Description
The Hario V60 is the most iconic pour-over coffee dripper in the world — the brewer that defined the third-wave specialty coffee movement and remains the first choice of baristas, competition brewers, and home coffee enthusiasts decades after its introduction. The White Ceramic V60 is the premium expression of this classic design: a beautiful, heat-retaining ceramic body that maintains brewing temperature more effectively than plastic or glass versions, delivering cleaner, more consistent extraction cup after cup.
Made in Japan by Hario — the original glass and ceramic specialists — and available in two sizes to suit solo brewing or sharing, the V60 White Ceramic is as at home on a café counter as it is on a kitchen worktop.
Why the Hario V60 White Ceramic is the Best V60 to Own
Hario produces the V60 in several materials — plastic, glass, metal, and ceramic. Each has its place, but the ceramic version is widely considered the best for home brewing thanks to its superior heat retention. Where plastic cools quickly and glass loses heat to the air, ceramic absorbs and holds warmth, pre-heats effectively, and keeps the brewing environment stable throughout the pour — which is critical for consistent extraction.
- Ceramic body — the premium V60 material; retains heat during brewing for more consistent extraction temperature and improved flavour clarity
- 60-degree cone angle — the defining V60 geometry; a steeper cone than most drippers, promoting longer water contact time and deeper, more even extraction through the full coffee bed
- Spiral internal ribs — 24 raised ridges run from the base to the rim of the dripper, creating an air channel between the filter paper and the dripper wall; this prevents the filter from sealing against the sides and allows air to escape freely, improving water flow and extraction evenness
- Single large bottom hole — one open drain hole allows full barista control over flow rate through pour speed, grind size, and technique, rather than restricting flow through multiple small holes
- Compatible with Hario V60 paper filters — size 01 (VCF-01) for the 01 dripper, size 02 (VCF-02) for the 02 dripper; both available at Coffee Hit
- Made in Japan by Hario — Japan's leading heat-resistant glass and ceramic manufacturer, founded in 1921 and trusted by specialty coffee professionals worldwide

What is Pour-Over Coffee and Why Does it Taste Different?
Pour-over brewing involves manually pouring hot water over coffee grounds held in a filter, controlling the speed, volume, and pattern of the pour to direct extraction. Unlike immersion methods (French press, AeroPress) or automatic machines, pour-over places the brewer entirely in control of how water interacts with the coffee — making it possible to highlight brightness, sweetness, body, or clarity depending on technique.
The V60's cone shape, single hole, and spiral ribs are all designed to give the brewer maximum control and maximum airflow — the two things that allow this style of brewing to produce the clean, complex, tea-like clarity that makes it the method of choice for showcasing specialty and single-origin coffees.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Hario V60 01 and 02? The V60 01 is designed for single-cup brewing, with a smaller cone suited to brewing approximately 1 cup at a time using a size 01 filter. The V60 02 is larger, designed for 1–4 cups using a size 02 filter, and is the most commonly used size in both home and café settings. If you regularly brew for one person, the 01 is perfectly sized. If you sometimes brew for two or more, or simply prefer the flexibility, the 02 is the better choice.
Why is the ceramic V60 better than the plastic version? The ceramic V60 retains heat significantly better than plastic, which means it pre-heats more effectively and maintains a more stable brewing temperature throughout the pour. This leads to more consistent extraction and better flavour clarity. Plastic is lighter, more portable, and less fragile — ideal for travel or café volume service — but for home brewing where performance is the priority, ceramic is the premium choice.
What filters does the Hario V60 ceramic use? The V60 01 uses Hario V60 size 01 cone paper filters. The V60 02 uses Hario V60 size 02 cone paper filters. Both sizes are available at Coffee Hit. Hario also produces tabbed and untabbed versions; either works with the ceramic V60.
Why is it called the V60? The name refers to the dripper's 60-degree cone angle. The "V" shape at 60 degrees creates the specific geometry that makes the V60 distinctive — a steeper cone than most competitors, which promotes a deeper, more even extraction through the full coffee bed.
What grind size should I use with the V60? For a standard V60 pour-over, a medium-fine grind is a good starting point — finer than drip coffee, coarser than espresso. The exact setting will depend on your grinder, your coffee, and your pour technique. The V60 is highly responsive to grind adjustment, making it an excellent tool for dialling in and exploring how grind size affects flavour.
Is the Hario V60 dishwasher safe? The ceramic V60 can be rinsed and cleaned easily by hand. Hario recommends hand washing to maintain the glaze and longevity of the ceramic body.
