Hario V60 Coffee Dripper

The classic Hario V60 pour over coffee dripper!  We blogged about the origin of this product. Available in various colours - the clear one is the most popular.

This might be the only bit of coffee gear you ever need.  A regular delivery of filter ground coffee of your choice and a box of unbleached filter papers .. and you're good to go. 

You'll never get the deeper, richer, espresso coffees out of this but it's perfect for those who are into brewing medium to light roasted coffees - your East African fruity varietals for example.  

Why the Hario V60 Is a Coffee Snob’s Best Friend

The V60 doesn’t just brew coffee—it announces that you’re better than the average Joe (and definitely better than Joe, who uses a Keurig). It’s the ultimate flex for anyone who considers “terroir” part of their daily vocabulary.

Control Freak Heaven
Every variable—temperature, grind size, pour speed—is in your hands. If the coffee tastes bad, you’ve got no one to blame but yourself. Fun!

Instagram Gold
The Hario V60 isn’t just a coffee maker; it’s a prop for your perfectly curated morning aesthetic. Pair it with a rustic wooden table, a stack of unread books, and some moody lighting, and watch the likes roll in.

Compact and Pretentious
Unlike bulky espresso machines, the V60’s minimal footprint takes up little space in your kitchen but an enormous amount of space in your personality.

The Downsides: Let’s Get Real

While the V60 has earned its cult status, it’s not without its challenges.

The Steep Learning Curve
Sure, the first few tries might leave you with a bitter mess, but hey, at least you’re “learning.”

The Paradox of Simplicity
It’s literally just a cone with a hole in it, but somehow it’s managed to turn coffee brewing into a full-blown chemistry experiment.

The Endless Accessories
Oh, you thought the V60 alone was enough? Think again. You’ll need a gooseneck kettle, a scale, special filters, and probably a YouTube tutorial to even get started. Your wallet is crying, but your coffee? Sublime.

Final Thoughts: Should You Join the V60 Cult?

If you’re the kind of person who thinks spending 10 minutes to make one cup of coffee is a form of self-care, the Hario V60 is your soulmate. It’s not just a coffee maker—it’s a lifestyle, a hobby, and a thinly veiled cry for validation.

After all, life’s too short for bad coffee—or overly complicated brewing rituals.
