“I have a Hario v60 size 02. I've made coffee with this only about 30-40 times. I've had less than ideal results.”— drumofny on Reddit
“The number 02 can definitely accomadate more ground coffee than 25-30 grams, and the beauty of the V60 is that you have full control over the brew time with both grind size and pour speed.”— JmanEspresso on Home-Barista
“I have a V60 02 and with 30g of fresh coffee (even after a 45 second bloom) the brewer seems to fill up with swollen coffee. For me, this has made following the Scott Rao method difficult for more than ~25g.”— The_Eclectic_One on Reddit
“I have the 02 and it was very difficult to get a good cup when I was trying to brew using 15g or less of coffee, and that was resolved by getting an 01.”— MikeTheBlueCow on Reddit
“I noticed 01 brews tend to be a little cleaner, while 02 seems to be a bit more consistent as drawdown is a bit slower.”— Capac on Home-Barista
“the 02 a minimum of 300 ml and a max of maybe 500, I usually brew 200 on my 01 (2 minutes) and 400 on my 02 (3 minutes)”— the_pianist91 on Reddit
“I have standard edition plastic and ceramic V60s and do not see any noticeable difference in draw down times.”— VibrantCoffee on Reddit
“I used to do 20g + 320 ml on my 02 and never found it to taste right, even when I carried the grind size.”— TOMMMMMM on Reddit
