HARIO V60 Drip-Assist, 02 Clear

Allows you to pour water from an ordinary kettle (so good if you don't have a special swan neck type) into a Hario V60/Switch type brewer without disturbing the coffee ground bed. If that is something you are eager to try as part of your brewing method/recipe, this could avoid the cost of a swan neck kettle. Just place on top and pour into the centre circle which fills up and flows into the outer circle. Both areas drip into the brewer thus spreading out and reducing the flow of water. Cheap and easy to use. Just rinse if it gets coffee on it.

Would get 5 if it was glass

Lovely little thing. I think it is actually more effective than a pour-over kettle, and a lot more convenient. Really clever design with two different flow rates. The most important thing is that it really does make better coffee.

I dont know whether i expected too much as it was vouched for by 2013 world barista champion but hugely disappointed that at the slightest touch the shower head angles itself in the V60 dripper. I have a Hario Ceramic Switch V60 & glass WPM V60 & none of them make a shred of difference to the above. The idea is to add consistency to your pour & had wanted to purchase the melodrip but couldn't find a UK source so opted for this. It will be returned (unused) & i have purchased the MHW adjustable shower head at half the price & it will hopefully stay put when the pour begins. Cannot believe this is better designed by Hario. Am i missing something Hario?

Excellent starter bundle! I love a goose neck kettle or just for pour from but packing one isn’t practical when traveling to the office or backpacking. This is where the dripper becomes an essential. Arguably it makes a better less turbulent v60 than any other goose neck can. Highly recommend.

This is very useful for coffees which have a lot of fines as it completely eliminates any agitation of the coffee bed while adding water. Ethiopian coffees can tend to have very long draw down times, and this helps a lot. Very useful addition to your V60 setup.

I bought this item, hoping to replace my cheap, 100 yen drip assist. Whilst it is much more robust, and not as sensitive to very hot water, it doesn't seem to slow the descent of the water very much. With the cheap dripper, you can fill it to the desired level, and then wait for it to work its magic. The Hario drip assist - costing 40 times as much - allows the water to slip through with almost no resistance, rendering the additional step pointless. I recently purchased another product from Hario that incorporates a ball bearing. This allows you to fill to desired amount, leave the water to sit in the coffee grounds as long as desired, and then, by way of lever, lifting the the ball bearing to release the brewed coffee. Even then, the flow is much slower than the drip assist. All in all, a much better solution!

Must have item for pour over, fantastic result for manual brewing

Works as intended and is a great way to enjoy a coffee without the fuss that usually comes with brewing with a V60

Works well Coffee is less extracted but can taste good
