Hario V60 Metal Coffee Dripper 02

1. What touches the water and coffee 45% of the rating 4 of 5

   Uncoated stainless steel and paper in the water path, with a silicone holder outside it. Minor gaps: the steel grade is not given and Hario does not say how the white paper is bleached.

2. Independent testing 10% of the rating 1 of 5

   We found no test of this dripper or of Hario’s filters, from Hario or anyone else.

3. Durability 20% of the rating 4 of 5

   A steel cone that cannot break or wear out and goes in the dishwasher. The silicone holder is removable. Hario’s page states no warranty.

4. Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   No recall or Prop 65 notice names Hario, and it states “No Coating” for the silver version. It says little more: no steel grade, no test and no warranty on the page.

5. Value 15% of the rating 4 of 5

   About $40.50, $10 more than the ceramic V60 and about the same as the Kalita steel dripper.

1. Dripper: stainless steel, no coating, made in Japan, dishwasher safe (Hario, silver version). The matte black version is powder coated; we did not assess it.
2. Holder: silicone rubber, removable, sits under the dripper on the cup (Hario). Coffee does not flow through it.
3. Hario V60 02 paper filter: paper pulp, “chemical free”, made without glue, FSC certified, made in Japan. The bleaching method is not stated.

Is it plain steel with no coating?

Hario (opens in a new tab) lists the silver version as “Stainless Steel, No Coating” and the matte black version as “Stainless Steel, Powder Coating”. Buy the silver. Hario gives no steel grade and we found no test.

What is the silicone holder?

Hario lists the holder as silicone rubber and says it is removable. It sits between the dripper and the cup, so the coffee does not run through it, but it is warmed by the dripper. We found no test of it.

What about the paper filters?

Hario (opens in a new tab) calls its V60 filters “chemical free”, made without glue and FSC certified. It does not say how the white paper is bleached, and we found no PFAS or other lab test, so we cannot compare them with the PFAS marker an independent lab found in Chemex’s Natural filters.

Is the cheaper Amazon version the same one?

Amazon sells a silver size 02 V60 Metal dripper for about $26, against $40.50 at Hario USA and Prima Coffee. The seller is a third party (Press 18), not Hario, and Amazon shows a $39.50 list price. We cannot check where that seller gets its stock. Do not confuse it with Hario’s separate “Outdoor” V60 metal dripper, which is a different model.

• Hario lists the silver version as “Stainless Steel, No Coating”, made in Japan and dishwasher safe, so the water meets steel and paper.
• No glaze to worry about and nothing to break. The holder is a removable silicone ring outside the water path.
• The price is posted: $40.50 for the silver 02, with V60 paper filters at about $10 for 100.
• It is the same V60 shape as Hario’s $30.50 ceramic dripper, so the same filters and technique work.

• Hario gives no steel grade, no test and no warranty on the page, and does not say how its white filters are bleached.
• Skip the matte black version, which Hario lists as powder coated, and Hario’s Meteor filters, which contain PLA, a plastic.
