Hario's V60 Gets Its First Real Upgrade in 20 Years for $23 - Yanko Design
"The original V60's spiral ribs are the reason it works the way it does. They create space between the paper filter and the cone wall, allowing air to escape as water flows through. The result is a controlled extraction, but one that demands attention. Get your grind wrong, pour too fast, let your focus wander, and the brew either stalls or races past the point of no return. The V60 has always been a beautiful, slightly unforgiving thing."
"Instead of a single spiral rib pattern, it introduces 72 ultra-fine vertical ribs along the upper walls of the cone, which then converge into 9 deeper ribs near the base. This dual-zone design guides water evenly down the entire wall before accelerating it through the outlet. The effect is a faster, more uniform extraction that minimizes bitterness from water lingering too long in contact with the grounds. The cup you get out the other end is cleaner, sweeter, and more vibrant, with a balanced acidity that doesn't tip into sourness."
"The original Hario V60 is the kind of object that earns its own mythology. Released in 2004, it became the face of the third-wave coffee movement: a simple cone of heat-resistant glass (or ceramic, or plastic, depending on how serious you are) that turned the morning cup into a ritual of patience and precision. Baristas loved it. Coffee nerds obsessed over it."
The V60 Dripper NEO builds on the 2004 V60’s reputation as a ritual-focused pour-over tool. The original spiral ribs create airflow space between the filter and cone wall, enabling controlled extraction but requiring careful grind choice, pouring speed, and attention to avoid stalling or over-extraction. The NEO replaces the single spiral rib pattern with 72 ultra-fine vertical ribs near the upper cone that converge into 9 deeper ribs near the base. This dual-zone structure guides water evenly down the walls and then accelerates it through the outlet. The result is faster, more uniform extraction that reduces bitterness from prolonged contact, producing cleaner, sweeter, more vibrant coffee with balanced acidity.
