Hario Woodneck Drip Pot

The cloth filter allows more natural coffee oils and fine particles to pass through into your cup. This results in a noticeably richer, fuller-bodied texture and a more complex flavor profile than you would get with standard paper filters.

After each use, rinse the filter thoroughly with hot water—never use soap. When not in use, store the damp filter in a sealed plastic bag inside your refrigerator to prevent it from drying out, cracking, or developing odors.

Yes, the wooden collar is designed to be removable. This makes it easy to wash the glass carafe thoroughly and ensures the wood stays in good condition by keeping it away from excess water during cleaning.

We recommend a medium-fine grind for this brewer. Because the cloth filter is slightly more restrictive than paper, a medium-fine grind helps ensure you get a balanced extraction without the water passing through too quickly or stalling.

While not strictly mandatory, a gooseneck kettle is highly recommended. It provides the precise flow control needed to saturate the coffee grounds evenly, which is essential for achieving a consistent extraction with this manual brewing method.

With proper care—rinsing after use and storing it in the fridge—a single cloth filter can be used dozens of times. You will know it is time for a replacement when the fabric becomes heavily stained, develops a stale aroma, or begins to tear.
