The Hario v60 Ceramic Drip Cone and the Pour Over Method

Everyone is talking about pour over coffee and how it is so much better than drip. And yet, nobody is talking about how you, a real human being, can make this pour over coffee.

I just ordered my Hario v60 ceramic drip cone a couple of days ago and we got it in the mail today.  Of course, being as excited as I was I wasted no time before opening it up and checking it out.  It was as simple as it looked, just one ceramic cone that sits neatly on a coffee mug.

You just add a filter, add freshly ground coffee, and pour boiling water over it.  It really is that simple.

The Process

I really can’t stress the simplicity of the Hario v60 enough, we ordered Hario v60 filters specifically because we didn’t want to try using some other type of filter that didn’t fit right.  These were inexpensive, and certainly proved to be worthwhile since they fit themselves inside the ceramic cone so snugly.

Our first attempt, a dry run per se, with the Hario v60 happened within about ten minutes of us discovering the box on our front stoop.

Here at Project Vvlgar we get very excited about new coffee gadgets that we can play with and just couldn’t help but jump on top of it immediately.

I boiled the water, ground up the freshly roasted whole beans and prepared my first attempt expecting that at least in some way I would mess it up – I mean, this was my first time ever using the Hario v60, I had heard it took some practice, and I was perfectly ready to ‘practice’ as much as I needed.

Guess what happened?

We made a perfect cup of coffee our very first try.  We poured the boiling water in, stirred it a few times as it seeped through, and voila!

Within four minutes we had made the best cup of coffee ever.  The Hario v60 is not only inexpensive but it is simple in product as well as method.  No kitchen is complete without one.
