V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper Size 03

Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

Why we picked it

Plastic body heats to brew temperature faster than ceramic / glass

Warranty: Not formally warrantied — Hario replaces broken units on requestMade in: Japan

Hario's V60 is the manual pourover cone the third-wave coffee movement built itself around — and the plastic Size 03 (12-cup capacity) is, paradoxically, the version most pro baristas recommend for home use over the ceramic and glass versions. The reason is thermal: ceramic and glass cones steal heat from the brew water on the first pour, requiring preheating; the plastic Size 03 hits brewing temperature in seconds and holds it. The 60-degree cone angle, single large drain hole, and internal spiral ridges produce the V60's signature even-extraction flavor profile. r/Coffee consensus is that this $13 plastic cone makes better coffee than $200 home drip machines once you've practiced the pour. The plastic itself is BPA-free and proven indestructible over a decade-plus of daily use.
