The Brewing Lab

The V60 was created by Hario in 2004. Its design is based on three main pillars: a conical shape to prolong the contact time with the coffee bed, a single large hole, and internal spiral ribs that allow air to escape, preventing the water from stalling and causing an inconsistent extraction.

It is so versatile that it is considered the ultimate method for all coffees, but it especially favours high-altitude, washed coffees, as its design highlights a vibrant acidity. The cup profile is exceptionally clean and light-bodied, similar to a tea infusion, making it easy to distinguish very subtle notes that other methods would hide.
