Hario’s V60 Suiren looks like a flower before the paper filter goes in. Its spiral ribs stand without the usual continuous dripper wall, giving the transparent-black brewer an unusual open shape. That makes it an appealing coffee object to leave on the counter—but the buying decision should include filters, assembly and the kind of brewing routine you enjoy.
Look through the sides
The top and side photographs show the wall-less structure. A size02V60 paper filter supports the coffee grounds while the ribs hold the filter in place. The reference photograph with a server shows the intended brewing arrangement; the glass server, coffee and kettle are not included with this dripper listing.
Hario says the structure can be disassembled for storage. That is useful if you want to pack it away, although a collection of loose parts is not automatically more convenient than a one-piece dripper. Keep the ring, holder and ribs together and assemble them according to the instructions before brewing.
It is still a manual pour-over
The design does not weigh coffee, heat water or choose a pour pattern. If you enjoy changing grind and water delivery, the open format offers something different to explore. If you simply want the fewest steps before breakfast, a familiar single-piece brewer may be the easier choice. We have not measured flavour or flow-rate differences.
The maker lists a size of130by125by108mm and a capacity described as one to four cups. Treat that as a brewer-size description rather than a promise about full-sized mugs: your dose and recipe determine the amount you make.
Match the complete kit
This guide is for the VDSU02TB transparent-black dripper, not a six-rib accessory pack or one of the coloured editions. Budget for compatible02filters if you do not already have them.
Hario lists hot-water and dishwasher-safe use, but excludes the microwave, oven and open flame. Choose it for a distinctive manual coffee ritual and its modular structure, not for a guaranteed improvement over your existing V60. This is research-based guidance, not a hands-on taste comparison.
