Hario V60 Drip-Assist Set 02 Clear

The Hario V60 Drip-Assist Set (Size 02) is a compact pour-over kit built to simplify and stabilise the most delicate part of brewing: where and how the water reaches the coffee bed. The set bundles a clear plastic V60 size-02 dripper, the V60 Drip-Assist dispersion disc, and a 40-pack of size-02 tabbed paper filters — everything you need to start brewing more consistent 1–4 cup pours. This makes it a quick, low-friction upgrade for anyone chasing better repeatability with minimal extra kit.

At the heart of the set is the Drip-Assist disc: a shallow plastic insert with two concentric rings of holes engineered to control both dispersion pattern and flow rate. The outer ring contains smaller holes for a gentle, even shower across the coffee bed while the inner ring uses larger holes for faster flow and targeted agitation. That dual-ring approach lets you approximate advanced pouring techniques even with a wider-spout kettle or less-steady hand, translating into fewer missed pours, more predictable extraction curves and an easier path to dialling recipes.

Materials and form are purposefully pragmatic: the Drip-Assist body is made from PCT resin and the included V60 dripper is a resilient acrylonitrile-styrene resin — durable, lightweight and easy to care for. The set measures roughly W137 × D117 × H140 mm and is sized for 1–4 cup pours, making it compact enough for small home benches while still handling small batch service. It’s designed and manufactured in Japan to Hario’s usual build standards. These physical specs make the set easy to store, simple to clean and reliable for everyday use.

Who benefits most? Baristas and trainers will appreciate how the Drip-Assist helps teach and replicate pouring patterns during training sessions or high-volume demos; it acts like a “guide” that reduces variability between brewers. At the same time, home brewers gain practical help when they don’t have a gooseneck kettle or when they want a straightforward, teachable method to hit consistent yields. The included pack of 40 tabbed filters and the ability to nest the Drip-Assist inside standard size-02 filters make it an immediately usable tool for both experimentation and daily routine.

Cleaning and care are straightforward: the plastic dripper and Drip-Assist wipe clean and can be rinsed under running water; the paper filters are disposable for easy post-brew tidy up. Because the disc sits inside the paper filter, you don’t need extra accessories to use it — just set it in the dripper, add your filter and ground coffee, and pour. For brewers looking to refine recipes, the Drip-Assist makes it easier to compare changes to grind size, water temperature or pour cadence because the water distribution step is more consistent between attempts.
