Details
The V60-02 is the size most people actually want. One large mug. Two smaller cups. A 300–500 ml brew that still fits the cone the cafés trained on.
The 01 is the single-mug specialist. The 02 is the default: enough headroom to share, not so much that a weekday 20 g dose sits in a shallow puddle.
This starter kit is the honest version of that default. The white ceramic V60-02 dripper and two 100-count packs of genuine Hario 02 white paper filters. Two hundred brews. No server in the box. No journal. No mug set. The cone and the paper it was designed around.
Ceramic holds the rinse better than the plastic 02. Preheat it and the slurry stays stable while you pour. Spiral ridges keep the paper off the wall so water can drain instead of stall. The single large hole puts flow in your hand, faster circles for a lighter cup, slower pulses for more body. That is why the V60 became the standard, not because the cone looks good on a shelf.
If you later want a 600–700 ml server, a gooseneck, or a scale, we stock the matching 02 pieces next to this kit. Start here if the drink is one to four cups and you want the brewer sized for that range.
Features That Deliver
Sized for everyday, not just one mug. Hario rates the 02 at 1–4 cups (~300–600 ml). Everyday recipe: 20 g to 320 g for a large mug, or 30 g to 500 g to split. Buy 01 if the batch is always one small mug.
Ceramic that holds the rinse. White V60-02 ceramic (HARIO_V60_02CR) takes heat from the rinse and gives it back to the slurry. Plastic is lighter. Ceramic is the counter dripper.
Spiral ridges and a single large hole. Deep bed, paper off the wall, flow in your pour. Faster = lighter. Slower = more body.
200 genuine V60-02 filters. Two 100ct packs (HARIO_FILTER_W). 02 paper only — 01 filters bypass in this cone. FSC-certified, oxygen-bleached, glue-free. Rinse once, then brew for months.
A starter that does not lie about the box. Kettle, mug or 02 server, and coffee are still required. Scale recommended.
Who It’s For
Buy this if you brew a large mug or sometimes split a small carafe, want ceramic not travel plastic, and want the size most V60 recipes assume.
Look elsewhere if you only ever brew one 8 oz mug (that’s the 01), you want server + scoop in one gift box, or you need unbreakable plastic for a bag.
02 vs 01 vs Wave 185
Same geometry, different job. 01 = 12–20 g / 1–2 cups. 02 = 18–40 g / 1–4 cups. Filters do not swap.
Plastic 02 wins on price and not chipping. Ceramic 02 wins after the rinse.
Wave 185 is the forgiving flat-bottom. Chemex is a different paper and a different drink. Stay on this kit if you want café-style V60 control and paper you can reorder forever.
Key takeaway: 01 is the single-mug play. Plastic 02 is travel. Wave 185 is forgiveness. This kit is ceramic V60-02 + 200 official 02 filters.

About the Brand
If you're after an eco-conscious coffee brand, Hario is a standout. Founded in Tokyo in 1921, Hario began by crafting heatproof glass for medical and lab use. Through years of innovation, they developed eco-friendly glass made from 100% natural materials—and proved it could be melted using electricity instead of oil, leading the way in cleaner, smoke-free glassmaking. Hario, meaning "King of Glass," expanded into household goods in 1948. Today, they offer a wide range of thoughtfully designed coffee gear, including drippers, kettles, grinders, scales, filters, and more.
