The Hario V60 is a classic brewing device named after the angle its cone shape creates. This Japanese company has roots in producing high-grade glass for chemicals dating back to the 1920s. They even created their own refined heat-proof glass named the Hario Glass, which they found out decades later is also a good vessel for brewing coffee. Produced in 2005, the V60 has become their best selling product to date. Made from a variety of materials such as ceramic, glass, plastic, and copper, it can be used with either paper or metal filters. Its versatility as a coffee brewer comes from the overall structure—the cone shape adds depth to the layers and flavor of the coffee you’re brewing, its spiral ribs allow for the coffee to expand during extraction, and the large hole at the bottom gives you more control over the flow rate of your brew. It’s definitely a product loved by many, both rookie brewers and professionals alike.
