Overview
The Hario V60 Size 02 is a plastic pour-over dripper that brews 1 to 4 cups through a single large drain hole, letting water flow speed control the final cup. Made in Japan for home brewers and campers who want manual control over extraction.
Hario sells this dripper in ceramic, glass, metal and plastic; the plastic version gives up nothing in the cone geometry while offering lighter weight and heat retention some drinkers actually prefer. It suits anyone moving off an electric machine toward a slower, hands-on method, though the large single hole means pour technique affects the result more than with a restricted-flow dripper.
- 1-4 cup pour-over capacity
- Food-safe plastic construction
- Made in Japan
- Compatible with standard V60 paper filters
Who it's for
Suits people moving from a French press or drip machine who want to control brew time and temperature by hand, and campers or travelers who want a light brewer that will not crack. Less suited to anyone who wants a hands-off, one-button brew.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers reported no trouble with common paper filter brands despite complaints elsewhere about the large drain hole tearing cheap filters, and several praised its heat retention and light weight for travel and camping over ceramic and metal versions. The recurring complaint was the white plastic staining with heavy use, and a few noted pour-over with this dripper takes some technique to get right.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight and packable for travel or camping
- Retains heat better than reviewers found with ceramic or metal versions
- Works well with common paper filter brands
- White plastic can stain with heavy use
- Large drain hole makes pour technique matter more
- Not every buyer confirmed a scoop was included
Performance notes
Water passes through a single large hole at the bottom, so extraction depends heavily on how steadily and slowly the water is poured rather than a restricted flow rate built into the dripper. Spiral ribs inside create space between the paper filter and the plastic wall, which several buyers said sped up flow versus a flat-sided funnel. Hario rates the plastic to withstand boiling water, but lists a 90 degree C threshold in the manual as a margin against slight deformation under sustained heat.
