Measure the whole pour-over stack, not just the dripper

A dripper, vessel and scale form an arrangement whose height is not the dripper height alone.

Identify the exact component

Hario lists the plastic V60 size 02 family at 137 mm wide, 116 mm deep and 102 mm high. That is a product dimension, not a measurement of your finished brewing arrangement. Other sizes and materials should not be assumed identical.

Our linked reference is the clear plastic size 02. Confirm the variant and contents before buying filters, a server or a stand. A model number is a better reference than the word “V60” alone.

Measure the arrangement you will use

Write down the vessel, any scale and the dripper as separate components. Their assembled height may depend on how parts sit together; simply adding catalog heights can be misleading where one part overlaps another. Measure the actual assembled setup when possible, using the product instructions.

The counter tool can reserve a rectangle for the complete arrangement. It cannot determine whether a dripper is supported securely by a mug or whether a vessel is compatible. Do not treat a matching outside diameter as proof of stability.

Include the items beside the stack

A manual setup may still need room for water preparation, filters and the used dripper. Record what happens before and after brewing rather than treating the finished stack as the entire station. Follow the instructions for handling hot equipment and liquids; this is a planning record, not a handling tutorial.

Choose only the missing function. If an existing compatible vessel and suitable equipment meet the task, the guide does not require a matching accessory set. Keep the exact component names in your notes so later changes do not inherit unverified assumptions.
