V60 Drip-Assist, 02 Clear

Great product for those getting into manual drip coffee. I use it with my V60 or my Kalita Wave. Having the two rings with different flow rates makes it fun to experiment. But if you don’t want to think at all get the Gabi Master B. The Hario Drip Assist is awesome though.

Would get 5 if it was glass

Allows you to pour water from an ordinary kettle (so good if you don't have a special swan neck type) into a Hario V60/Switch type brewer without disturbing the coffee ground bed. If that is something you are eager to try as part of your brewing method/recipe, this could avoid the cost of a swan neck kettle. Just place on top and pour into the centre circle which fills up and flows into the outer circle. Both areas drip into the brewer thus spreading out and reducing the flow of water. Cheap and easy to use. Just rinse if it gets coffee on it.

This is very useful for coffees which have a lot of fines as it completely eliminates any agitation of the coffee bed while adding water. Ethiopian coffees can tend to have very long draw down times, and this helps a lot. Very useful addition to your V60 setup.

Must have item for pour over, fantastic result for manual brewing

Works well Coffee is less extracted but can taste good

Ürün tasarımıyla basit bir plastik gibi gözükse de, pour over için inanılmaz güzel sonuçlar vermemi sağlıyor.

It does exactly what it is supposed to do: provide repeatable and consistent low agitation for pour overs. Will this always provide the best coffee possible: no. With a good grinder, an investment in a nice gooseneck kettle, a lot of reading up, watching videos and quite some practice you could make better coffee. The difference isn’t that big though. This can make an excellent and consistent cup when you dial in the grind size well. It only really touches almost boiling hot water, so required cleaning is very minimal. Every once in a while I was it with some soap only because it gives me peace of mind. It doesn’t ever look dirty. Things that this product offers: -The option to use a normal kettle that you probably already own with a very consistent and repeatable process. Pouring the exact same every time with a normal kettle can be a challenge. Even with a gooseneck it takes some practice. -Strongly reduced agitation of the coffee grounds and thereby reduced extraction. You know you are over-extracting when you get strong bitter flavors that take away from the experience. If it becomes too under-extracted and sour or lackluster you can either grind finer, use a higher water temperature or do both. I happily used this product before I bought a gooseneck. I have no regrets about this purchase. I knew it wasn’t worth trying to master a good technique with a normal kettle and found this product easy to use and cost effective. I liked the results too, I almost never had bad coffee. If I didn’t come across a very well priced fellow stagg I would still be using it a lot. Instead I kind of enjoy the challenge of getting every last bit out of a pour over with a gooseneck now. I can pull it out again for travel without a gooseneck when I want to go for a very low agitation for some coffees.

Useful thing to avoid buying a special kettle.
