The Hario V60 is the gateway drug for specialty coffee. At twenty-five dollars, the ceramic version retains heat well and produces a sweet, articulate cup that showcases single-origin beans. The spiral ribs and 60-degree cone allow variable flow rates, which means you can tune the brew by adjusting your pour pattern. Learn the V60 and you will understand extraction in a way no automatic machine can teach you.
