Hario V60 Drip-Assist Size 02, Clear | Even-Flow Pour-Over Coffee Accessory

Overview

The Hario V60 Drip-Assist in Clear is a lightweight top attachment designed for any Size 02 V60 dripper. Its transparent build makes it easy to monitor water flow as you brew, helping you test and tune your pour without guessing. This accessory emphasizes ease of use and precision, so your morning ritual can feel simple yet deliberate.

How it works

Attach the Drip-Assist to the rim of your 02 V60 dripper and you’re ready to go. The design features multiple small holes that guide water steadily, so you can achieve a consistent pour angle even if you’re not using a specialized kettle. The Even-flow configuration directs liquid toward the center of the filter, which helps you avoid messy overpour and channelling during the bloom and extraction phases.

What to expect during a brew: a controlled, center-focused pour that gradually transitions into the outer ring, with water naturally feeding toward the center as it moves through the filter. This can translate to a more balanced saturation and cleaner flavor notes in the cup, depending on grind, coffee, and water temperature.

Key benefits

• Easy to Use: Clips onto any Size 02 V60 dripper and enables a smooth start to your pour with hot water.
• Versatile pour control: The hole pattern promotes even distribution without the need for a specialized gooseneck kettle.
• Mess-free design: Center-focused water flow helps protect against overpour and messy drips.
• Guided pour sequence: Start with a center pour of 50–70 ml, pause about 30 seconds, then pour the remaining water around the outer ring, letting liquid flow toward the center ring.

Real-life use cases

Whether you’re dialing in a new coffee, chasing a clearer cup, or aiming for consistent mornings, the Drip-Assist offers a practical upgrade for Size 02 V60 setups. The clear body not only looks sleek on your setup but also helps you monitor how water interacts with the grounds. Expect a steadier pour that supports even extraction and a cleaner brew body, particularly when you’re slow-warming your kettle or experimenting with bloom times.

Tips for best results

• Use fresh, hot water just off the boil for a lively bloom.
• Grind size and dose will influence how evenly the water saturates the bed; adjust accordingly.
• Experiment with the center-first pour and staggered outer pours to find your preferred balance of body and brightness.
