The Hario V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper is a lightweight and durable manual pour-over brewer, frequently favored by professionals and enthusiasts for its superior thermal stability. As part of the iconic V60 series, it utilizes the same geometry as its ceramic and metal counterparts while offering a more accessible and travel-friendly alternative.

Design & Performance

Thermal Stability and Extraction

Unlike ceramic or metal, the high-quality clear plastic used in this dripper has low thermal conductivity. It does not “steal” heat from the brewing water, ensuring that the slurry temperature remains consistent from the start of the pour to the end. This leads to a more predictable extraction and is often preferred in competitive brewing environments.

V60 Geometry

The dripper retains the core functional design elements that define the V60 system:

• 60-Degree Angle: The conical shape forces water to pass through the center of the coffee bed, increasing contact time.
• Spiral Ribbing: Internal ridges prevent the filter paper from sticking to the sides, allowing air to escape and supporting a consistent flow rate.
• Large Discharge Hole: The flow rate is controlled by the user’s pouring technique and the grind size of the coffee, rather than the physical restriction of the dripper base.

Material & Durability

Constructed from clear Acrylonitrile-Styrene (AS) Resin, this dripper is designed for both longevity and safety:

• Impact Resistance: The plastic construction is highly resistant to cracking or breaking, making it suitable for travel and busy cafe environments.
• Transparency: The clear body allows the user to monitor the brewing process and filter placement from any angle.
