How we evaluated it
Why we chose it What put it on our list
- The hot path is porcelain and paper. Hario’s page lists the dripper’s material as “Porcelain”, handmade in Japan from Arita-yaki, and the only other things the water touches are the filter and your own kettle.
- The filters are named. Hario’s V60 02 paper filter page says “Chemical Free”, “Made without glue” and FSC certified, material paper pulp, made in Japan. It is sold in white and natural brown, $10.25 for 100.
- Nothing to wear out or descale: no boiler, tubing or seals. The price on Hario’s own store is $30.50 for the white 02.
- Hario also sells the same V60 shape in plastic, from $12 on its store, alongside ceramic, glass and metal versions. This listing is the porcelain one.
Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy
- We found no glaze or lead leach test for this dripper. Hario states Japan as the origin but publishes no report.
- It is breakable, and a good pour needs a kettle with a thin spout.
- Skip Hario’s V60 “Meteor” filters: Hario describes them as paper, abaca and polylactic acid (PLA), a plastic.
- The paper’s bleaching method is not stated. Chemex names its process; Hario says only “chemical free”.
What to know Details worth knowing first
A pour-over dripper is the simplest way to make coffee with almost nothing in the hot path. Hot water from your own kettle runs through a paper filter and a porcelain cone, and that is all. Our coffee page recommends paper-filtered coffee because the filter removes the diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol) that raise LDL cholesterol.
The thing we could not check is the glaze. Our guide to lead in cookware and pottery is mostly about handmade or unmarked ceramics. Hario gives Japan as the origin but publishes no leach test, so this stays a maker’s claim. Buy it from Hario or a retailer you trust, not an unmarked copy.
Use it with a stainless or glass kettle and paper filters you can name. Avoid the plastic versions of the same dripper: our guide to reducing microplastic exposure says heating is what sharply raises particle release from plastic.
Quality & testing How it measures up against our checklist
| What we checked | What we found |
|---|---|
| Inert materials in the hot path Maker’s claim | Porcelain dripper, stated by Hario as “Porcelain”, Arita-yaki, made in Japan. Hot water also touches the paper filter and your kettle. |
| Lead-free brass Maker’s claim | Not applicable: the dripper has no metal parts. |
| No non-stick coatings Not verified | No coating is described. The dripper is glazed, and the glaze is not described or tested in anything we found. |
| Filters you can name Maker’s claim | Hario V60 02 paper filters: paper pulp, FSC certified, “Chemical Free”, made without glue, made in Japan. The bleaching method is not stated. |
| Built to last Not verified | Nothing mechanical to repair or descale. Hario’s page gives no warranty or care instructions. |
| Recalls Verified | No recall naming Hario coffee equipment in the US Consumer Product Safety Commission recall database (title search, 2026-10-22). |
What the labels mean
- Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
- Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
- Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.

Where to buy Other stores and the prices we saw
- Amazon approx. $27. Sold by UJC Mart Japan, a third-party seller, not by Hario. Ships from Amazon.
Prices as we saw them on October 22, 2026. They change often. These links carry no tracking code and earn us nothing.
Alternatives Other options to compare
- Chemex Classic Six Cup Borosilicate glass instead of porcelain, with filter paper whose process the maker names. About $20 more.
- Kalita Wave 185 stainless steel dripper An all-steel dripper at about $42. Kalita says it is made of stainless steel in Japan and dishwasher safe; it takes Kalita Wave 185 paper filters.
- Frieling stainless steel French press No filter to buy and no plastic, but unfiltered coffee keeps the diterpenes that paper removes. About $115 and up.
