Overview
The Hario VDN-01-B is the NEO version of the V60 pour-over dripper, sized for 1 to 2 cups, molded in Tritan resin with 72 fine spiral ribs and made in Japan.
The NEO update changes the rib geometry from the original V60: the 72 ribs converge to 9 at the base, which speeds up flow and evens out water contact across the grounds compared to the standard dripper. That faster flow means it rewards buyers who already dial in grind size and pour rate, and can feel unfamiliar to anyone used to a slower V60 pour.
- 72 ultra-fine spiral ribs, 9 at the base
- Tritan resin body, no handle design
- 1 to 2 cup capacity
- Made in Japan, silicone rubber holder
Who it's for
Suits pour-over drinkers already comfortable with V60 technique who want a faster, more even extraction in a single dripper. Not for anyone wanting a hands-off auto-brew machine or brewing more than 2 cups at once.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers describe the flow as fast and the extraction as fuller once grind size is dialed in, calling it a genuine upgrade over the standard V60 rib pattern. The main complaint is the silicone base sleeve, which one buyer found hard to remove for cleaning and prone to residue buildup.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fast, even water flow across the grounds
- Compact, no-handle Tritan resin build
- Made in Japan to Hario's usual fit and finish
- Works with standard V60 paper filters
- Needs grind and pour adjustments to dial in
- Silicone base sleeve is awkward to clean
- Sized for 1 to 2 cups, not larger batches
- Faster flow can under-extract if grind is too coarse
Performance notes
Hot water spreads across the 72 spiral ribs and collects toward the 9 ribs consolidated at the base, which keeps flow fast and consistent across the bed of grounds rather than pooling in one spot. Because flow is quicker than a standard V60, buyers generally need a slightly finer grind and adjusted pour rate to avoid under-extracting.
