Hario Drip Pot

Hario Drip Pot is a traditional Japanese set for brewing filter coffee that combines simplicity, elegance, and an eco-friendly approach. Instead of disposable paper filters, it uses a reusable cloth filter, making it environmentally friendly and giving the coffee a distinctive taste with a fuller body.

The set consists of a heat-resistant glass carafe and a cloth filter fixed in a holder. The carafe has an ergonomic handle and a practical spout for comfortable pouring. The cloth filter is made of natural cotton, which allows oils and fine coffee particles to pass through, giving the drink a richer texture and more intense aroma compared to paper filters.

Preparation is very simple:

1. Soak the cloth filter in hot water to clean and preheat it.

2. Add freshly ground coffee.

3. Pour hot water evenly – just like in the pour-over method.

4. Let the coffee drip directly into the glass carafe.

The result is a cup of coffee with a fuller body, slightly creamy texture, and enhanced sweetness. Coffee brewed with a cloth filter is very close to the “cloth drip” style, which has been popular in Japan for decades.

Hario Drip Pot has a capacity of about 240 ml or 480 ml (depending on the version), making it suitable for brewing one to two servings at a time. Its compact size makes it practical for daily use without taking up much space in the kitchen.

The cloth filter is reusable but requires regular maintenance – after each use, it should be thoroughly rinsed and stored in water in the refrigerator to maintain its functionality and cleanliness. With proper care, it will last for dozens of brews.

Hario Drip Pot is ideal for those who want to explore another dimension of filter coffee, different from classic V60 paper filters. A great choice for coffee enthusiasts looking for a richer flavor profile and a more sustainable brewing method.
