Hario V60 review

Updated 2026-06-10

Bottom line

Hario's cone-shaped dripper, named for its 60-degree angle. One large hole and spiral ribs put flow rate in the brewer's hands rather than the dripper's.

Compare with

  • AeroPress A plastic immersion-and-pressure brewer that makes a clean, full-bodied cup in about ninety seconds, and has become a travel and office favourite.
  • De'Longhi Stilosa An entry-level manual pump espresso machine aimed at people trying real espresso for the first time on a tight budget.
  • Baratza Encore An entry-level conical burr grinder that grinds consistently enough for drip and pour-over. Baratza sells every replacement part, so a worn Encore gets fixed, not binned.
