I'm a minimalist. All I need to brew coffee is a wire-frame dripper, a cone-shaped paper filter, and a swan-necked drip pot.<br /><br />Nakagawa-san does have both plastic and glass V60 drippers, and I'm not sure if he has a ceramic one. I think Nakagawa-san would say he preferred a plastic one because of its pronounced ridges. (Ceramic drippers tend to cause clogging because of their less pronounced ridges, as he confirms with an experient on a ceramic Melitta dripper.)<br /><br />Having checked some reviews on V60 drippers, I think I would get a plastic one for myself, but I think a glass one should be a wonderful present to give to someone.<br /><br />Be sure to seek advice from coffee geeks!<br /><br />And, yes, Hario is a well-established glass manufacturer in Japan.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-59694866468916914792014-07-30T09:03:13.611+09:002014-07-30T09:03:13.611+09:00Hiroyuki,
I do learn more from your site everyday...Hiroyuki,<br /><br />I do learn more from your site everyday on Japanese coffee stuff . Did not really know that there was so much to comprehend ... Good work !<br />I have a quick question. I am planning to get a hario drip brewer v60 for my brother as a gift for his birthday, as its in his wish list and he loves his coffee ..I see there are 3 versions available ...glass, plastic and ceramic and even steel...here in the States lot of people go for ceramic for the classy version though its expensive ..But I hear that the best ones were plastic( more pronounced spiral ridges than ceramic) ...and are cheap...But I am planning to go for the most expensive one in glass as it has the most heat retension of all and pronounced ridges as in plastic best of both world's I guess...After all hario is a glass company correct ? ..Whats your take ? ..I read in one of your articles Nakagawa-san tested a glass version of hario ...but I am not sure.Tom haggertynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-59476498584680435562014-07-23T07:55:05.330+09:002014-07-23T07:55:05.330+09:00Thanks for the clarification Sir ! ..Much apprecia...Thanks for the clarification Sir ! ..Much appreciated ! .

Has Nakagawa-san ever discussed this as it looks very similar to a matsuya dripper ? I was just wondering if the concentric circles contribute anything to taste as Matsuya has only 2 circles ...the one at top and bottom . I was just curious to know if this geometry was indeed superior to that of Matsuya in aiding a better extraction ? . Appreciate your time !<br /><br />http://www.0141coffee.com/dorip/caffeebanet.htmlTom haggertynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-16818647662748880572013-09-02T20:17:23.193+09:002013-09-02T20:17:23.193+09:00Dan: No matter what he may say, Nakagawa-san alway...Dan: No matter what he may say, Nakagawa-san always thinks that the Matsuya dripper is the best.<br /><br />In terms of durability, the Matsuya dripper is perfect because it's made of stainless steel and will last forever. In contrast, you have to keep on buying Kono drippers one after another!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-31491914917695073492013-09-02T15:57:00.554+09:002013-09-02T15:57:00.554+09:00Thanks Hiroyuki ...for shedding some light on vari...Thanks Hiroyuki ...for shedding some light on various drippers in the market ...Very useful stuff indeed !Dannoreply@blogger.com
