Overview
Hario's V60 Mugen is a size 02 plastic pour-over dripper built with a smaller bottom hole than the standard V60 to slow drawdown and increase extraction, in a clear black resin finish.
This isn't a replacement for the standard V60 so much as a second option for a different result: several reviewers keep both and reach for the Mugen specifically when they want a stronger, single cup rather than their usual larger pour. The tradeoff is that it's less forgiving of a coarse grind, since the smaller hole restricts flow more than the standard model.
- Size 02, clear black transparent resin
- Smaller bottom hole than standard V60 for slower drawdown
- Removable base for easy cleaning
- Diamond-ridge interior relieves filter surface tension
Who it's for
Pour-over drinkers who already own a standard Hario V60 and want a slower, stronger single-cup option, particularly for smaller 8 oz brews.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long-term users who also own the standard V60 describe the Mugen as a favorite in a wider brewer collection, citing a stronger, more extracted cup from the slower drawdown. One reviewer cautions that getting the grind wrong leads to a thin, underextracted result, since the design is less forgiving than the standard V60.
Strengths and trade-offs

- Slower drawdown produces a stronger, more concentrated cup
- Removable base simplifies cleaning
- Well suited to a single 8 oz cup rather than a full pot
