Hario Coffee Dripper V60 Size 01 White Ceramic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review applies specifically to the 01 model Hario, the one-cup cone. There are plenty of on-line videos about pour-overs, all of which use multi-cup versions of the Hario. Great for learning the basics. However, the small size of this one presents some unique challenges.
1. Grind is critical, or Avoiding Spit and Donuts. Because of the dime-sized drain hole of the Hario and the small volume of grounds, getting your grind right is critical. Grind too coarse and the water runs right through the coffee. The bloom will be white and consist of large bubbles (the Spit). Grind too small and the water goes through too slowly. As you pour into the center, you'll push the bloom to the edges with a murky brown hole on the center (the Donut). Perfection will get you a bloom that looks like cinnamon on cream foam covering all the grounds.
2. Ground volume is critical, or Too Much is Just Right. My wife and I have decided that we need more than a tablespoon of grounds to get the right amount of oomph into the cup. At one level tablespoon and the proper grind, we hit the desired three-minute pour and rendered wonderful fruit with floral overtones - but alas, too little body. So we're going to bump the grounds to a tablespoon and a half. YMMV.
3. Brew target, or the Carafe at the Old Ball Game. As I've grown older, my x-ray vision has begun to fail, so a ceramic mug is OOQ to brew into. We also decided that as attractive as the matching Hario carafe is, a 12-oz Ball jar makes a great target. Clear glass with two ounce intervals embossed into the glass, perfect size for the filter cone. When you're brewing one cup at a time, do you seriously want to measure cold water into your kettle in 6-oz amounts, heat it up, and do the pour-over? I don't. I want to be able to pour-over a cup for myself after I've made one for my wife so we can share at least part of the coffee together.
You'll know when you'e got it right - it makes a great cup.
