The Hario V60, introduced by the Japanese glassmaker in 2004, is the defining pour-over device of the specialty era: a 60-degree cone with spiral ribs and a single large opening that gives the brewer control over flow and extraction. Inexpensive, endlessly available, and supported by countless recipes (including James Hoffmann's widely used method), the V60-02 size is a staple of cafés and home brewers worldwide and a fixture of the World Brewers Cup.
