Review on 🍵 Hario V60 Pour Over Set: Ceramic Dripper, Glass Server, Scoop & Filters - Size 02, White by Nicole Thompson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for bringing out the bright, fruity flavors of Third Wave coffee.

At last count I have eight different coffee makers in my house. Hario is my standard when judging a new range of coffee beans, especially when it comes to a lighter roast of specialty beans from the same origin. (For example, a Peruvian geisha my friends brought from Lima was used in Hario.) Hario's quick flipping — a function of the ridges inside the cone and the thin filter paper — means it's difficult to extract too strongly. Coffee even with a fairly fine grind. This helps reduce the bitter notes you can get from automatic drip coffee makers. I bought a size 02 which brews about 600ml of coffee at a time; I just pour myself a cup to drink and fill my stainless steel vacuum mug to keep it hot for later. (As with Chemex, the borosilicate glass used for Hario is excellent at withstanding thermal shock during brewing, but is a poor insulator.) two cups at a time (which isn't difficult), you'll need to somehow keep the second cup warm while you the first drink. No problem if you share, of course, but that applies to almost every coffee maker. (My Bialetti Moka Express is the only exception, as the hot aluminum keeps the last cup I pour hot.) Thing: A lot of pot lovers look for portability. If this applies to you too, Hario metal or plastic diffusers are best suited. I chose the white ceramic cone because I only use it at home and I love the feel of high quality ceramic. If I was looking for something to put in a backpack or on a shelf, I would choose plastic.
