Is HARIO a Japanese brand?
HARIO has been designing and producing quality heatproof glass in Japan for over 100 years. In this website, we share our thoughts on glass manufacturing and the road we have taken so far. Hario, derived from the Japanese words for glass and king to be dubbed as “The King of Glass,” was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1921 by Hiromu Shibata with the goal of designing, manufacturing, and marketing heatproof glass.
Which country made HARIO?
HARIO, The King of Glass HARIO is the only heatproof glass manufacturer in Japan with their own factory. We started out manufacturing laboratory glassware. In 1948, we expanded our production to household items, starting with the coffee siphon. We also began producing lenses for automotive headlights in 1980. The V60 Dripper gets its name from the 60-degree angle created by the cone’s shape. The Hario company, founded in Japan in 1921, invented the V60 in the 1950s. Previously they were specialized in heat-resistant glassware for scientific research purposes.
When was Hario founded?
HARIO was established in 1921 as a manufacturer and seller of scientific products. The origin of “V60” started as brewing coffee using a familiar Erlenmeyer funnel and filter paper folded into quarters found in the company. Amongst coffee geeks, Hario is a brand that producers exceptional quality coffee syphons, drips, kettles and grinders. There are two Hario grinder models which I have owned and tried, and that I am happy to recommend.
