HARIO V60 02 Ceramic Coffee Dripper — Red Arita Porcelain, 1–4 Cups, Even Extraction

The HARIO V60 02 ceramic dripper is a red, cone-style pour-over brewer designed in Japan to deliver even extraction for 1–4 cups of coffee.

Compact, durable and celebrated by coffee enthusiasts worldwide, the HARIO V60 02 combines a tapered cone, spiral ribs and a single large exit hole to encourage steady flow and controlled brewing. Crafted from fine Arita porcelain, this model balances thermal stability and visual appeal — perfect for home baristas who value consistency and classic design. It is the 02 size, suitable for preparing between one and four cups depending on grind and pour technique.

How does the V60 shape affect extraction and flavor?

The V60’s conical form stabilizes the coffee bed and guides water toward the center, which prolongs contact time and promotes uniform saturation. Spiral ribs reduce channeling and let air escape from the filter for a cleaner pour. The single large outlet requires a bit more brewing attention but rewards you with pronounced clarity and nuanced cups.

• Conical paper filter increases depth and contact time.
• Spiral ridges promote even water distribution and detachment.
• Large center hole allows brew control via pour rate and pulse technique.

What are the physical features and materials of this dripper?

This V60 is formed from Arita porcelain — known for a smooth finish and reliable heat retention — and finished in a vivid red glaze. With compact dimensions and a moderate weight, it sits stably on most cups, servers or carafes. The size 02 fits standard V60 paper filters and is optimized for small to medium batch brewing.

• Material: Arita porcelain (porcelain body with glazed exterior).
• Size: approximately 5.5 x 4.7 x 4.0 inches (W x D x H).
• Capacity: suitable for about 1–4 cups depending on cup size and grind.

How do I brew one great cup with the HARIO V60 02?

Start with freshly ground coffee, rinse a V60 paper filter with hot water, and dose according to yield. Use a steady spiral pour or pulse pouring to keep the coffee bed evenly saturated and aim for a total brew time that suits your grind size. Adjust grind, dose or pour tempo to refine strength and clarity.

• Recommended grind: medium-fine to medium (adjust to taste).
• Typical dose: 12–16 g coffee per 200 ml water (adjust for strength).
• Useful technique: pre-wet filter, bloom 30–45 seconds, then pour in controlled pulses.

What care and compatibility should I know about?

The porcelain surface is easy to clean and resists staining if rinsed promptly, and it’s microwave- and dishwasher-safe with gentle cycles, though hand washing preserves the finish. The V60 02 works with all HARIO paper filters made for size 02 and fits most servers and mugs with a stable base diameter.

• Cleaning: hand wash recommended; dishwasher-safe on gentle cycle.
• Compatibility: uses HARIO V60 size 02 paper filters and common pour-over servers.
• Durability: porcelain offers excellent heat retention but can chip if dropped.

Who is this for: The HARIO V60 02 ceramic dripper is ideal for home brewers, coffee hobbyists and small-batch cafes that want precise manual control and bright, clean cups. It’s a strong choice for anyone who appreciates a tactile brewing ritual, values consistent extraction, and prefers a high-quality ceramic dripper with a striking red finish.
