Works and tastes

The pot is made of glass, but should not be kept warm in the warmer, etc. The filter holder is made of transparent plastic and makes a perfectly stable impression. The result tastes very good.

Unlike the traditional hand filter "Oma", the Hario to a higher pitch. In addition, the filter is not kinked flat bottom like Melitta, but is tapered. The Hario filter holder also has curved grooves outside that will ensure an optimal flow of water at the pour.

In addition, the coffee should be poured in a special way. Not like before "druff and by and wech". First, the (best freshly ground) powder is moistened so that it can swell.
After about 30 seconds the water is poured through controlled circular motion and it will continue to cast in accordance with the water level in the filter, the entire processing time and the desired final amount.

Sounds complicated, but it is not at all to happiness and all the steps follow a traceable benefits. There are several video Zubreitungsanleitungen to find on the Internet.

The result tastes very good with proper preparation.

I also once performed all preparation steps with my filters porcelain Melitta filter holder and standard Melitta and have received a similarly good result. However, the water is flowing through the smaller outlet in which Melitta filter holder more slowly. This must be taken into account accordingly when freeness (or drill ;-)). So the curved grooves and the steeper angle of Hario filter seem to have only limited influence on the result.

Conclusion:
The Hario V60 Pourover set makes an impression of quality and the results taste very good. However, a star I pull off, because I follow-up costs for the filter quite high find (about four times as expensive as standard Melitta).
