Why a Drip Stand Makes Pour Over Easier
A pour over coffee setup typically includes a dripper, a server, and a kettle. Adding a dedicated stand lifts the dripper above the counter, giving you a stable brewing platform and enough clearance for a scale or carafe. The Hario Walnut Series Drip Stand (WDS-1-WN) is designed to work with your existing V60 drippers and servers, keeping everything organized in one spot.

How to Set Up Your Pour Over Station
Place the stand on a dry, level surface. Slide the server under the stand, then set the dripper on top. The stand's open design lets you watch your brew and remove the server easily.
- Choose your dripper and server: The Walnut Drip Stand fits V60 drippers in sizes 01, 02, and 03. It works with Hario servers in sizes 01 and 02. The V60 Glass Dripper 02 (VDG-02-WN) is a popular match.
- Assemble the stand: No tools needed. The stainless steel stand rests on the walnut base. The non-slip bottom keeps it from sliding. Place the dripper on the stand's ring.
- Add a kettle: A gooseneck kettle like the V60 Buono Drip Kettle 0.7L (VKBR-70-HSV) gives you precise water flow. Its slim spout helps control pour speed for consistent extraction.
- Brew as usual: Place your cup or server beneath the dripper, add a filter and grounds, then pour hot water. The stand holds the dripper securely while you focus on the pour.
What to Know About the V60 Glass Dripper
The V60 Glass Dripper 02 (VDG-02-WN) features a heatproof glass body and a walnut wood base. Its conical shape allows coffee grounds to layer deeply, while spiral ridges and an open bottom let you control flow rate. Pour quickly for a lighter body or slowly for a heavier flavor. The glass body is dishwasher safe, but the wood base should not be washed or soaked.
Placement and Care Tips
Keep the stand and dripper away from the edge of the counter to avoid accidental knocks. The walnut base can be wiped with a dry cloth; do not submerge it in water. The stainless steel stand can be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried immediately. The V60 Buono Kettle is not induction compatible, so use it on a gas, electric, or halogen stove.
