help Hario V60 Dripper FAQ
Why is the Hario V60 called V60?
The name comes from the cone's V shape and 60-degree angle. Its spiral ribs and large bottom hole give the brewer more control over flow rate than many flat-bottom drippers.
Which V60 size should one person buy?
The 02 size is the most common all-around choice because it can brew a single mug or a small two-cup batch. The 01 is better for small single servings, while the 03 is aimed at larger brews.
Does the V60 need special paper filters?
Yes, the V60 uses cone-shaped Hario-style filters rather than standard basket filters. Matching the filter size to the dripper, such as 01 or 02, helps avoid collapsing paper and uneven extraction.
Why do coffee recipes mention grind size so much with the V60?
Because the V60 has one large drain hole, grind size strongly affects how fast water passes through the coffee bed. A medium-fine grind is a common starting point, but recipes from brewers like James Hoffmann often adjust grind, dose, and pour timing together.
