The V60 is iconic and recognized worldwide for its functionality and design. The V60's conical shape allows for deeper layering of coffee grounds, and its spiral ridges and lack of flow restriction allow the user to pour water quickly for a delicate body, or slowly for a heavier flavor. The dripper features Hario's signature heatproof glass making the dripper beautiful and resilient. Perfect for cafe or home use! This version features Hario's newly designed base that allows you to more clearly see the fill level of your mug or server - it's cool! It's sort of shaped like a hollow surfboard.
