Hario V-60 Brewer
Hario of Japan has quite possibly perfected the manual pour over brewer with this brilliant device. In testing, we have found that the shape of the cone filter is what contributes most to the brewers consistency in brew quality, ensuring that all the coffee is saturated evenly during wetting and extracted evenly during brewing. In addition, its large spiraling ridges help to keep the filter off the sidewalls of the brewer, so that coffee may extract out the sides, as well as the bottom of the filter. These spirals also allow steam to escape, helping to enable more consistent, even extractions. Finally, and maybe most impressively, the paper filters that Hario has created specifically for use with this device yield no paper taste in your cup and thus do not require rinsing. We despise the “paper taste” that is so frequently attributed with other brands of paper filter, so this was a very pleasant surprise for us.
