What Can You Brew with the Beaker Server and Dripper Set?

Quick answer

The Beaker Server and Dripper Set is designed for brewing pour over coffee, making 1 to 4 cups at a time using Hario V60 filters and a ceramic dripper.

What makes this set different from other pour over kits?

This set combines a classic ceramic V60 dripper with a glass beaker server that has printed measurements, so you can track your water and coffee ratio without a separate scale. The beaker also has a handle for easy pouring, which is helpful when you're learning pour over technique.

Because the server is made of glass, it's transparent and lets you see the brew level. However, glass can be more fragile than plastic or metal servers, so handle it with care when washing or storing.

Can you brew tea or other drinks with this set?

Technically, you can use the dripper and server for loose-leaf tea if you place the tea leaves in a filter. But the V60 dripper is optimized for coffee grounds—its cone shape and spiral ridges are designed for even coffee extraction. For tea, a dedicated infuser or teapot will give you better results.

Stick with coffee for the best experience. The set is not intended for cold brew, espresso, or milk-based drinks.

What grind size and coffee dose work best?

For a standard V60 pour over, use a medium-fine grind (like table salt). The included white tabbed filters (size 02) fit the dripper. A good starting dose is 15-18 grams of coffee for a single cup (about 250 ml of water). Adjust to taste.

The beaker's measurement markings help you add the right amount of water, but you'll still need a scale to weigh coffee grounds for consistency.
