Hario V60 Drip Coffee Decanter, 700ml, Black

Look, man, I was a tea drinker for years. Hot water and leaves. Easy. I bought this, needing more caffeine, and enjoyed it. I'd dump in grounds, fill with hot water, and drink a cup, originally, and it did well enough. I was looking for good ratios to get a stronger cup and instead learned how to wet and properly brew grounds. Dude, keurigs and electric drippers aren't even close to this in flavor. Done right, you will wet the filter w hot water, dump grounds (2 tbsp per cup), level them, wet them barely and then let sit for 45 seconds. They shouldn't have a funnel shape to them unless you used too much water and started the brewing process. Use just enough to wet the grounds. If your grounds are clumpy, run a toothpick through the grounds and gently shake to level again. After grounds have bloomed (they go from a bitter flavor to a more subtle sweet and detailed flavor) you can now slowly add water in a spiral pattern. You should use a gooseneck kettle to not disturb the grounds too much. You can time your steps, use a scale, make concentrate instead of coffee and so on, but I am usually half awake when using this. This is what wakes me up after all. It's a thoughtless but mindful ritual. Even at night when I want some coffee, this simple hario draws the flavor out of my decaf beans. It is a two-piece device so it is super easy to rinse off and give a good scrub to every few days. This is overall low maintenance, high quality, able to brew 1-4 cups, is compact, and makes a complex coffee.

For the price you get amazing glassware, a fully functional and integrated v60 brewer and 40 pieces of filter paper included. Amazing value

Five stars because there's not a thing wrong with it and the price is stellar. I was looking for a cheap way to get a pour-over coffee setup in my office and this'll do! BUT I'm still dropping a word of advice for those on the fence about different pour-over options out there... I own the normal Hario v60, an 8-cup Chemex, and then this hybrid Hario thing. The v60 makes perfect sense for brewing for one, two people at the most. It's convenient and even travel friendly. I believe the thinner filter (which you also use for this one) lets more oils through so you can often pick up on more flavor notes than with the Chemex, and you really know when you've just done the perfect pour. The Chemex makes perfect sense for brewing for just about any size group, and produces a more consistent cup of coffee that's more forgiving for beginners due to the thicker filter that kind of slows the flow down compared to Hario filters. You get a very clean cup of coffee with a Chemex, every time and it looks cool too. Then there's this hybrid, that's sort of like a mama v60 and daddy Chemex had a baby. It's cool and there's nothing wrong with it, but I really think everyone should purchase her parents first simply as initial coffee gear essentials.

I have only words of adoration for this product, first: the presentation, it comes so well packed, so organized in a nice box. The glass decanter is impeccable, as well as the V60 material and shape, and it comes with some awesome paper filters that fit just right. And it even has a belt thingy to grab the glass while it's hot, and that thing is absolutely necessary, helps a LOT. But the most important... the taste of the final coffee after you make it, it's just fantastic, I followed James Hoffman V60 Technique using 500ml water with 30g of coffee and it came out delicious, in fact, he even recommends using this exact same product, and I'm so GLAD I did. Just remember to use good quality coffee beans and grinder, doesn't have to be expensive, just some coffee that is GOOD and well known in your area.

This is the third carafe that I have bought in 10 years and I thought it was time to write a review. One broke because the movers inexplicably packed it with an old cannonball my husband uses as a bookend and another got a crack in it after being dropped on a tile floor. This is very durable, easy to use, and attractive. You can clean the entire thing in the dishwasher and the silicone band is easy to pop on and off, unlike the fussy (and expensive) chemex solution. I've taken this camping many times and it is perfect for making coffee for my husband and I in one carafe. We used to use the aeropress for camping coffee, but that only makes one cup at a time and that is a dangerous game first thing in the morning. You have to buy special filters for this which generally cannot be found in stores or even many specialty coffee shops. They see them on Amazon but the prices fluctuate wildly and they are often an add on item, so keep that in mind when shopping.

I purchased this to use in conjunction with a Hario Switch 3.0 pourer dripper. Nicely made, but appears to need to handled with care, as it does appear fragile. Very nice shape, fits the hand nicely and the Switch fits quite well in the carafe neck opening. You can easily do a 500 gram put with this carafe and see the consistency of the coffee being brewed. Construction does remind me of science lab glassware, though. i actually look forward to using this instead of my chemed as it is really made for 300 to 500 gram pours.

This item is very good. Cheap, easy to use with #2 Hario filters, and very easy to clean. I just rinse it right after making coffee. You can easily remove the black strap to clean it more thoroughly. The heat retention is okay, but don't leave the coffee in there very long. Great product!

The Hario V60 Glass Decanter is a beautiful and well-designed piece of coffee gear. The glass is sturdy and heat-resistant, and the silicone band gives a secure grip while pouring. It works perfectly with standard V60 filters and allows for great control over the brewing process. Cleaning is easy, and the minimalist design looks great on the counter. My only small gripe is that the glass feels a bit thin, so it requires careful handling, and it doesn’t retain heat for very long. Still, it’s an excellent choice for pour-over enthusiasts who value both function and aesthetics.

Love this decanter, my wife reckons its the best luxurious coffee experience you can get. Its ritualistic in its use! Definitely looks as pretty as advertised and coupled with James Hoffman's V60 Technique, I think it makes the best pour-over anyone can enjoy. Highly recommend using this to take your coffee experience to the next level!

Lekker simpel en van goede kwaliteit, zeker voor deze prijs. In het begin even juiste verhouding zoeken, wat in de handleiding aangegeven staat vond ik te sterk. Heb de dripper nu ruim 1 jaar, gebruik het bijna dagelijks en ben er nog steeds heel blij mee.

Great product for making coffee. It's easy to stick a reusable filter on the top instead of the paper ones, if you have one. The best part is that it's not too expensive, so if it eventually gets smashed, it's easily replaceable.
