HARIO debuted the 'V60 Dripper NEO' at World of Coffee San Diego 2026, an updated pour-over brewer designed to improve extraction through refined internal ribbing and Tritan resin construction. The device features 72 inner ribs that channel into fine outlet ribs to support faster, more even water flow, reducing bitterness.
Alongside the NEO, HARIO introduced its 'V60 Surfboard Base Dripper Collection,' a coastal-inspired take on the classic cone dripper available in six color options, including 'Tropical Fish,' 'Hawaiian Sunset' and 'Sea Breeze.' Both products were available for purchase on-site at the brand's booth.
As coffee culture continues to evolve, HARIO demonstrates how legacy brewing tools can stay relevant through a mix of technical upgrades and lifestyle-driven design storytelling.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Advanced Pour-over Engineering
- Refined internal ribbing and directed flow channels in drippers enabling precision extraction that could redefine manual brewing standards.
- Lifestyle-led Product Design
- Coastal-inspired colorways and storytelling are turning utilitarian brew tools into lifestyle products that bridge specialty coffee and home décor.
- Material Innovation in Brewware
- The use of Tritan resin and other modern polymers is producing durable, lightweight brewers that challenge traditional ceramic and glass offerings.
Sectors Adopting This
- Specialty Coffee Equipment
- Next-gen dripper mechanics and precision-focused components are creating opportunities for premium accessories and modular ecosystems around manual brewing.
- Kitchenware and Consumer Goods
- Aesthetic-driven variants of functional items are fostering collaborations between appliance makers and lifestyle brands to expand market appeal.
- Hospitality and Coffee Shops
- Barista-oriented extraction improvements are elevating brewer selection as an experiential differentiator within cafés and boutique hospitality venues.
