Speciality coffee equipment manufacturer HARIO Co., Ltd. has announced the global release of two new colourways for its V60 Dripper NEO.
The new variants will officially launch on 25 June 2026, making their public debut at the World of Coffee Brussels 2026 trade exhibition, scheduled from 25 to 27 June.
The product expansion builds upon the brand's established physical design framework, offering commercial establishments and home brewers additional styling options for its reengineered pour-over system.
Design and Material Specifications
The V60 Dripper NEO represents an evolution of HARIO’s classic cone-shaped dripper. Developed to improve brewing consistency whilst preserving the extraction control of manual pour-over methods, the NEO model features a modified internal structure designed to standardise water flow.
The technical specifications of the dripper system include:
Internal Rib Architecture: A modified rib layout designed to promote uniform water distribution and prevent the coffee bed from clogging during high-volume extractions.
High-Flow Extraction: Formulated to reduce bitterness and highlight sweetness, particularly when processing light-to-medium roast coffees or utilising finer grind profiles.
Tritan Copolymer Construction: Manufactured using lightweight, impact-resistant Tritan plastic to ensure high thermal stability, maintaining consistent brewing temperatures throughout the extraction process.
The fast-flow characteristics of the NEO design are engineered to mitigate the risk of over-extraction, helping baristas achieve clear cup profiles in high-velocity commercial environments.
New Colourways
The summer product expansion introduces two distinct visual options to the NEO lineup, designed to complement modern cafe aesthetics and hospitality interiors:
🔸 Amber – A warm, retro-inspired aesthetic designed to coordinate with natural wood textures and traditional countertop finishes.
💎 Transparent – A clean, minimalist design that showcases the physical flow of coffee and the internal structural form of the dripper during extraction.
The new options allow operators to differentiate house filter coffees visually by utilising contrasting dripper colours on the brew bar.
Trade Debut and Commercial Positioning
HARIO will showcase the new colourways at World of Coffee Brussels, operating from Booth #11356. The event remains a key trade destination for international coffee buyers, roasters, and distributors seeking next-generation brewing technologies.
The transition from traditional ceramic and glass materials toward high-durability polymers like Tritan highlights a broader shift in the commercial cafe sector. By offering lightweight, shatterproof brewing equipment, manufacturers can help operators lower equipment replacement costs and improve workplace safety without sacrificing thermal efficiency.
According to Daigo Hidaka, Chief Designer of NEO and member of the Product Planning Department at HARIO, changing the dripper colour according to the selected coffee bean variety or the visual style of the cafe can enhance the overall service experience.
Following the initial European exhibition, the new Amber and Transparent V60 Dripper NEO models will enter global wholesale and retail distribution channels.
