V60 "Mugen" Plastic Coffee Dripper, Size 02, Clear Black

Easy to use, regular filters fit it perfectly, makes great coffee

I've been using this every morning for the past 15 months. I use it alongside my regular v60 to make 2 cups. I prefer this version over the old design - the coffee drips a little slower, I can taste the extra extraction. I also prefer the design of the base, it fits better over larger mugs. No cracks or other issues from long term use. Between all my coffee brewers -- V60, V60 Mugen, Hario Switch, Kalita Wave, Chemex, AeroPress, Phin -- This V60 Mugen is my favorite.

I love using the Hario V60 Magen. This is my second one. Be careful though when handling. I broke my first one and purchased this second one to replace it. Worth the price.

I like the Muga. But I’m into low or no bypass brewing. ( I use Sibarist Fsat filters with it.) It fit right into my Hario Switch. Further it works very well. I do pour a bit more preheat/ rinse water in before brewing. But I’m a big believer in non plastic brewers. The ceramic Muga does very well especially with iced coffees I’d buy one again. I also am comfortable recommending it to others.

I'm really enjoying having this option for my pour over coffee. I've been using the standard Hario V60 for many years now, and it's great for making my normal 20 oz daily cups. However, sometimes if I'm having coffee later in the day...or if I only have time enough for one cup...then this new Hario option is awesome, and the stronger brew it makes tastes great. Following the instructions, you will make an 8 oz cup that is stronger than the standard 16:1 water-to-coffee ratio. By my calculations, I'm ending up with around 9:1 water-to-coffee ratio. I know I could adjust to get a different result, but I kinda like the stronger result...especially if I'm only going to have 1 cup. I got the plastic version, and it snaps apart for cleaning.

I love Hario and this one is good. I used Switch V60 but sometime I used this because of time.

Very good pour over device. Virtually zero water bypass.

Nothing more simple than a Mugen. It works. I don't worry that it will break, and if it did I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another or a similar size 02 V60 in plastic. They are great.

Makes a nice cup of coffee

Ich benutze schon länger die standard V60 von Hario, nun habe ich mich entschieden mal diese "Mugen" Variante auszuprobieren. Bei gleichem Mahlgrad fließt das Wasser hier langsamer durch, was zu einem vollerem Geschmack führt. Das meine ich erstmal völlig neutral, da manche Leute einen feineren Geschmack bevorzugen, aber mir Gefällt das Resultat besser als bei der standard Variante. Qualität ist gut, die Halterung sitzt aber sehr straff. Ich finde aber, dass der Mugen durch diese Halterung flexibler einsetzbar ist als die standard V60. Egal ob Thermoflasche,-Becher oder eine direkt in eine Tasse, klappt alles wunderbar, vorher war es zum Teil etwas wackelig. Knapp 15 Euro finde ich ein bisschen zu viel für so ein simples Kunststoffteil, das muss aber jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Letztendlich war es mir das Geld dann doch wert und ich habe es nicht bereut. Als nächstes kommt dann evtl. die Hario Switch.

Cool item. Works, easy to clean. Light etc

Este tipo de “pour over method” hace un café extraordinario …

I bought this to use with a Hario Switch base. Note the Hario switch base is not part of this - that is a separate device and purchase. Having done that, the combo has become my daily coffee making favourite. It produces a great cup with little fuss or cost. Because of the design - no ridges - this is a little different to the V60. In principle this would let less water escape down the sides of the filter - less "bypass" and therefore more efficient brewing. Whether that's accurate or not I don't know, but when matched with the switch base to allow control of immersion Vs percolation, it gives a nice way of adjusting brew balance between sharp and acidic percolation and the more deep and smooth immersion brew. With mugen and the switch base it allows us to blend both of these styles in a single process and cup. But even without worrying about the above, this brewer seems to make a drinkable cup from almost any bean and grinder choice. As usual from Hario it is well made for a plastic device and of course inexpensive. As it happens that's one thing I'd like to see - a metal version so it's easier to pack in travel luggage with risk of breaking.
