Hario V60 Glass Coffee Server, 450ml, Black

First and foremost, let me state that I am biased in favor of the Hario brand, and I was excited to finally have the matching decanter for their V60 glass cone filter. I've been using the Hario V60 for years, and it outperforms every other manual or automatic coffee method or device I've tried (which is a lot, as a coffee nerd and former barista). I had high hopes for this because the V60 makes better coffee than any auto, Chemex, French press, aeropress, clever, melita (or any other manual drip) and is made of extremely sturdy and thick glass. br>br>However, I've now had two, both of which were broken in less than a week. When cleaning with a sponge, the first one broke - I guess I used a little too much force and chalked it up to that. The second one broke after only a few uses for no apparent reason. I'm guessing I slammed it down too hard on the counter, but by "too hard," I mean "regular coffee pot placement on a counter. " " I've never had a coffee pot break in 15 years, let alone break this easily or quickly. br>br>In the end, I'll replace the Yama coffee pot/decanter that arrived in a vacuum-sealed bag. They make a pot coffee maker kit. It costs around $35 in this country, but it's of far better quality, with much thicker glass. It's what I'd been using for the previous 5 years or so. It took a lot of abuse before my cat decided it didn't belong on the counter and broke it. I took advantage of the opportunity to finally get this Hario to use with the V60, but it wasn't worth it in the end. I've now spent the same amount as if I had just replaced the Yama, and I've only had it for two weeks.

Because this server was so easily cracked, I changed my rating from 5 stars to 2. I hadn't used it for more than ten times when the pitcher's lip accidentally tapped my coffee mug. Despite the fact that it was a very light tap, the pitcher's glass lip immediately cracked. This was a huge disappointment. Hario's products have always been a favorite of mine: Since 2009, I've been brewing with the V60, and since 2011, I've been using the lovely Buono kettle. I also have a low-cost Whistling Glass kettle that I use every day to boil water - It's made entirely of glass, and I've owned it since 2012. That, for some reason, has lasted longer than the Hario kettle.

The design and quality are both excellent. It pours very neatly and doesn't drip from the spout after it's finished; It has a smooth appearance and a pleasant hand feel when in use. It also has measurements on the glass. br>br>This is the closest glass carafe replacement for my Bonavita 8-cup carafe in terms of size, capacity, and quality. Cup One- Touch. The original carafe broke, and Bonavita's replacement carafe has been on backorder for several months. The maximum capacity of this carafe is 32 ounces. The original Bonavita does not sit perfectly over the warming plate (I managed to raise the warming plate using copper pennies covered top and bottom by two small sheets of aluminum foil, so the carafe is nicely seated using copper pennies covered top and bottom by two small sheets of aluminum foil).

I had a smaller Hario coffee server that chipped on the top after about three uses, so I decided to upgrade to this one. I got it today and used it once before breaking it when my ceramic dripper tapped it while I was washing it. I'm not sure if the glass is so fragile that anything solid touching it will shatter it, but I have other regular glass products that are far more dependable. br>Another point is that the shipping label was included in the box when I received it. As a result, it came without any padding or additional packaging to secure it or indicate that it was a fragile item.

I was hand-washing my ceramic V60 dripper when it brushed up against the top of this carafe, breaking off a large chunk. br>br>I understand that glass can break, but this one broke so easily that I doubt it will last very long. My old Hario carafe had been knocked around a lot and had been in my possession for almost two years when the lid finally cracked. br>br> I really want to like this, but it needs to be a little more long-lasting.

I believe all of the brewers' bases are the same size; in any case, it fits perfectly, as does my steel Kalita Wave 185 dripper! br>br>At first, I ignored the glass servers, assuming that they wouldn't do anything to keep the coffee warm for long (which they don't), and that I could just pour the coffee myself. Into a cup, straight over. However, a typical coffee cup holds about 10 fluid ounces. 295ml or 295ml, pour I couldn't do the 350-foot run because my body wasn't cooperating with me. Because I typically brew 450ml at a time, the 1 Hario server is the ideal size for me - I simply brew in the server and pour into a cup a little at a time; the glass was also thicker and more durable than I had anticipated. Finally, the server has markings per 100ml, which allows you to measure your pours in a different way. If you don't want to use a scale, just go ahead and do it.

The Hario dripper and a cheap woodneck hack cost a few dollars less than the woodneck setup. More importantly, it is a low-cost substitute for the Woodneck carafe, which is unavailable for purchase. br>br>While the cloth filter does not fit as well on this carafe as the woodneck, I doubt the coffee will taste any different.

It has withstood three accidental drops. Onto the hardwood, 5 ft. Collisions with ceramic mugs, as well as pour-overs over dripping faucets br>br>I've taken the coffee out of the fridge and poured it into a cup that is nearly boiling hot. I've even frozen it after filling it with near-boiling hot coffee! It's great for pour over, Japanese-style iced/cold brew, and overnight cold brew, and it's TOUGH! The cap snaps in and out tightly, allowing for a precise pour. br>br> Although the handle appears to be made of cheap plastic, it is durable. Even at extreme temperatures, there is no wiggle or play. My only complaint is that it's a little small for the amount of coffee I've been making recently. But it's not a big deal; I just transfer a full container to another vessel and keep brewing in this little champion.
