Hario V60 Plastic Dripper 02 – white

Brew clear and aromatic filter coffee with the Hario V60 Plastic Dripper 02 in white. The classic V60 is designed for manual pour-over brewing, allowing you to tailor the results to the coffee beans and your preferred flavor profile.

The plastic model is lightweight, robust, and quick to preheat. This makes it ideal for beginners, experienced home baristas, and coffee lovers who want a practical dripper for daily brewing.

The classic V60 design

The name V60 refers to the dripper's V-shape and 60-degree cone angle. The design is based on three key elements:

• A cone-shaped filter holder

• Spiral ribs along the inside

• A single large central outlet

The cone-shaped construction gathers the ground coffee into a deeper layer and directs the water toward the center of the dripper.

The spiral ribs create space between the paper filter and the walls of the dripper. This allows for airflow and helps the coffee bed expand as it becomes saturated with water.

The large outlet does not restrict the water flow with multiple small holes. The brew time is therefore largely determined by your grind size, pouring speed, and overall brewing technique.

Great control over coffee flavor

With the Hario V60, you can actively work with several different brewing variables:

• Coffee dosage

• Grind size

• Water temperature

• Pouring speed

• Number of pours

• Total brew time

A coarser grind size and faster pouring usually result in a faster draw-down and a lighter cup. A finer grind size or slower pouring increases the contact time between coffee and water, which can provide more body and intensity.

The V60 is therefore well-suited for those who want to experiment with different coffee beans and highlight the coffee's sweetness, acidity, and aromas.

Lightweight construction in polypropylene

The dripper is made of polypropylene. The plastic construction makes the brewer lightweight and less prone to breakage than glass or ceramic models.

Polypropylene also absorbs relatively little heat during brewing. Therefore, less energy is required to heat the dripper itself, which can make it easier to maintain a stable temperature throughout the brewing process.

The low weight also makes the plastic model practical for:

• Daily brewing in the kitchen

• The office

• Vacation

• Camping and outdoor use

• Coffee gear that needs to be transported

For 1–4 cups of coffee

The Hario V60 size 02 is intended for approximately 1–4 small cups. It can be used for both a single large cup and a larger batch brewed directly into a suitable coffee server.

The dripper is used with cone-shaped Hario V60 paper filters size 02.

How to brew with Hario V60 02

1. Place the dripper on top of a cup or coffee server.

2. Fold the seam of the paper filter and place it in the dripper.

3. Rinse the filter and the dripper with hot water.

4. Discard the rinse water and add freshly ground coffee.

5. Pour a small amount of water over the coffee.

6. Let the coffee bloom for about 30–45 seconds.

7. Continue with steady and controlled pours.

8. Remove the dripper once the water has drained through.

A good starting point is approximately 60 grams of coffee per liter of water. For a 500 ml brew, you can, for example, start with about 30 grams of coffee and then adjust the ratio to taste.

Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the paper filter and coffee grounds after brewing. Rinse the dripper thoroughly under running water, ensuring no coffee oils or residue remain along the ribs.

For more thorough cleaning, the dripper can be washed with a soft sponge and standard dish soap.

Frequently asked questions

How many cups can the Hario V60 02 brew?

Size 02 is intended for approximately 1–4 small cups. The exact amount depends on the brew recipe and the size of your cups.

Which coffee filters fit the dripper?

The dripper uses cone-shaped Hario V60 paper filters in size 02.

What is the difference between Hario V60 01 and 02?

Size 01 is intended for approximately 1–2 cups, while size 02 provides more room and can be used for approximately 1–4 cups. Size 02 requires corresponding V60 02 paper filters.

What is the difference between the V60 in plastic and ceramic?

Both models use the same basic V60 design. The plastic model is lighter, more impact-resistant, and absorbs less heat. The ceramic model is heavier and has a more classic look.

Should the plastic dripper be preheated?

It is still recommended to rinse the paper filter and the dripper with hot water. This removes any taste from the filter paper and warms the cup or coffee server. However, the plastic model requires less preheating than a ceramic dripper.

Can the dripper be placed directly on a cup?

Yes. The integrated base allows you to place the dripper directly on most cups and coffee servers, provided it stands level and stable.

Is the Hario V60 suitable for beginners?

Yes. The method is simple to get started with, but also provides the opportunity to work more precisely with grind size, pouring technique, and brew time as you gain more experience.
