Ceramic v60 vs plastic.
Copper vs ceramic v60.
I recently wrote about the issue of the hario v60 copper vs.
The ultimate edition of the hario v60 is the copper coffee dripper.
The v60 was first introduced in ceramic and glass then plastic and finally in metal.
I also purchased a manual java presse coffee grinder which shipped with the hario.
It was designed for high thermal conductivity which due to better heat retention leads to a better extraction.
At less than 25 this is a fraction of the cost of most other home brewers.
Glass models however are available for both drippers hario v60 vs kalita wave.
The material doesn t really matter and many elite baristas prefer the plastic model.
The ceramic will retain heat and can be pre warmed creating a stable temperature.
While the ceramic drippers exude quality they are more certainly more fragile and can absorb slightly more heat from the slurry as compared to plastic.
The main difference between the ceramic and plastic v60 is heat retention.
The v60 can be had from 7 20 depending on which material brewer you choose more on that below.
The v60 has a sleek design that is convenient and it is easy to store.
It all comes down to heat transfer and thermal equilibrium.
That question can only be answered by turning to the world of hi def brew videos.

Plastic ceramic and glass not so much.
So which one is better.

Copper is good at transferring heat that it s used in heatsinks for computers.
However if you like something more premium then consider copper or ceramic.
Available in three sizes 01 02 and 03 multiple colours and many different materials plastic ceramic glass metal copper.
Sure the stainless steel model looks a little chintzy but it has better heat retention than the ceramic v60.
Depending on who you are this may not make a huge difference but i prefer the ceramic as i feel the plastic sucks some heat out of the water coffee.
