The V60 has become increasingly popular in recent years. It delivers incredibly clear flavours and aromas, allowing coffee lovers to enjoy even the subtlest notes in their coffee. For this reason, the V60 is one of specialty coffee’s favourite brewing methods. Within 3 minutes, you can brew an incredibly tasty coffee.

The V60 Coffee Dripper (also referred to as the V60 Coffee Maker) is made by Hario. The name stems from the shape of the device. It is “V” shaped with angles of 60 degrees. The internal sides also have interior ridges which help with air flow during the brewing method. Filter paper is inserted into the V shape and coffee grounds placed within the filter paper. The brewed coffee then drips into your cup, delivering a great coffee.

The shape, design and materials used to create the Hario V60 have been utilised to help offer optimum extraction. They come in ceramic, plastic, glass and metal styles, offering a solution for any budget or purpose. Certain materials, such as copper, are associated with better extraction due to more heat being retained by the V60. Others, such as the plastic V60 are designed more to suit the traveling barista, rather than favouring heat retention.

Hario V60 also offers a great solution for reducing any unwanted sediment during the brew process. For anyone who enjoys brewing coffee at home, they are certainly worth the investment.
