V60

The V60 remains one of the most respected brewing devices in specialty coffee — prized for its clarity, versatility, and precision.

Originally developed in Japan by Hario, the V60 takes its name from its cone-shaped 60-degree design. Available in sizes 01, 02, and 03, it comes in materials including ceramic, glass, copper, and plastic — each affecting heat retention and extraction slightly differently. At Bunni, we generally prefer plastic for its temperature stability and durability.

What makes the V60 special is control.

Unlike brewing methods with more fixed characteristics, such as the French Press or Moka Pot, the V60 allows you to shape the cup exactly how you want it. Grind size, brew time, water temperature, agitation, and coffee-to-water ratio all noticeably influence the final result. With the right recipe, you can highlight sweetness, soften bitterness, adjust body, or bring forward acidity with remarkable precision.

That flexibility is why the V60 remains our preferred choice for filter coffee at the roastery. It works beautifully across a wide range of coffees and roast profiles, allowing each coffee’s character to come through clearly.

At the same time, the V60 rewards precision. A scale and timer quickly become essential, helping you brew consistently and understand how small changes affect the cup. Without that control, results can vary dramatically from brew to brew.

For many people, though, that is exactly the appeal.

Brewing with a V60 feels intentional — slower, more hands-on, and deeply satisfying. Like cooking, the process itself becomes part of the experience. After years of brewing with the AeroPress, the V60 became my brewer of choice because of the freedom it offers to keep exploring, refining, and improving every cup.
