HARIOV60 Drip Coffee Decanter, 700ml, Black

Look, man, I was a tea drinker for years. Hot water and leaves. Easy. I bought this, needing more caffeine, and enjoyed it. I'd dump in grounds, fill with hot water, and drink a cup, originally, and it did well enough.I was looking for good ratios to get a stronger cup and instead learned how to wet and properly brew grounds. Dude, keurigs and electric drippers aren't even close to this in flavor.Done right, you will wet the filter w hot water, dump grounds (2 tbsp per cup), level them, wet them barely and then let sit for 45 seconds. They shouldn't have a funnel shape to them unless you used too much water and started the brewing process. Use just enough to wet the grounds. If your grounds are clumpy, run a toothpick through the grounds and gently shake to level again. After grounds have bloomed (they go from a bitter flavor to a more subtle sweet and detailed flavor) you can now slowly add water in a spiral pattern. You should use a gooseneck kettle to not disturb the grounds too much.You can time your steps, use a scale, make concentrate instead of coffee and so on, but I am usually half awake when using this. This is what wakes me up after all. It's a thoughtless but mindful ritual. Even at night when I want some coffee, this simple hario draws the flavor out of my decaf beans. It is a two-piece device so it is super easy to rinse off and give a good scrub to every few days.This is overall low maintenance, high quality, able to brew 1-4 cups, is compact, and makes a complex coffee.

It's easy to clean, no complicated parts, and the weight of the pot is minimal. Another great thing about this pot is the grip pad included, which makes it more secure in handling the glass carafe.The only thing I don't like about it is the plastic filter, which is a microplastic issue. I replaced it with a reusable stainless steel permanent filter, which has worked out great.If you want a light weight, portable coffee pot that is simple to clean and makes great coffee, then you won't regret purchasing this pot.

I purchased this to use in conjunction with a Hario Switch 3.0 pourer dripper. Nicely made, but appears to need to handled with care, as it does appear fragile. Very nice shape, fits the hand nicely and the Switch fits quite well in the carafe neck opening. You can easily do a 500 gram put with this carafe and see the consistency of the coffee being brewed. Construction does remind me of science lab glassware, though. i actually look forward to using this instead of my chemed as it is really made for 300 to 500 gram pours.

I have only words of adoration for this product, first: the presentation, it comes so well packed, so organized in a nice box.The glass decanter is impeccable, as well as the V60 material and shape, and it comes with some awesome paper filters that fit just right.And it even has a belt thingy to grab the glass while it's hot, and that thing is absolutely necessary, helps a LOT.But the most important... the taste of the final coffee after you make it, it's just fantastic, I followed James Hoffman V60 Technique using 500ml water with 30g of coffee and it came out delicious, in fact, he even recommends using this exact same product, and I'm so GLAD I did.Just remember to use good quality coffee beans and grinder, doesn't have to be expensive, just some coffee that is GOOD and well known in your area.

I am very happy with this item. The glass heats up slowly, the lines assist with correct water flow for the coffee where the filter goes, it is attractive to have on the coffee bar between use, it’s very light, the heat resistant pour stop is secure but easy to take off and put back on. It holds more than enough coffee for me and my SO, but we usually use a scale and make just enough for a cup each. The taste is leagues better than our last few pour over options that we invested in.

I had a stand-alone V60 for a while that I would use to brew directly into my cup. This was fine, but it took forever to cool enough to be drinkable (usually around 20 minutes). With this one, the simple act of pouring it from the decanter into the mug is enough to cut that time down dramatically.It's quality glassware with a nice pouring spout. The plastic cone is great as plastic absorbs heat really well and does not take much effort to pre-heat. To get both a quality carafe and V60 brewer together for this price is a fantastic deal. Make sure you have a good grinder, though, as that's by far and away the most crucial thing you need to brew quality coffee.

Absolutely perfect. Comes with filters as well which was a great bonus. Quickly rinsed it out and began brewing a great pour over - very happy with this

The glass is very nice, though it feels a little thin. Not cheap feeling but it doesn't give the confidence that it's robust and that one wrong move on a solid material will mean cracking or breaking itThe black belt thing is great. It's very smooth and keeps the heat away well and is big enough you can hold it a little carelessly without fear that some skin will touch the hot glass. It's also fairly stretchy so removing it isn't too much of a pain. The plastic funnel is very nice, It doesn't fit perfectly so if move it around you can hear the plastic move around and hit the glass, but the gap isn't massive. You could call that a flaw; but that also means that it's very easy to pick up the plastic funnel and do a swirl while brewing. It feels like quality plastic, has little feat so it can stand on it's own when removed from the decanter, very easy to clean. The glass itself on the outside is easy to clean, but getting a hand though the middle to clean the bottom with a sponge is very hard. Either a bottle cleaner or... hope that what you can manage is good enough, or a dish washer. Though Imo, a little rinse after use is good enough for a while.As for making coffee, well, I suppose that depends on you and your technique. It's made me very good coffee and I'm very happy to have it.
