Quick verdict
The V60 02 is a cone dripper with spiral ribs and one large opening. Hario says this lets you control brewing through your pour speed. That flexibility is the point: flow depends on grind and pouring technique more than with flat-bottom drippers. The porcelain version linked here is made in Japan (Arita-yaki) and brews 1–4 cups. It suits people who want to learn pour-over technique and own, or will buy, a gooseneck kettle.
Buy it if
- You want a pour-over brewer that responds to technique.
- You have a gooseneck kettle, or plan to buy one.
Skip it if
- You want forgiving results with little technique; see the Kalita Wave or Clever Dripper.
- Best for
- Pour-over drinkers who want flow controlled mainly by grind and pouring.
- Main compromise
- Flow depends heavily on pour technique; ceramic holds heat but needs preheating.
- Type
- Cone dripper, spiral ribs, single large opening

Our recommendation
I'd recommend the V60 02 to people who enjoy adjusting their pour-over technique. For a more forgiving routine, a flat-bottom or immersion dripper is easier.
