Hario V60 Transparent Dripper – Plastic Pour-Over Hand Filter
Hot water meets freshly ground coffee, finds its way down the curved ridges, and drips clearly into your cup. You see every phase – how the grounds bloom, how the surface settles, how the infusion slowly passes through.
It's precisely this visibility that makes the transparent V60 special. Through the clear AS resin, you observe the entire brewing process and learn with each cup how your coffee tastes best. There's no right or wrong – the only thing that matters is that you enjoy it.
The conical body with a 60-degree angle sets the coffee bed deep, and the spiral inner ribs keep the paper filter away from the wall. This allows water to circulate freely around the grounds, instead of pooling. The large opening at the tip gives you control: if you pour quickly, the body will be finer and clearer; if you pour slowly, it will be fuller and rounder. You control the aromatic time window via grind size and pouring speed, entirely to your taste.
The fact that this dripper is made of plastic is not a compromise. The lightweight AS resin retains heat remarkably well inside, remains only lukewarm to the touch outside, and withstands daily use and travel without shattering. Many who brew by hand daily deliberately choose this version. A good pour-over depends on you, not on the price of the dripper. This is our view, one of many.

Who the V60 Dripper is Made For
For everyone who brews their coffee by hand and enjoys the moment when water, grounds, and time become a cup. Size 01 is suitable if you usually brew one to two cups. For about 300 ml or more cups, choose size 02.
Because it is lightweight and shatterproof, the transparent V60 is used at home as well as in the office, vacation home, or backpack. Those who like can create a small ritual with a kettle, scale, and server – those who just want a good cup can achieve their goal with a dripper and filter. Every coffee journey is valid.
What Pairs Well With It
Freshly ground, pour-over tastes most vibrant. Those looking for an affordable, precise hand grinder will find it among hand grinders like the Comandante; those who want to grind electrically and particularly evenly should look at the Weber Workshops EG-1.
A scale makes every pour-over repeatable – compact and reliable from the Normcore Collection, or with flow-rate display and app connectivity from Acaia. A gooseneck kettle with a narrow spout ensures a fine, even pour.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Hario V60 Dripper
Which size is right for me – 01 or 02?
The 01 is designed for one to two cups, the 02 for one to four cups or from about 300 ml. If you often brew for multiple people, the 02 offers more flexibility.
Which paper filters do I need?
For the 01, use Hario V60 paper filters in size 01; for the 02, use size 02 – the two are not interchangeable. Matching filters can be found in our Hario Collection.
Does the plastic affect the taste?
No. The AS resin is taste-neutral and does not transfer any odor or color to the coffee. It is lightweight, robust, and retains heat well during extraction – a reason why many deliberately choose the plastic version.
Where can I buy the Hario V60 Dripper in Switzerland?
You can order it online throughout Switzerland and Liechtenstein, with delivery taking 2–4 business days. You can view it live in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). We are happy to answer questions at office@coffeecoachingclub.ch, and you can find more about us at coffeecoachingclub.ch.
How do I clean the dripper?
Rinse it briefly after each use and let it dry. It is dishwasher safe, which makes daily cleaning particularly easy.
From our coffee roastery: Pour-over produces fine, clear cups – and our dense, full-bodied beans truly shine in it. For most, we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight: round, sweet, with chocolate and nut notes. Those who prefer maximum body without any acidity will love Very Nutty. And for a fruity, lively experience, Wild Peach reveals a completely different side of filter coffee. This is our recommendation, one of many.
