B+Best for Visual Learning

Borosilicate glass, 02 size (1-4 cups), transparent. $25-40. Best for visual learners โ€” watch bloom and extraction. Less heat retention than ceramic. Most fragile. Pre-heat before use.

The V60 02 Glass uses borosilicate glass โ€” fully transparent so you can watch the bloom expand and observe water distribution through the coffee bed in real time. This visual feedback is uniquely useful for diagnosing extraction issues and learning pour technique. Glass retains less heat than ceramic, so pre-heating is essential. Most fragile of the four materials.

Pros

  • Transparent โ€” watch bloom and water distribution in real time
  • Useful for diagnosing extraction problems visually
  • Heat-resistant borosilicate construction

Cons

  • Most fragile โ€” highest breakage risk
  • Poorest heat retention in this comparison
