Similar in design to the V60 dripper. Both are typical conical V-shaped drippers with a single large hole. The major difference between the Kōno and V60 are the vertical ribs that guide the water through the ground coffee. Making it a faster flow than the V60. So expect your brew time to be 20 seconds faster than the V60. And you can expect a full bodied coffee with lots of sweetness.
The Kōno was my first V-shaped conical dripper. Therefore, it's very dear to me. I use it often for evening brews. Yes, I drink coffee at night and I don't have a problem with sleeping! This brewer performs well with all coffees.
