How to clean Hario V60 Coffee maker?

Quick answer

Rinse the Hario V60 dripper with hot water right after brewing, throw out the paper filter, then wash it with warm water, a little mild dish soap and a soft sponge, and let it air dry. For stains, a soak in warm water with baking soda is a common tip. Check the care instructions for your material: ceramic, glass, plastic and metal V60s differ.

How do you clean a Hario V60 after each brew?

  1. Remove the paper filter and the used grounds as soon as brewing finishes.
  2. Rinse the dripper under hot running water to wash out oils.
  3. If needed, wash with warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Rinse well so no soap taste remains.
  4. Air dry upside down or wipe with a clean cloth.

A quick rinse each time is usually enough if you wash it fully every few days.

How do you remove coffee stains and oil buildup?

A commonly suggested method is to soak the dripper for about 15 to 30 minutes in warm water with a spoonful of baking soda, then scrub the ribs gently with a soft brush. You can also use a cleaner made for coffee equipment, following its directions. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid bleach and abrasive pads.

Is the Hario V60 dishwasher safe?

Sources disagree. Several retailers list the ceramic V60 dripper and glass server as dishwasher safe, usually on the top rack, while other guides say Hario recommends hand washing, and one manual says the glass V60 is not dishwasher safe. We could not confirm Hario’s own position. Check the care leaflet for your exact model; hand washing is the safe default.

How do you clean the carafe or server?

Use warm soapy water and a bottle brush on glass. Avoid sudden hot-to-cold changes, which can crack glass. Dry fully before storing.

How often should you deep clean?

  • Weekly if you brew daily, or when the dripper looks brown or smells stale.
  • Also clean the gooseneck kettle spout, grinder and scale area when you see residue.

What to avoid

  • Steel wool or scouring powder, which scratch the surface and can hold oils.
  • Strongly scented soap, which can leave a taste.
  • Leaving wet grounds in the dripper, which can grow mold.
