A New Chapter for V60

When the HARIO V60 was first introduced in 2005, it challenged the brewing norms of its time. Designed as a fast-flow dripper, it stood in contrast to the immersion-style brewers that dominated the market. At the time, its clean, quick-draining profile was sometimes misunderstood as being “too light.”

However, as specialty coffee evolved, so did the appreciation for clarity, precision, and controlled extraction, and the V60 became a global icon.

Now, 20 years later, we return to that founding principle with a new perspective. Today’s coffee landscape is defined by complex flavor profiles, experimental processing methods, and lighter, more delicate roast levels. These coffees demand greater control and consistency than ever before.

Which is why we developed the NEO.

Our Two-Year
Journey with Over
60
Prototypes

From initial concept to final production, the development of the NEO spanned nearly two years. Even after defining our core direction, we developed and tested more than 60 prototypes, refining every detail to achieve the performance and design we envisioned.

The color was also designed intentionally. At first glance, it appears as a flat black, but upon closer inspection, a deep hue with subtle green undertones emerges, evoking a sophisticated and deliberate design.

With the NEO, we set out to challenge conventional brewing approaches and redefine V60 brewing for the next generation.

Designed for Speed and Clarity

At the core of the NEO is a complete redesign of the rib structure; the physical architecture that controls the flow of water. Inspired by the HARIO SUIREN Dripper and its demonstration of how rib-to-paper contact directly affects drawdown speed, we pushed this concept further than ever before.

After many prototypes, we arrived at a precise geometry. 72 ribs line the inner wall of the dripper, seamlessly converging into 9 outlet ribs at the base. This structure maximizes drainage while ensuring even water distribution across the coffee bed, minimizing the risk of both under- and over-extraction.

The result is a flow rate that is faster than a standard V60, without sacrificing depth or concentration in the cup.

Improved Thermal
Stability

To enhance thermal performance, we reconsidered the dripper’s overall structure. Removing the V60's handle has created a more uniform thickness of the dripper, allowing heat to distribute more evenly and enhancing overall thermal stability. Furthermore, the NEO is crafted from Tritan™, a highly durable, heat-resistant resin known for its ability to form ultra-thin yet strong walls. This material improves heat retention while keeping the dripper lightweight and resilient for daily use.

Optimized for Consistency

Consistency begins with precision. We paid close attention to how the paper filter adheres to the ribs, knowing that even subtle differences in the wall’s angle can influence drawdown speed and extraction balance. Every detail was refined to within tenths of a degree. For example, the Size 01 NEO features a 0.4° wider angle than the 02, optimizing rib contact and flow dynamics for each format.

iF Design Award

The NEO has been awarded the iF Design Award 2026, one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions. Recognized for its thoughtful product design, NEO stood out among more than 10,000 submissions from 68 countries. Established in 1954, the iF Design Award recognizes designs that excel across five key criteria: Idea, Form, Function, Differentiation, and Sustainability.
