Did anyone buy both the ceramic and glass to do a taste comparison? Also, anyone use a Hario grinder combination with this dripper? Thanks.

Yes. I bought a ceramic coffee dripper, but it is not the Hario brand. I use a KitchenAid grinder for grinding organic coffee beans because the grinder is so easy to take apart and clean. I did not not notice any difference in the taste of the coffee between the Hario glass dripper and the ceramic dripper.

My older brother got the ceramic version and when I asked him which one I should get, he told me to get the glass one because it's easier to clean.In terms of taste there is no big difference. I suppose it's a preference issue. As for the grinder, my brother once again told me to get the porlex grinder instead of the hario. He had both and he told me that hario one felt not as sturdy. I'm using the porlex JP-30 stainless steel and I like it a lot. I hope this helps!

I agree!! I wanna buy one of these but have NO CLUE how to use the thing. I love coffee from my drip maker. I just think they look good and have heard they make better coffee. I'm also wondering if this would suit my coffee drinking habits. I get up, make 4 cups of coffee in my drip maker and drink it over a period of 2 hours. Then in the evening I make 4 more cups and drink it for 2 hours. If you make this coffee on a stove top, does it stay warm after being done for a couple of hours or no? I'm sure the electric ones would but with those you chance them going bad and not working plus I've heard they are harder to clean. Also, do I need paper filters with these? I agree!!

Hi, just a little less time than ceramic. Not much but a little, I like it because it is much better to put on an open flame,and warm up. I don't use electric coffee pots anymore so you should try the Coleman Enamelware Percolator. I bought 2 of them because I like tea to. I cut the tea bags and then drop into the percolator filter. Oh by the way, the aroma in the air is wonderful. It makes me feel like I'm camping. So have fun and taste and smell the difference. It's great. Thanks for your time,,,,Terry

I have the Hario VDC-02W V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper, White. I'm quite certain that the range server would fit any of the Hario V60 products.

Cool thanks! I have decided to order it. Just got it today! Excited to use it. Wondering where to get the filters for the glass attachments. Have to figure that out later. I know they last a while. So that will be figured out later I guess.

Glass carafe for the KGB and stainless for the KB. I have the glass - Best drip style coffee maker I've ever owned. Pair with a cuisinart conical burr grinder for an extremely consistent cup. You can really dial in your preferred flavor with this combo.

Hello BSJAAJK - it's really subjective ie... Size /volume of cup, beans used , grind, etc... Ex: I use 28g ground with a ceramic burr grinder to slightly coarser then sand and that yields aprox. 11 oz of coffee which fills my insulated travel mug.So experiment and see what suits you.Do yourself a favor a buy the Hario V60 Buono kettle and download the Intelligentsia Coffee brewing app too!Good Luck!

Well, that reminds me of eggs and butter. Turns out they weren't as bad as the fix. I bought this cheaper plastic version to see how I liked the process and function. I like it and use it frequently. The price was right, but I will likely upgrade to a more expensive glass or ceramic version. As for your question: "What type of plastic?" I do not recall. I assume that it is made in China like everything else and will probably slowly melt my insides. Hario is a reputable Japanese company and the design is a good one. You can get ceramic or glass versions under $20. Spend the extra money....I wish I had.

Off hand, I would ask, WHY? The gold filter is made to work on its own. The ceramic FILTER HOLDER is meant to be used with the 4 cup paper filters (bleached or unbleached). I've not tried using the gold filter I have inside my ceramic filter holder as it seems redundant. The single problem that I have had with my gold filter is occasional granular leakage when the coffee is ground too small. I can not really see any benefit to placing the gold inside the white ceramic except, perhaps, to save the cost of the paper filters.

The fineness of the grind is critical in this thing. I find that Espresso grind is way too fine. If I get a bag of Verona or Espresso roast beans from Starbucks I have them grind it "fine drip." That seems to work perfectly. I have taken to taking half fine drip and half espresso grind to use up the finely ground coffee. It takes a bit of pressure, but the coffee is fine.

Mine Krups GVX has worked for over a year, produced hundreds of shots, cost me $55. Never once had a jam. The safeties are annoying but I guess you can't grind off your finger by accident. Grind consistency is much better than a whirlybird grinder. The only design flaw is that the coffee beans sometimes stick in the top hopper and you have to give it a little shake or jolt to get them flowing again. usually works.

The black material is a high grade plastic of some kind. It does come in contact with the stainless steel. You can buy a glass Hario dripper, but you will have to use a paper filter. I buy #4 filters from Costco and fold them back from one of the corners to make a cone. It works great.

I checked out Mason Jars at Walmart and local hardware. The Hario Ceramic Canister takes a standard 4 inch Mason Jar mouth. Take your unit to the hardware store and they'll be able to get you up and running again!

I've been using Starbucks bagged Espresso. I have them grind it. I've had mine for about 6 weeks and sometimes it would struggle to push the espresso out or leak water out the side..and considering it was a new machine I was upset. I asked the girl at Starbucks and she told me to try a coarser grind. So instead of the 3 that Starbucks normally grinds it at...I asked them to grind it at a 3 1/2 and I took it home to try it and it was PERFECT! Poured at a decent rate, had good crema, and NO leaking water out the sides ;) <3 Hope that helps!
