Hario Pegasus 01

Equipment notes

The Pegasus is a trapezoid dripper introduced in 2023 by Hario of Japan, the company best known for the conical V60. Designed to support a brewer's first steps into hand drip, it is a hybrid that pairs an easy-to-handle wedge shape with the spiral ribs that define the V60. The 01 is the smallest size in the series, made for one to two cups. A narrow, flat base carries two small drain holes, so the dripper itself governs how fast water leaves the bed. Compared with the V60's single open hole, flow is restricted, which means variations in pour speed or grind size sway the cup far less and each brew lands close to the last. The spiral ribs keep the paper filter off the wall, giving trapped air an escape path so the coffee bed can swell evenly. It takes the dedicated Pegasus trapezoid paper filter in size 01, and common fan-shaped filters of the same size generally fit as well. Bloom with a medium grind, then pour in a few pulses; a wobbly stream will not ruin the result. It is a dripper for beginners who want one or two dependable cups a day without wrestling with technique.
