Hario V60 Ceramic Dripper 02
One-piece Arita porcelain pour-over cone - the brew path is ceramic and paper only, with no plastic (unlike Hario's popular plastic V60).
The verdict: Plastic-free
The ceramic V60 02 is a single piece of Arita porcelain, including its integrated base - Hario's spec lists the material simply as "Dripper: Porcelain," and the classic model is dishwasher-safe as one piece. Hot water only touches porcelain and the paper filter. Note this is the ceramic version specifically; Hario also sells a clear plastic V60 and some newer "Switch"/set variants that add plastic or silicone parts.
Verification: Manufacturer confirmed

A conical pour-over dripper made from Arita porcelain, hand-finished in Japan. The 60-degree cone, spiral internal ridges, and large single bottom hole let the brewer control flow by pour rate. Ceramic holds heat well, helping keep brew temperature stable. The 02 size brews 1-4 cups and sits on a mug or carafe - it is the dripper only, no carafe included.
Pros
- Ceramic retains heat better than plastic or thin metal drippers
- One-piece body is easy to clean and dishwasher safe
- Inexpensive, ubiquitous, and uses widely available paper filters
Cons
- Porcelain is breakable if dropped
- Heavier and slower to pre-heat than a plastic or metal dripper
- Requires proprietary V60 paper filters (ongoing consumable cost)
Notes
- Sizes: 01 (1-2 cups) and 02 (1-4 cups); many colors
- Sets that bundle a plastic measuring scoop or glass server are sold separately; the plastic scoop does not touch hot coffee
