How to brew
Follow the steps or brew along with the video.
Paper
Fold the HARIO V60 Paper Filter along the seam and place it inside the dripper.
Rinse
Place the dripper on a server or mug, and rinse the paper with hot water. Don't forget to remove the water from the server after rinsing!
Coffee
Add coffee grounds (medium-fine grind) to your liking and shake it lightly to level out the coffee.
* 10-12g is normally good for one serving (120mL). Using freshly ground coffee is highly recommended.
Bloom
Take the boiling water off the flame, and wait for the water to settle. Pour hot water slowly to moisten the grounds from the center outward, while moving in a circular pattern. Wait for about 30 seconds.
Brew
Slowly start adding more water using the same speed and swirling motion as before, making sure the water does not come into direct contact with the paper filter. Pour quicker for a smoother taste, or slower for a richer taste.
Brewing time should be within 3 minutes.
Serve
Carefully swirl your coffee in the server to properly mix all the layers. Serve and enjoy!

About the V60 Dripper
The award-winning HARIO V60 Dripper is the dripper of choice for coffee professionals and enthusiasts all over the world, and available in a range of materials, sizes and colours to fit any kitchen or coffee corner!
HARIO was founded over a century ago, in 1921, as a manufacturer of laboratory glassware. In 1948, we released our first coffee siphon, and we continued innovating.
HARIO released the V60 in 2005, in a market that was dominated by traditional trapezoidal drippers. With its unique design, the V60 dripper allowed you to brew your favourite coffee with varying speeds of extraction, and quickly took the coffee world by storm.
Loved by hobbyists and professionals alike, the V60 was used to win the World Brewers Cup six times; more than any other dripper!
What Makes V60 Special?
FEATURE 01
Unique Cone Shape
The V60's distinctive cone shape allows the layers of coffee grounds to become thicker than on the flat surface of a traditional trapezoid-shaped dripper. The cone-shape lets hot water flow toward the centre, allowing it to stay in contact with the coffee grounds longer and ensuring a proper extraction of taste and aromatic constituents from the coffee grounds.
FEATURE 02
Spiral Ribs
When the coffee is saturated, the high ribs do not hinder its expansion, and a layer of air is created between the paper and the dripper wall. The twisted ribs prevent the paper and the dripper from sticking to each other, letting the air flow through and allowing the coffee to expand adequately. This promotes a smooth extraction.
FEATURE 03
Single, Large Hole
The V60 features one large hole at the bottom, as opposed to several smaller ones seen in for example traditional trapezoid-shaped drippers. This allows the tip of the filter paper to protrude through the hole, which in turn allows the hot water to perform extraction closer to that of a cloth filter, as it is unrestricted by the dripper. Changing the pour speed allows you to brew coffee with your preferred taste, stronger or lighter.

NEO
V60 NEO's unique rib design refines flavour balance while minimizing bitterness. With 72 ribs converging into 9 at the base, this original structure allows water to flow evenly along the entire wall. The result is a faster extraction that produces a clean yet full-bodied cup. It also greatly reduces clogging, making this brewer great for starters as well.
One-Pour
The MUGEN dripper can easily brew delicious pour over coffee in one single pour.
Instead of the V60's spiral ribs, the MUGEN features star-shaped grooves, allowing paper filters stick to the dripper and coffee to flow downwards at a steady pace.
No Walls
The Suiren has removable ribs that you can easily click into place on the base ring. Together, these ribs recreate the V60's iconic spiral ribs, in a unique take on the classic dripper. Combine ribs in different colours and create your own, custom dripper in a flash!
