HARIO V60 RED 02

The spiral ridges really do keep the paper filter from sticking—no more collapsed cones mid-brew. It's lightweight enough that I can hold it one-handed over my mug while pouring, and clean-up is just a quick rinse. For the price, this is genuinely all you need to start making better coffee at home.

Finally upgraded from a French press and the plastic body is light enough to grip comfortably while pouring. The 02 size handles my usual two cups without overflow, and cleanup is just a quick rinse under the tap.

The spiral ridges inside the cone really do keep the paper filter from sticking, which makes the whole pour feel smoother than my old dripper. For the price, this plastic version is tough to beat as a daily driver that just works.
