Hario V60-02 Steel Dripper – Matte Black (VDM-02)

The Hario V60-02 Steel Dripper in Matte Black and Copperis the perfect choice for anyone who wants to brew filter coffee consciously, precisely, and with maximum control. The V60 is the global standard in pour-over coffee, and the metal version combines the iconic V60 design (60° cone, spiral ribs, large opening) with a particularly robust, durable stainless steel housing and a modern, matte black finish.

Why a V60 dripper? Taste, control, clarity

With the V60, you determine the result yourself: grind size, water quantity, temperature, and pouring technique directly influence the taste. This makes the V60 ideal for anyone who wants to get the most out of good beans—from clear, fruity cup profiles to chocolatey, round results.

Advantages of the steel version (matte black)

• Robust & suitable for everyday use: Stainless steel is durable, impact-resistant, and ideal for the kitchen, office, or travel.
• Good heat conductivity: The dripper heats up quickly – for a more stable brew when you preheat it briefly.
• Removable silicone base: secure footing, comfortable to handle, easy to clean.
• Size 02: ideal for 1–4 cups – perfect for everyday use and guests.
• Modern design: the matte black fits perfectly into minimalist setups and high-quality kitchens.

• Beginners who are starting out in the world of hand-brewing and are looking for a durable setup.

Quick brewing recommendation (starter recipe)

If you're looking for a solid starting point, begin with this:

• Coffee: 18 g (medium grind, like coarse table salt)
• Water: 300 g at approx. 92–96 °C
• Bloom: 40–50 g for 30–45 seconds
• Pouring: in 2–3 even pours up to 300 g
• Target time: approx. 2:30–3:15 minutes

Tip: Preheating (dripper + server/cup) ensures greater temperature stability and better reproducibility.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Which filters fit?

You need V60 paper filters size 02. These will give you the typical clarity and clean cup that the V60 is known for.

Doesn't metal get too hot?

Metal conducts heat well. That's exactly why it's worth preheating it briefly—then the brew will be more stable. The silicone base makes it comfortable to handle.

Is size 02 right for me?

Yes, if you usually brew 1–4 cups. Size 02 is also great for single small cups—just adjust the recipe and amount of water.

Is the V60 more fruity or chocolatey?

Both are possible. The V60 is very transparent: light roasts can taste fruity and clear, while darker roasts can taste rounder and more chocolatey – depending on the grind, ratio, and pouring technique.

Conclusion

The Hario V60-02 Steel Dripper in Matte Black is a durable, stylish hand filter for anyone who wants to prepare filter coffee with control and high quality – at home, in the office, or on the go.
