Hario – Drip Stand Set AYA – black

The Hario Drip Stand Set AYA is a pour over set in which Japanese tradition shows in every detail. It combines a heat-resistant glass dripper, a wooden stand and 40 paper filters. The set is designed to work well and look beautiful on the counter or the bar.

The AYA series comes with two different glass patterns. The Asanoha pattern is based on the traditional hemp leaf motif, made of interlocking hexagons. It symbolises health and safety and brings a subtle Japanese feel to your coffee moment. The Shippō pattern repeats interlocking circles that refer to the seven treasures. The glass and its transparency also bring out the geometric pattern beautifully in the light.

The dripper is made from heat-resistant glass and the stand from natural wood. The glass handles hot water well, so it is fine for daily use. The wooden stand holds the dripper securely over the server while you brew. The whole set is made for brewing 1-4 cups, 300-500 ml. That makes it just as good for a single morning cup as for a coffee break with a small group.

The Hario Drip Stand Set AYA includes 40 VCF-02M filter papers, so you can start brewing right away. The filter papers fit V60 size 02, the most common size for home use. The glass and metal parts are also dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning much easier. The wooden parts are washed by hand, which is normal practice for small decorative parts.

In pour over brewing, the quality of your equipment shows directly in the cup. A glass dripper does not absorb as much heat as a plastic one, so the water stays closer to the target temperature throughout the brew. As a result, extraction is more even and the coffee's aromas come through more clearly. The result in the cup is clean, brightly acidic and aromatic coffee, kept free of sediment by the filter paper.

It is well worth pairing this set with a good coffee grinder, because grind affects the result more than any other variable. An accurate coffee scale also helps you repeat a good result time after time. When your equipment is in order, the quality of the coffee shows in the cup every morning.

The Hario Drip Stand Set AYA suits the coffee-curious home brewer who values both precision and aesthetics. It also makes an excellent gift for someone who wants to start pour over brewing with a stylish set. You can find more about the AYA series on Hario's website.

All in all, this is a set that makes your coffee moment a little more special. Order the Hario Drip Stand Set AYA here and bring some Japanese calm to your morning routine.
