YAMI Ceramic V60-Style Filter Cup: Single-Hole Design for 2–4 Cups

If you’ve ever tried to pour coffee through a dripper and ended up with uneven extraction or channeling, you’re not alone. Many home brewers struggle with choosing the right filter cup—one that balances flow control, stability, and ease of use without compromising flavor clarity. The right design can make or break your pour-over experience.

The YAMI 02 is a single-hole ceramic V60-style filter cup built for 2–4 cups. It measures 12.5cm in diameter at the top, 6.5cm at the bottom, and stands 11cm tall. Its single-hole design encourages controlled flow, while the V-shape promotes even saturation. Minor cosmetic flaws may include uneven glaze, slight base chipping, or minor lip warping—but these do not impact brewing performance.

What Is the YAMI 02 Filter Cup?

The YAMI 02 is a ceramic pour-over dripper modeled after the popular V60 shape, but with a key difference: it has just one central hole instead of the usual multiple holes found on most V60 drippers. This gives you more control over brew speed and extraction, especially useful for refining your pour technique. The cup is made from ceramic, which helps maintain a stable brewing temperature and adds durability to your setup.

Key Dimensions and Capacity

The YAMI 02 is designed for small-batch brewing:

• Cup mouth diameter: 12.5cm
• Cup base diameter: 6.5cm
• Height: 11cm
• Recommended brew size: 2–4 servings

These dimensions make it a good fit for single or shared cups, whether you're brewing a morning pour-over or experimenting with different recipes.

Flaws and Their Impact

Please note: some YAMI 02 units may arrive with visual imperfections. These include:

• Uneven glaze color
• Slight missing ceramic on the base
• Minor deformation at the cup mouth

These flaws are purely cosmetic. They do not affect the cup’s functionality, brew performance, or durability. If you’re sensitive to appearance issues, consider this before purchasing.

Why Choose a Single-Hole Dripper?

A single-hole dripper like the YAMI 02 gives you precision. Unlike multi-hole designs, it forces you to control the flow rate manually—encouraging slower, more intentional pouring and better awareness of brew time and extraction balance. That makes it great for coffee enthusiasts who want to refine their technique or highlight subtle flavors in single-origin beans.

Using the YAMI 02 in Your Brew Routine

To get the best results:

• Pair it with a paper filter sized to its V60-like shape.
• Use a gooseneck kettle for controlled pouring.
• Aim for a typical pour-over brew ratio (e.g., 1:15 to 1:17) and a medium-fine grind (similar to table salt).
• Brew with water between 90–96°C for balanced extraction.

The 11cm height offers enough space for blooming and layered pouring, and the wide mouth aids in even saturation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the YAMI 02 suitable for everyday home brewing?

Yes. The YAMI 02 is ideal for brewing 2–4 cups at a time, making it well-suited for personal or small-group use at home. Its single-hole design allows for more hands-on control over the pour, which many home brewers appreciate when dialing in their recipe.

Does the single-hole design affect brewing speed?

Yes. Compared to multi-hole V60 drippers, the single hole slows down water flow, requiring a more deliberate pour. This can help improve extraction consistency if you pour carefully, but it also means the brew may take slightly longer.

Are the reported flaws serious?

No. The flaws mentioned—like uneven glaze, minor base wear, or slight rim deformation—are cosmetic only. They don’t impact how the dripper functions or how your coffee tastes. The cup remains fully usable for brewing.

Can I use the YAMI 02 with any filter paper?

For best results, use standard V60-shaped paper filters that fit a 12.5cm diameter. Ensure the filter sits properly to avoid bypass or uneven saturation during brewing.

What if I don’t want a dripper with visible imperfections?

If aesthetics are important to you, consider passing on units with visible glaze or shape issues. The YAMI 02’s functional performance is unaffected, but the visual flaws may not appeal to all users.
