HARIO adds Amber and Transparent finishes to V60 Dripper NEO
HARIO is turning the V60 Dripper NEO into a display piece too, with Amber and Transparent finishes debuting June 25 at World of Coffee Brussels.
Amber and Transparent are giving HARIO’s V60 Dripper NEO something pour-over gear rarely gets: shelf appeal. The two new finishes will launch globally on June 25, 2026, and make their first public appearance at World of Coffee Brussels 2026, where HARIO will show them at Booth #11356.
The move is more than a color refresh. HARIO is framing the update as part of its “functional beauty” approach, keeping the brewing character of the NEO intact while widening the visual options for cafés, home brewers, and gift buyers who treat a dripper as both equipment and object. For a category where gear often doubles as counter decor, that matters. A familiar brewer in a new finish can feel fresh on a café bar, look cleaner in a home setup, and carry more weight as a present or collectible.
The V60 Dripper NEO itself arrived in 2025 as a refined take on HARIO’s classic cone dripper. HARIO says the redesign uses a reworked internal structure for a faster, cleaner, more balanced cup, with precision ribs that improve water distribution and flow while helping reduce bitterness and lift sweetness and clarity. The lightweight Tritan body and thinner build are meant to reduce heat loss during brewing, and HARIO lists the brewer in 1-2 cup and 1-4 cup versions.
HARIO’s Japanese product page adds a technical detail that underscores how seriously the company treats the brew path: the NEO uses 72 delicate ribs that converge to 9 at the base, a structure HARIO says is registered as a utility model. The company also says the dripper won both the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 and the Red Dot Design Award 2026, giving the NEO a rare mix of design credibility and specialty-coffee utility.
That mix fits HARIO’s broader identity. The company says it was founded in 1921 as a heatproof-glass maker, and its V60 line has long been defined by the conical shape and single large hole that let users vary pour speed for different flavor outcomes. On that platform, Amber and Transparent are not just new looks. They are the latest proof that the V60 still has room to evolve as both a brewing tool and a piece of coffee culture, especially when it lands on a global stage in Brussels.
