was a pain on deployment, having to find somewhere to dump the grounds and so on and so on. I went to the bother of lugging a kettle with me all around the world, because I owned the electrical gear so even if the cooks couldn't heat water, I happened to be able to plug an electric kettle in. I switched to a camping french press, because that was easier to pack and move if it was still dirty. On my next deployment, one of the other guys brought his Hario, and then I saw him pitch the highly biodegradable paper and grounds, and I realized using the paper wasn't going to be the end of the Amazon rainforest.This brews faster. It's more consistent. The plastic can get scratched, unlike the glass, but if it should ever break, I won't have glass all in my clothes. A lot of the world separates compost (including now parts of the US), so clean up is easy. Did you know roaches and ants don't like coffee grounds? Fringe benefits!And you don't have to buy the Hario brand filters! Just buy the #4 cone from your favorite brand and fold the corner to make a sharp point. Make sure, if you fold it near the crimp, that you don't rip a hole by mistake, and boom, you're in business. If you leave it flattened, it will rip. With folding, I've had a few grounds all of twice in the last few years, between the other guy's Hario and when I bought this one.Love this product! It's the only thing I use now.

Works great, perfect for what’s needed

nice a bit expensive

Buena calidad

I was trying to use a makeshift dripper by placing a filter in a regular funnel. I decided to try this and I am so glad I did. This works perfectly. I’m using the filters I already have. I still use the same amount of grounds and water I used in my single cup coffee maker and my coffee brews stronger. I could probably use less grounds with this method. I Love it!
