What the V60 Is

The Hario V60 is the cone dripper behind more specialty coffee than any other brewer: 60-degree walls, spiral ribs, and a single large opening that gives you full control over flow rate. This is the ceramic version, made in Japan, which replaces the plastic V60 most people encounter first.

What Touches the Water

Hot water contacts glazed ceramic and a paper filter, then falls into whatever vessel you brew over; choose glass or steel and the whole path is plastic free. The plastic V60 brews identically but runs hot water over plastic every single morning, which is exactly the trade this site exists to help you avoid.

The Plastic-Free Verdict: 100% Plastic Free

Ceramic, paper, done. The V60 asks a little technique, a gooseneck kettle helps, and pays back with a clean, bright cup. At this price it is the easiest plastic-free entry point we list. Pair it with the Fellow Stagg EKG for temperature control, or the organic cotton filters to go reusable.
