The designer of the V60, brings together chemistry, glass products and coffee.
In fact if you read about the Chemex, you might notice that it was invented by a chemist. Hario, a company founded in Tokyo in 1921, began with the production and sale of special glass products for chemistry and physics.
After almost 30 years of research, they created Hario Glass, which contains 100% natural minerals to make heat-resistant glass environmentally friendly.
And then, in 1949 Hario launched their first homemade product: a glass filter siphon for making coffee. By 1957, it had become a cloth filter siphon.
Hario has received hundreds of design awards. Although the V60 was launched ten years ago, this has been his most famous invention. The name comes from vector 60, the 60-degree angle of its cone. This method was first made of ceramic and glass, then plastic, and finally metal.
