- Is the Hario V60 worth it over a cheap drip machine?
- Yes, if you want better coffee and will spend a few minutes per cup. The V60 costs $13.98 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, and gives you control a drip machine cannot. A drip machine is faster and more hands-off.
- What size V60 should I buy?
- The 02 size is the safe default: it brews one to four cups and has the widest filter availability. The 01 is smaller and better only if you almost always brew a single cup.
- Do I need a gooseneck kettle?
- Not strictly, but a gooseneck kettle makes a steady pour much easier and is the single biggest upgrade for consistency. A scale helps too.
- What filters does it take?
- It uses Hario V60 paper filters, size 01 or 02 to match the dripper. Bleached or unbleached both work; rinse the filter before brewing to remove paper taste.
- Is the ceramic version better than plastic?
- Ceramic holds heat better and feels more solid, but it is heavier and can chip. Plastic is cheaper and lighter; glass looks best but is the most fragile.
- When is the V60 cheapest?
- It is already near its floor at $13.98 at eBay as of November 5, 2026. Deals tend to appear around Black Friday and during kitchenware sales, but discounts are small because the base price is low.
