You can make excellent coffee. Because the transparent one after a while becomes dull and a little rough to the touch, personally I prefer the solid color like this red one. They are made of different materials, with identical thermal properties, so with the same technique you make the same coffee.

As I have written in other Hario products, the standard in pour-over coffee is not random. I bought it so I can make a second pot if we have guests without emptying the first one.

Edit 2024-01-18: I have the red one in size 01 and I just bought it in size 02. If the water is too hot (meaning if you have made cowboy coffee or tea in a pot and you try to pass it through a coffee filter so it doesn't have any sediment), it breaks due to the sudden change in temperature. The red one is made of a different material and it has never happened to it. I don't know if it's because of the material or because it's larger in size and I put more tea inside. I don't deduct stars as this is not its intended use.

You can't say many things. It does what it's intended for without any problems. It washes easily and pairs well with Hario's V60 02 filters.

It does what it's supposed to, even after 4 months. Its color hasn't faded and it cleans with a simple rinse and its soft sponge!
