I've recently added the plastic HARIO V60 02 dripper to my coffee brewing arsenal, and it has quickly become a cornerstone of my morning ritual. As an avid coffee enthusiast, finding the right tools that combine functionality with efficiency is crucial, and this dripper does just that.One of the standout features of this model, which is crucial for any coffee brewer, is its heat retention capabilities. Unlike other materials, the plastic construction of this V60 not only makes it easy to handle and preheat but also retains heat exceptionally well throughout the brewing process. This consistent temperature maintenance is key to extracting the fullest flavor from your coffee grounds, ensuring a rich and robust cup every time. Additionally, this is a rather thick plastic. It is exceptionally smooth and does not look or feel as cheap as it is.The dripper's design is also worth noting. It accommodates 1-4 cups, making it perfect for personal use or when entertaining guests. The transparent plastic not only looks sleek but allows for visibility of the coffee as it brews, enhancing the overall experience and making it easier to achieve the perfect brew by observing the drip rate and color.This V60 brewer combines aesthetic appeal with functional excellence. Its superior heat retention, especially noteworthy in the plastic version, makes it a superior choice for those seeking to refine their pour-over technique and enjoy a consistently great cup of coffee. Whether you’re a seasoned barista or a home brew enthusiast, this dripper is an excellent investment.

Just as described and perfect in design and use. This is how it supposed to be, and I purchased the ceramic vs plastic because plastic does get damaged over time with hot water and if using boiling water, which I like to use, I figured porcelain/ceramic is better and worth the price. Yes, I have to be careful not to break it, and its like any other coffee mug, break it and replace it. Its not that heavy or bulky, just like a typical mug, just a bit more weight. Plastic is way lighter in weight and forgiving if you drop it or hit it by an accident, so that would be 2 benefits to purchasing plastic one, which I do recommend as well. (Hario brand). Plastic is also better for travel or camping, but I would take this one camping as well if need be.I do recommend this product and I didn’t want to go with a knockoff, because I respect Hario and their craftsmanship is on point. Buying knockoffs will get you by and sometimes, its worth the extra bucks to get the original piece knowing it will not fail you in design and functionality. (Unless you get lucky and find a great knockoff, which I didn’t want to bother this time).You can use almost any filter with it if you fold it and make it cone shape. I use big filters I have left from traditional coffee machine. Will say that its best when your coffee grounds are fine and some store-bought coffee grounds are too coarse so I rather grind my own, extra fine, and you get more out of your coffee, plus fresh grounds are always more aromatic and indulging. But any coffee grounds will work, I just find it using less of fine vs coarse grounds to achieve the same results. Remember, coffee industry recommends 2 tablespoons (10g) for every 6 oz water, which is a good place to start to find your preference. Double the amounts when using this dripper and make sure your mug or glass is 12oz or more to avoid overspill.Hope this review gives you a better idea about Hario V60 coffee dripper 02 ceramic.This review gave me something to do this weekend, for sure!
