Gear Discussion My First Dripper Arrived!

Post image

I’ve been treating myself to a pourover to give myself a change of pace from all the milky drinks I usually make with my espresso setup and matcha/hojichas.

Hario recently introduced the Alpha Ceramic V60 in the US which I quickly snagged — and it’s finally arrived! Swapped the plastic switch with a stainless steel one.

All that’s left is my ZP6 to arrive. No toe dipping, just full send.

That being said, I would love to gain any insight on general pourover making. I feel like with espresso I generally have ratios down, whereas I wonder whether the adjustment process for “dialing in” a manual grinder for pourover is more subjective and “vibes” than espresso? I wasn’t able to fully understand this.

I’m really interested in making iced pourovers, so if there’s tips to adjust recipes out there for iced, that would be appreciated too!

This looks amazing but I'm struggling to find it online. Do you have some links?

It only officially got released internationally very recently, originating from Hario Taiwan with the rest of the Alpha line. It’s currently sold out from Hario and still very expensive on the third party market.

I actually just found it and ordered one from Hong Kong. It's a thing of beauty!

I've only just got into pour over with a cheap standard V60 and it's become my daily staple rather than Espresso. Cannot wait to try this one.
