Hario V60 Glass Coffee Dripper, Size 02, Olive Wood

I've had this pour over coffee dripper for about a year and I still love it. I use it 5-6 times a day with paper filters and it makes a perfect cup every time. The olive wood is still gorgeous and it has bowed since I bought it, but that happens when applying boiling hot water and steam to wood, and frankly I'm glad it doesn't have a thick coating of epoxy or polyurethane to seep into my morning mug of joe. Good product!

Granted, I had to wait for it to be shipped all the way from Japan (duh, Hario :) ) but it was so worth it! I ordered it for my husband for Christmas and it was a killer gift! Not only it’s beautiful and stylish, most important it makes a great pour over :) highly recommend ❤️

I’ve been using a chemex-style brewer for the last year, and realized that 90% of the time I am just brewing for one cup anyway. I got this Hario V60 and love the glass and wood—it feels of good quality. Its also durable—I dropped it out of a cabinet by mistake and not a scratch, chip, or dent (but i might have been lucky)! This comes apart very smartly. There is a very wide rubber gasket that is almost the full radius of the wood. The gasket (that is nicely branded with H A R I O capital letters) tension fits into an indentation in the wood. The glass filter holder inserts securely into the gasket, and rests on the wood. The heat or steam of the coffee won’t affect or warp the very thick wood because the gasket is actually what is in contact with the cup, not the wood or much of the glass really. I am very happy with this very premium-feeling part of my daily morning routine.

Works perfectly

Great alternative to the plastic V60. I used the plastic V60 for years due to it's good heat coefficient. I eventually wanted something that looked and felt more high quality (and wasn't made from plastic) so I opted for the glass over the ceramic. This one looks good and brews just as well as the plastic V60. The main difference is you need to be more intentional about preheating both the brewer and whatever decanter you use as there will be less heat retention. I wrap my brewer in a wet paper towel and put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds before brewing and it has greatly improved my extraction.

I have been making pour-over coffee for decades. The ceramic drippers, while good, generally have small bases that don't fit today's larger mugs. The openings at their bases are also small, making the drip process take so long that the coffee is only warm by the end of the process. This glass dripper with the olive wood base has a substantially larger opening that allows the coffee to flow faster. The rubber gasket along with the wood base seals the heat in the mug, keeping it much warmer than would normally be the case. Washing it is easy as it comes apart. My suggestion is to wash and dry the gasket immediately after use to avoid mold accumulating, as others have reported. I have kept my previous dripper as a backup, but I doubt I'll need it for a long, long time.

I was aware of the reviews indicating that the wooden holder warps easily but what I didn’t expect was to get a warped holder right out of the box. I really like this design and I was hoping mine would be one of the good ones but now I’m convinced that this is a design flaw that will persist. I decided to get a V60 set with a glass cone and a clear holder. I did some research and I’ll, most likely, purchase a wooden base from somewhere else that might give me the look I want with, potentially, no warping in the future. Or at least it will be cheaper.
