HarioV60 Dripper, Size 02.

Hario’s own product page lists this dripper as the V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper 02, sold under product numbers VD-02R, VD-02T and VD-02W depending on color, molded from Acrylonitrile-styrene resin at W137xD116xH102mm and made in Japan. Our own pour-over guide’s gear list names “Hario V60 dripper and paper filters” as required equipment without specifying a size or material, and this is that dripper: the same V60 shape the guide’s dial, steps and troubleshooting compass are all written around.

The guide’s prep step grinds medium so water can move through five separate pours without stalling. Hario states the dripper’s spiral ridges and lack of flow restriction let water move quickly for a lighter body or slowly for a heavier one, the same ridged interior the guide’s compass points to when it tells a stalled or uneven brew to “re-seat the filter fully against the dripper’s ribs” and keep the spiral pour centred rather than concentrated on one side. Prima Coffee’s listing adds that the plastic body insulates better than ceramic or glass, which lines up with the guide’s own note that rinsing the filter “preheats the brewer” before the water arrives at 90 to 96C.

Hario rates the 02 size for 1 to 4 cups, covering the guide’s base recipe of 15g of coffee to 250g of water for one cup and the same ratio scaled up for more. None of the three sources fetched this run publish an exact liquid capacity in mL or L, or a matching paper filter model number, only the shared “02” sizing convention between Hario’s dripper and filter lines.

FAQ

What size and material does this dossier cover?

The plastic version, size 02, sold under product numbers VD-02R (red), VD-02T (clear) and VD-02W (white), per Hario’s own product page. The Amazon listing checked this run, amazon.com/dp/B001RBTSMM, is the clear plastic version.

How many cups can the V60 02 brew?

Hario states a capacity of 1-4 Cups. Our pour-over guide’s base recipe doses 15g of coffee to 250g of water for one cup, and its scaler note says the same ratio holds at any scale, so a 1 to 4 cup dripper covers that full range.

Does the plastic body affect water temperature during the brew?

Prima Coffee’s listing states the plastic V60 offers better insulation than the ceramic or glass version, for better temperature stability. Our guide asks for water fresh off the boil, ideally 90 to 96C at contact, and for the rinse step to preheat the brewer before that water arrives.

Do I need a specific paper filter for this dripper?

Our guide’s prep step calls for rinsing the paper filter before brewing, but none of the three sources fetched this run publish a specific filter model number for this dripper. Hario markets both the dripper and its filters under the shared “02” size designation, and the guide’s compass notes that the filter needs to seat fully against the dripper’s ribs, but a distinct filter SKU is not confirmed here.

Is this the exact dripper our pour-over guide is written for?

Yes. The guide’s gear list names “Hario V60 dripper and paper filters” without specifying size or material, and this product, Hario’s plastic V60 02, is that dripper, confirmed against Hario’s own product page and cross-checked on Prima Coffee, Seattle Coffee Gear and Amazon.
